Old Phone Cam turns an old phone into a camera on your local network. The video never leaves the phone: you watch it in a browser from any device on the same Wi-Fi, with no server in between, no account and no subscription required.
The free tier does everything, with a watermark.
Plug the old phone in, open the app, press Start Streaming.
Scan it with another phone, or type the address into a browser.
A browser, VLC or Home Assistant. Nothing to install.
The short answer: nowhere.
No recording server, no cloud. The stream travels your network only, to the devices you allow.
No email, no password, no profile. It works the moment you open it.
The same Wi-Fi is enough. It works even when the router has no internet.
The address carries a key. Without it a request is refused, and the QR code already carries it.
It watches the temperature and lowers the frame rate itself when it has to, and says so on screen.
A browser, VLC, Home Assistant. MJPEG is a standard stream, no special app required.
Streaming itself is never paid for. Premium lifts the limits for people who use it often.
Prices are shown in the store. The annual plan starts with 7 days free.
This is a surveillance tool. Recording other people without their consent may be illegal where you are; how you use it is on you.
