Camera Monitor

Your phone is the camera. Any device can watch.

Start the camera on a spare phone, scan the QR code with another device, and watch the live feed instantly — peer-to-peer in the browser. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.

Start the camera →

Runs on the phone that will be the camera. You'll get a QR code to scan from the watching device.

How it works

  1. Open this page on the phone you want to use as the camera and tap Start the camera.
  2. Allow camera access and choose the front or back lens.
  3. A QR code and a private join link appear.
  4. Scan the QR code — or type the link — on the laptop, tablet, or TV that should watch the feed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install an app?

No. Both sides run in the browser — current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari.

Is the video uploaded to a server?

No. Video goes directly between your devices over a peer-to-peer WebRTC connection. A free signaling service is used only to introduce the two browsers.

Does the camera phone need to stay awake?

The page keeps the phone screen awake while the camera runs. Keep the phone plugged in for long sessions — live camera streaming uses battery.

Why can the other device not connect?

Some restrictive networks block direct WebRTC. Keep both devices online and try current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari; a mobile hotspot is a good fallback.
