Wake up the old phone in your drawer and turn it into a home camera. You don't need expensive equipment. A phone you no longer use becomes the camera, your own phone becomes the viewer — two phones and you have live monitoring. Front door, living room, shop, office, garage and your pets. Just place it where you want to look. ■ How it works 1. Install MonggleCam on a spare phone and place it as a camera where you want to watch. 2. Install it on the phone you carry too, and connect the two with one QR scan. 3. From then on it connects on its own. Watch live whenever and wherever you like. The camera and the viewer don't need to be the same kind of phone: any spare phone you already own can be the camera. ■ Key features · Live view – reconnects automatically if the connection drops. · Listen-in – hear what's happening around the camera in real time. · Two-way talk – speak into the viewer and it plays from the camera phone's speaker. · Sound alerts – notifies you the moment a sound is detected, even when you aren't watching. · Motion detection and recording (Premium) – detects movement, notifies you and records the moment. · Multiple cameras – manage several places (home, shop, garage) in one app. · Snapshots – capture important moments as images. ■ Your video never touches our servers MonggleCam connects your two phones over an encrypted direct channel (peer-to-peer). Video and audio travel only between the devices and never through our servers, so no one can watch in between. Sound detection is also calculated on the device only — the audio itself is never sent or stored anywhere. Only a small still image of a detection moment may be kept for up to 7 days so the alert can show it. ■ Only your own spaces MonggleCam is meant for your own home, business and rooms. Avoid filming neighbors' property, shared areas or public spaces, and let people who may appear on camera know.

About

Snitch

Features
Read full description

Snitch is a motion and sound monitor for pets, package deliveries, and everyday events. Describe what you want to detect and receive an alert when the camera scene or sound matches your condition. Point your iPhone or iPad at the front door, the kitchen counter, or the couch the dog isn’t allowed on. Draw a box around the area that matters and describe your trigger: “a package is delivered”, “the cat is on the counter”, or “a bird lands on the feeder”. Snitch checks the scene when motion is detected and alerts you when your condition matches. WATCH OR LISTEN Use Camera mode to monitor a selected area, or Sound mode to listen for a sound you describe. Motion and sound detection on your device help decide when to request an AI check. Keep the monitoring device awake with Snitch open. ALERTS WHERE YOU NEED THEM Choose chimes, vibration, or spoken alerts, with a choice of voices. Receive alerts on your Apple Watch, or pair another iPhone or iPad as a dedicated receiver. Paired devices can receive notifications and view encrypted shared replays without creating an account. REPLAYS AND HISTORY Review detections with an explanation and confidence level. Play camera replays or sound clips, inspect replay frames, choose a thumbnail, and revisit the moments that mattered. Shared events remain available until their displayed expiry. PRIVACY AND SETUP Camera checks send the selected crop for AI analysis; sound checks send short audio clips. The app does not provide a continuous cloud video feed. Optional paired sharing encrypts shared events. Mount the monitoring device somewhere stable, keep Snitch open, and connect power for longer sessions. No separate camera hub or account is required. Use Snitch for everyday moments involving pets, deliveries, bird feeders, and home projects. Detection depends on the scene, sound, connection, and trigger you choose.
