Mobile Security Camera (FTP)

Turn your phone into a security camera in seconds. CameraFTP Mobile Security Camera is ready as soon as you install it, sign in and tap Start: no configuration, no router settings, no port forwarding and no hardware to buy. An old phone or a spare tablet already has a camera, a battery, Wi-Fi and mobile data, which is everything a security camera needs.

Watch the live view from anywhere, record locally on the device in your hand, and play the footage back whenever you want. Use it as a home security camera, a baby monitor, a pet camera or a nanny cam, then move it to another room without reconfiguring anything.

LIVE VIEWING AND LOCAL RECORDING ARE INCLUDED

Live viewing is part of the free basic service, with no subscription and no time limit. Talk and listen through two-way video and audio. Record locally on your phone or tablet and replay the clips whenever you need them; the free basic service includes a limited amount of local or cloud recording, so you can try recording before deciding on a plan. You do not need to order anything to set up your first camera.

ALSO WORKS WITH IP CAMERAS YOU ALREADY OWN

Already have IP cameras, an NVR, a DVR or a webcam? Almost all IP cameras support FTP, so an IP camera can upload its footage to CameraFTP too. Phone cameras and CCTV hardware can share one account and one login. Adding a spare phone as an extra angle, or moving a small CCTV or video surveillance setup into the cloud, both work the same way: one account, one place to watch everything. An IP camera is optional; your phone is all you need.

WHY CAMERAFTP

- A security camera in seconds: no pairing, no router login, no technical skills

- Live view in any web browser on any computer, or in the free CameraFTP Viewer app on another phone or tablet

- Two-way video and audio, so you can check in and be heard, not just watch

- Local recording keeps footage on your device, under your control

- Motion detection, instant alerts, camera offline alerts and daily event reports

- Time-lapse recording for projects that run for hours or days

- Publish a camera publicly, or embed the live feed on your own web page

- Play back and download your recordings whenever you need them

RECORDING OPTIONS

Local recording keeps footage on the device in your hand. Cloud recording keeps a copy offsite, so your video survives a lost, damaged or offline camera and can be watched from anywhere. Cloud plans add continuous recording, longer retention, higher resolution, more cameras and cloud playback. Add cloud recording only when you need it; live viewing and the included recording allowance are not taken away.
