Features

  • 📴 Option to turn the display off while streaming
  • 🤳 Switch between the main or selfie camera
  • 🎛️ Remote web interface with controls for camera section, image rotation, video recording, audio/video sync, flash light toggle, resolution, zoom, exposure and contrast
  • 🖼️ Choose between different image quality settings and frame rates (to help reduce phone over heating)
  • 🛂 Username and password protection
  • 🔐 Automatic TLS certificate support to protect stream and login details via HTTPS
  • 🥾 Optional start on boot

Warning

If you are planning to run this 24/7, please make sure that your phone does not stay at 100% charge. Doing so may damage the battery and cause it to swell up, which could cause it to explode.

Some models include an option to only charge to 80%, make sure this is enabled where possible.

Note: running at a higher image quality may cause some phones to over heat, which can also damage the battery.

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
