    Really clever concept — finally a way to use my old Pixel as a baby monitor without signing up for yet another cloud service. The direct phone-to-phone streaming over Wi-Fi means zero latency and no privacy concerns. Setup took like 2 minutes. Only downside is it's Android-only, would love iOS support.

What is Homeye?

Homeye turns a spare Android phone into a camera you can view from another Android phone on the same Wi-Fi. Pair by QR code or a six-digit code and stream video and audio directly between the devices over WebRTC with DTLS-SRTP. No app account or ads.

Features: live video and audio, push-to-talk, motion detection with a thumbnail alert, viewer zoom, and four quality levels that adapt to the camera phone's temperature and battery. A stability check helps you find background and battery settings. The viewer makes interrupted or frozen video explicit.

Privacy: the Google Play edition uses basic connection and usage analytics and crash reporting. Feedback is submitted only when the user chooses to send it and can include an optional contact email. Video and audio are not uploaded to those services. Privacy policy: https://jeromeliees.github.io/legal/homeye/

Current limitations: Android only; two phones on the same Wi-Fi; no away-from-home viewing and no video recording. Motion alerts are immediate while the viewer is watching; otherwise events are listed when you reconnect. Remote viewing is in development and is not available in the published release.

Free, no in-app purchases. Android 7.0 or newer. 15 interface languages.
