eyeOn CCTV turns your iPhone or iPad into a live monitor for a home security camera you make from a spare phone. Set a spare phone or tablet down as the camera, pair it with your iPhone or iPad, and watch the live video and sound from anywhere. No account, no subscription, no complicated setup. WHICH DEVICE DOES WHAT On iPhone and iPad, eyeOn is the monitor — the screen you watch on. The camera half of the pair runs on a second device you set down where you want to watch. For the list of devices that can be used as the camera, see https://cctvdroid.omyzero.com HOW TO SET IT UP 1. On the device you want as the camera, open eyeOn and choose "Use this device as camera." A pairing code and a QR code appear. 2. On your iPhone or iPad, point your camera at the QR code — it opens eyeOn with the pairing code already filled in. Or open eyeOn, choose "Use this device as monitor," and type the code. 3. You're connected — your iPhone shows the live camera. WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM YOUR iPHONE OR iPAD • Watch live video from the paired camera • Hear live sound from the room, and mute it with a tap • Switch the camera between its front and back lens • See the camera device's battery level on the live screen • Reconnect any time with the same pairing GREAT FOR • Baby or nursery monitor • Pet camera while you're out • Watching the front door, garage, office or shop • Elderly-care check-ins • A second pair of eyes on any room KEEPS WORKING WITHOUT INTERNET Pairing needs a connection once. After that, if both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, the live view keeps working on your local network even when the internet is down. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There are no accounts and no profiles. Your live video and sound go straight to your own paired device over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection, and are not recorded or kept by us. You choose who you share your pairing code with. Read our Privacy Policy: https://cctvdroid.omyzero.com/privacy.html WHAT YOU NEED • A spare phone or tablet to act as the camera, running eyeOn • Your iPhone or iPad as the monitor • An internet connection to pair, and to watch from away • The camera device kept powered on (plugged in is best for all-day use) USE IT LAWFULLY eyeOn is for watching your own home, family, pets and property. You are responsible for following the camera and recording laws where you live, including asking for any permission the law requires. It is a handy consumer tool, not a professional or life-safety security system, so please don't rely on it as your only protection. By using eyeOn you agree to our Terms of Use: https://cctvdroid.omyzero.com/terms-of-use.html NEED HELP? Email support@omyzero.com or visit https://cctvdroid.omyzero.com Reuse the spare phone in your drawer — and keep an eye on what matters from your iPhone.
