FadCam is an open-source, ad-free Android multimedia recorder supporting discreet background video recording, dashcam mode, screen recording with annotations, and live streaming with remote camera control via a web interface. It is privacy-focused, FOSS, and built with Java using CameraX/Camera2 and FFmpeg for Android.
Use cases
- record video in the background with the screen off
- use my phone as a dashcam
- record my android screen with annotations
- live stream my camera feed over local network
- remotely control my phone camera from a browser
- record video discreetly without ads or tracking
- geotag and watermark recorded videos
When to choose
- you need a free, open-source background or dashcam video recorder on Android
- you want ad-free, privacy-first recording with no trackers
- you need screen recording with annotation and editing tools
- you want to monitor or control a camera remotely over your local network
When to avoid
- you need an iOS or desktop recorder (Android only; desktop is planned)
- you need cloud-based streaming or professional multi-camera surveillance today
- you want an app available on Google Play rather than sideloading or F-Droid
