Phonitor vs AI Security Camera & Viewer

Ever thought your old iPhone or iPad could do more? Phonitor turns your unused devices into a smart monitoring camera — no extra hardware, no extra cost. Simply use your spare iPhone, iPad, or Mac as the camera, and view the live or playback on your everyday device. Place it wherever you need — a shelf, windowsill, the crib, even outside for an afternoon. No mounts, no drilling: run on the built-in battery for short stints, or plug in for the long haul. Easily keep an eye on your home, yard, office, or stay connected with your baby, pets, and loved ones. Built with privacy at its core, Phonitor is completely ad-free and collects no data. Designed exclusively for the Apple ecosystem, it harnesses Apple’s native technologies for seamless performance — now with a fresh look on iOS 26. Here are the key benefits: REAL-TIME MONITORING: Watch your camera’s live stream anytime, anywhere, on any of your Apple devices. INSTANT PLAYBACK: Replay any moment from the recordings stored on your camera device. EXPORT CLIPS: Trim and save the moments that matter — locally or remotely — and share them anywhere. (Pro) TWO-WAY AUDIO: Hear what’s happening and talk as if you’re there. (Pro) NIGHT VISION: Cleaner, steadier video in low light, with anti-flicker tuning that keeps the picture calm even under dim bulbs. CRISP VIDEO: Up to 2K at 60fps, with multiple resolutions and frame rates to fit your scene. LOW LATENCY: Experience minimal delay powered by the device-to-device direct connection. ULTRA-WIDE CAMERA: Capture a broader view with the ultra-wide lens on compatible devices. LONG-TERM OPTIMIZATION: Smart battery use and reduced heat on the camera device — built for stable, long-running streaming. BACKGROUND PLAY: Continue monitoring while using other apps, or even with the screen locked. (Pro) PRIVATE: Video streams go directly device-to-device via P2P — never through or stored on third-party servers. Recordings stay on your camera. Only you can access them. SECURE: Phonitor uses iCloud to securely sync your critical data across devices. Your Apple ID is all you need — no extra accounts required. Upgrade to Phonitor Pro for unlimited monitoring and exclusive features with a 7-day free trial. More exciting features are coming soon with regular updates! Reusing old devices isn’t just about saving money — it’s a more sustainable, mindful lifestyle. Repurpose your old hardware in a simple, secure, and practical way, rather than letting it gather dust when it’s still fully capable.

LIVE VIEW AND MONITORING Live viewing is free and does not use credits. Monitoring is separate: when enabled, the camera detects selected people, animals, or vehicles and creates event recordings and notifications. Smart Alerts use 1 credit per detection. Interval mode uses 0.1 credit per frame; 10 frames = 1 credit. Monitoring stops when credits reach zero. PRO provides unlimited monitoring. INTERNET AND OFFLINE Internet is required for live viewing, remote event history, and push notifications. Online monitoring can upload event videos and smaller previews. Offline mode keeps recordings on the camera phone without uploads or synchronization. CONTEXT Context adds a short factual description of visible activity to a recorded event. Its notification may arrive after the fast alert. FAQ Live viewing does not use credits. The app saves event clips, not continuous video. Turn an old phone into an AI security camera for your home. Watch live video with sound from your main phone, check on pets and get alerts with photo previews when selected objects are detected. Use your spare phone as the camera and your main phone as the viewer. Pair them by QR code or short code. Remote viewing requires an internet connection on both devices. AI ALERTS Choose people, animals or vehicles. The camera reacts to selected categories instead of every movement. When an object is detected, it saves an event video up to 30 seconds long, including a few seconds before detection. Video can include sound and a photo preview can be sent with the push notification. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the app on two phones. 2. Choose Camera on the spare phone. 3. Choose Viewer on your main phone. 4. Pair them by QR code or short code. 5. Start monitoring and choose event categories. FEATURES • Live video and sound • Remote viewing over the internet • AI detection of people, animals and vehicles • Event videos up to 30 seconds with pre-event video • Push notifications with photo previews • Timer photos and multiple cameras • Local library, calendar and event filters • Share saved videos and photos • Camera status, battery and storage controls • Offline mode without a second phone CONTEXT MODE Context reviews recorded event videos, filters some false positives and adds a short description of the visible activity. This additional analysis may deliver its notification after the fast alert. LOCAL STORAGE AND OFFLINE MODE Event videos and previews are saved locally on the camera phone. In online mode, event videos are uploaded for remote history and smaller previews are sent for notifications. Remote viewing, remote history and notifications require internet access. Offline mode works with one phone and keeps recordings on that device without uploads or synchronization. It does not provide remote viewing or push notifications. A permanent cloud archive is not required. FOR HOME AND MORE Use an old phone as a home security camera, garage or driveway camera, pet camera, baby monitor or office camera.
