## What is Swiftcam?

Live home-camera viewing, without the lag.

Swiftcam is a fast, privacy-focused viewer for self-hosted camera systems. Connect to Frigate NVR, go2rtc, MediaMTX, or another WHEP-compatible server and get to your live feeds with minimal delay.

Open your camera grid quickly, jump into a stream in one tap, and see what is happening close to real time. Swiftcam is designed around speed: less waiting, less friction, and a more responsive view of your home cameras.

Extensive view transforms help you make unusual camera feeds usable, including oddly sized, rotated, mirrored, or imperfectly framed streams.

Keep a stream playing in Picture in Picture while you use other apps, so you can stay aware without staying in the app.
Swiftcam requires an existing self-hosted Frigate NVR, go2rtc, MediaMTX, direct JPEG/HTTP snapshot source, or compatible WHEP server installation.
