An Android app that turns an old phone into a surveillance security camera, streaming H.264 video and G.726 audio over a built-in web server via websocket to any modern browser. It includes a pure-JavaScript H.264 decoder on the client side and planned motion detection features.
Use cases
- turn an old android phone into a security camera
- view my phone camera feed from a pc browser
- stream video from android phone over wifi
- build a cheap home surveillance camera
- watch phone camera remotely on lan
- monitor a room with a spare android device
When to choose
- you want to repurpose an old Android phone as a LAN-only IP camera
- you need browser-based viewing without installing client software
- you want an open-source (GPL v2) camera app to hack on
When to avoid
- you need remote access over the internet (not supported)
- you need actively maintained software (last release 2015)
- you need reliable motion detection or alarm notifications (unfinished)
- you need a supported app store distribution
