Features

Everything stays on your network.

Local network only

Live video travels directly from the camera phone to the viewer over your Wi-Fi. There is no relay server and no internet remote access — by design.

Encrypted media

Video and audio are carried over WebRTC's mandatory encrypted channels — the same technology behind modern video calls.

No account, no cloud

Nothing to sign up for and nothing uploaded. ReuseCam works without a developer server — your footage is never stored or seen by us.

Watch on any screen

Open the watch link in a modern browser on your laptop, or use the app on another Android or iOS device as a dedicated viewer.

Scan and watch

Point the viewer at the QR code on the camera screen, or pick the camera from the automatic nearby-device list. Connected in seconds.

Sharp when it matters

Broadcast at 720p or 1080p with hardware H.264 encoding, tuned to hold resolution steady on a normal home network.

How it works

Three steps to a live picture.

Step 01

Set the camera

Open ReuseCam on the spare phone, choose Camera mode, place it where you want eyes, and tap Start.

Step 02

Connect a viewer

On your other device, scan the QR code, open the local link in a browser, or pick the camera from the nearby list.

Step 03

Watch live

See and hear the room in real time. Flip cameras, mute the mic, switch quality — and stop the broadcast with one tap.

Privacy

Private by architecture, not by promise.

ReuseCam was built so that trusting us isn't required: the app has no server to send your footage to. Read the full policy for exactly what the app processes and what never leaves your devices.

Read the Privacy Policy
  • No recording, no uploads. Video is processed in real time and never saved or sent to a server.
  • Fresh keys every broadcast. Each session uses a new random access token that expires the moment you stop.
  • Always visible. A persistent notification and on-screen state make it obvious whenever the camera is live.
  • One tap to stop. Stopping disconnects the viewer immediately and invalidates the session link.
