Within minutes you can watch live video, listen to audio and get alerts when motion or sound is detected. There is no need to buy an expensive standalone camera. Camerito works over WiFi or cellular data. FREE, WITH NO TIME LIMIT Camerito Free is not a short trial. You can use the core monitoring features for as long as you like, with ads.

SEE, HEAR AND RESPOND • Watch live video and listen to audio remotely. • Get motion alerts and sound notifications; adjust sensitivity and detection zones. • Review short event clips saved automatically, or record a clip manually and save or share it. • Missed something?

EVENTS AND DEVICES Free keeps events for 1 day and supports up to 3 Camera Stations. Premium keeps event history for up to 21 days and removes the Camera Station limit.

Camerito can also help you check on an older parent or a baby, or take a quick look at a dog, cat or other pet while you are away. GOOD TO KNOW Camerito connects your own devices. It does not set up or display third-party CCTV, IP, video doorbell or smart camera hardware. It is a monitoring aid, not a replacement for a certified alarm, emergency service or professional security system. Performance depends on the devices, permissions, power and network connection. SUBSCRIPTIONS In-app purchases are processed by Apple. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple Account. Camerito does not receive or store your card number. Need help?
