RemoteVideoCam
Remote Video Cam is an open-source Android application that allows two devices to stream high-quality video and audio to each other over a local connection. Whether you're using it as a baby monitor, a DIY security camera, or a walkie-talkie, RemoteVideoCam offers a secure, offline-first solution without the need for internet access or third-party servers.
✨ Features
- Zero Configuration: Devices automatically discover and connect to each other.
- Robust Connection: Automatically negotiates the best available connection method:
- Local Network (LAN): Uses your existing Wi-Fi network.
- Wi-Fi Aware / Wi-Fi Direct: Connects devices directly without an access point (offline).
- Secure & Private: No external servers. No cloud. Video and audio streams never leave your local environment.
- Modern UI: Built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3, offering a beautiful, responsive, and intuitive interface with dynamic colors.
- Two Modes:
- Camera Mode: Acts as the broadcaster.
- Display Mode: View the feed from the other device.
- Includes "Mirror" option to flip the video horizontally.
- Note: Both devices can be in Display Mode to see each other (bidirectional).
- Audio Support: Hear what's happening on the other end.
⚠️ Important Note
Not a Medical Device: While RemoteVideoCam can be useful for monitoring (e.g., as a baby monitor), it is not a certified medical device.
- Video feeds may freeze due to network interference.
- Always have a backup monitoring method.
- Tip: Place a moving object (like a clock with a second hand) in the frame to easily verify that the video is live.
