Watchful turns your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into a security camera. Your footage is securely stored on your device or in your private iCloud storage, allowing you to view it remotely on your other devices. No account setup is necessary if you already use iCloud.
In addition to recording videos and taking snapshots at an adjustable interval, Watchful makes time-lapse videos to give you a convenient overview. There's also a live video feed that you can access from your other devices via iCloud.
With motion detection, you can choose to record videos only when movement is detected and receive notifications on your other devices.
You can configure how long you want to keep your security camera footage, according to your needs and available storage. You'll see an estimate of the storage you need so that you can stay within your limits or increase your available storage.
Whether you want to use your devices as a home security camera, a nanny cam, a baby monitor, or a pet monitor, Watchful can cover all your surveillance needs.

What's New in Security Camera
2024.13
December 26, 2024
This update includes performance improvements. We’d love to hear your feedback at feedback@watchful.cam.
Even with paid version, maximum video storage length. Also no ability to only record when there’s movement.
Response from developer
Hi Richard. Watchful now has motion detection. If you get the chance to try it out, let me know what you think at feedback@watchful.cam. You can export your videos and photos directly from the app. Videos and photos are deleted after the maximum storage period that you set, because otherwise your iCloud or device storage would fill up.
