EdgeWatch turns any iPhone into a professional local-network camera hub. Watch every camera on your WiFi from one live grid, or turn this device into a camera server that streams to all of them. No accounts. No cloud. No subscriptions. Everything happens on your local network. WATCH: EdgeWatch automatically discovers other Edge Watch devices on your WiFi using Bonjour zero-config networking. The moment a camera comes online, its live feed appears in your grid real-time video, zero manual setup. - Live grid of all discovered cameras on your network - Tap any feed for fullscreen view with full remote control - Remotely adjust zoom, focus, torch, and front/back camera flip - Green badge shows exactly how many feeds are currently live - Switch between 1-column and 2-column grid layouts BROADCAST: One tap turns this device into a live camera server. Edge Watch streams as both an H.264 RTSP feed and a browser-viewable MJPEG feed simultaneously and every other Edge Watch device on your network picks it up instantly. - H.264 over RTSP (:8554) - compatible with VLC, OBS, and NVRs - MJPEG browser preview (:8080) view from any web browser on the network - Share stream URLs instantly via QR code - Dual-camera compositing merge front and back into one stream - Side-by-side, picture-in-picture, or full-frame layout options - Motion detection with adjustable sensitivity - HTTP webhook notifications triggered by motion events - Broadcast Lock mode prevents accidental navigation mid-stream SOURCES: Control exactly how Edge Watch finds cameras on your network. Toggle Bonjour scanning, force a manual rescan, or switch to Camera Mode for efficient monitoring without the full encoder. - Bonjour discovery for _rtsp._tcp and _ewcam._tcp devices - Camera Mode: lightweight ~12fps MJPEG feed with remote controls — no H.264 encoder needed - Live status list of all discovered devices (online, connecting, offline) - See this device's own local IP address and Bonjour service identifiers TELEMETRY: A live system health dashboard with rolling sparklines, broadcast metrics, and a complete session event log. - CPU load and network I/O sparklines, updated every second - Live bitrate, frame rate, and connected client count while broadcasting - Timestamped event log covering the full session PRIVACY FIRST: Edge Watch collects zero personal data. No account is required. No internet connection is needed at any point. All video streams travel exclusively over your local WiFi network and never reach the internet or any external server.
