The use of cryptography makes the Rill Camera app safe and secure. The Rill Camera app uses two-key encryption technology (public and private keys). Only you have access to the private key that encrypts your Rill Camera video data. This makes your data secure and accessible only to you. Not even we can see your camera! Basic Features: • Zero-knowledge (video feed and data are encrypted, no data collection) • Sound and motion detection • Live view mode • Real-time device control • Event notifications • Two-way talk • Light mode in the dark • Switch between front and back cameras • Device status update Main scenarios: • Home security camera • Baby camera • Pet camera • Travel camera • Health camera • Vacation camera Download now for free! We store the following data in encrypted form: • Recordings (Rill Camera video data) • Communication between the Rill Camera app and the Rill Recorder app (live view, information requests, etc) NOTE: The private encryption key is stored on your device and only you can get access to the key. We keep unencrypted: • Email address We don't collect any personal data except email. If you don't want to share your email address, please use the ”Hide Email Address” feature in the Apple Sign-In. To get started, you need two devices. The first one is the primary device, where you receive notifications, watch the live view, and control the second device. The second device is for the Rill Recorder app (it is free). Pair devices with the instructions in the apps. Launch the Rill Recorder app and place the second device in a convenient place as a home security camera. By using this application, you agree to Rill Camera's terms of use (https://www.rill-camera.com/terms-of-use). Please see our privacy policy (https://www.rill-camera.com/privacy-policy).
