Turn an old phone into an AI security camera for your home. Watch live video with sound, get alerts for selected people, animals or vehicles, and read AI summaries of visible activity in recorded event videos. Use your spare phone as the Camera and your main phone as the Viewer. Pair them by QR code or short code. Live viewing is free. Remote viewing requires an internet connection on both devices. 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 • Optional audio in event recordings • Timer photos and multiple cameras in one Viewer • Local library, calendar and event filters • Share saved videos and photos • Camera status, battery and storage controls • Offline mode without a second phone AI VIDEO SUMMARIES — CONTEXT In Context mode, the app analyzes recorded event video and creates a short summary of the visible activity. It describes the objects and actions visible in the recording to help you understand what happened. When available, the summary is shown when you open the event and may be included in a notification. This additional video analysis runs online and requires internet. Processing and notifications may take time. Object detection runs on the Camera phone; video summaries use the online service. 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. Open live view or start monitoring with credits or PRO. Enable Context for video summaries. LOCAL STORAGE AND OFFLINE MODE Event videos and previews are saved on the Camera phone. Online mode can upload event videos for remote history and analysis, and smaller previews for notifications. Remote viewing, remote history, notifications and video summaries 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, push notifications or online video summaries. The app saves event clips up to 30 seconds long; continuous recording is not provided. FOR HOME AND MORE Use an old phone as a home security camera, garage or driveway camera, pet camera, baby monitor or office camera. ONLINE MONITORING AND CREDITS Live viewing is free and does not use credits. Online monitoring uses credits or PRO. Smart Alerts use 1 credit per detection. Interval mode uses 0.1 credit per frame; 10 frames = 1 credit. Without PRO, online monitoring stops when credits reach zero. PRO provides unlimited online monitoring. Credits can be earned by watching ads. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://aicam.qw.su/privacy
