Pylo · HomeKit Camera vs ReferencePoint

Turn any compatible device into a HomeKit security camera. Pylo turns a spare device into a fully functional HomeKit bridge — no hub, no cloud account, no subscription. Just open the app, scan the pairing code in Apple Home, and your old device becomes a security camera with live streaming, motion detection, and flashlight control. Features: • Live camera streaming in the Home app with two-way audio • Motion detection using the accelerometer and camera • HomeKit Secure Video recording support • Ambient light sensor • Flashlight control as a HomeKit lightbulb • Choose front or back camera, adjust video quality • Screen saver mode for always-on use • Add or remove accessories on the fly Designed for privacy: • 100% local — video never leaves your network • No accounts, no cloud, no data collection • All communication encrypted end-to-end • Works entirely over your local Wi-Fi Pylo is ideal for repurposing an old iPhone or iPad as a baby monitor, pet cam, front door camera, or general home security camera — all integrated natively with Apple Home. Note that in order for Pylo's features to work, it must remain in the foreground and the device must remain unlocked. If you use other apps or lock the device while Pylo is running, it will stop communicating with the Home app.

ReferencePoint is a multi-sensor environmental data platform for iPhone. Whether you're a field researcher, engineer, developer, or just curious about the world around you, ReferencePoint captures synchronized readings from every available sensor in a single recording session. RECORD EVERYTHING AT ONCE Start a session and ReferencePoint simultaneously logs GPS coordinates, altitude, barometric pressure, magnetic field, motion, audio, pedometer, activity type, hardware motion, and system state — all timestamped and synchronized. MODULES Dashboard — Live readings from all sensors at a glance Record — One-tap multi-sensor capture with drop-pin support 3D LiDAR — Spatial scanning and point cloud capture Camera — Synchronized video alongside sensor data AR — Augmented reality with live environmental context GPS — Real-time location and altitude tracking Audio — Waveform capture synchronized with all other sensors Sensors — Pressure, magnetic field, and more Intelligence — AI-powered session analysis Map — Visualize recorded paths and pinned locations History — Browse, compare, and export past sessions COMPARE SESSIONS Select any two recordings and compare them side by side — duration, sampling rate, total samples, and per-sensor counts with delta values highlighted. EXPORT YOUR DATA Every session exports in three formats: JSON for developers, CSV for spreadsheets and analysis tools, and GPX for mapping and navigation software. PRIVACY FIRST ReferencePoint does not collect, transmit, or share your data. Everything stays on your device. You decide what to capture and where it goes.
