## What is VigilCam?

VigilCam turns any iPhone into a dedicated security camera. Record continuous HD footage directly to your device, iCloud Drive, or Firebase — with automatic clip rotation, motion detection, and instant email alerts when movement is detected while you're away.

Key features
• Continuous recording with configurable clip length (1–60 min)
• Motion detection with push notifications and email alerts
• On-device, iCloud Drive, or Firebase cloud storage
• Live P2P video stream to a second iPhone over Wi-Fi
• Browse, review, and delete recordings by date and device
• Runs in the background — keep recording with the screen off
• No subscription, no account required for on-device storage
