minicam is an app that uses WIFI to connect a real-time surveillance camera from a mobile phone. You can watch surveillance video at any time, or you can save photos and videos on your phone for viewing. Each camera is identified by a unique ID number, and when used by the user, only the ID number of the camera that needs to be viewed needs to be set.
