FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the camera phone overheat or drain the battery quickly? +

No. In Armed Standby, the camera hardware remains off until a Viewer connects or motion detection is active. In Camera Mode, our OLED Black-Screen Dimmer turns pixels completely black (#000000) and releases encoders immediately when streaming stops.

Can anyone else see my live video stream? +

Never. Live video and audio are encrypted end-to-end using WebRTC DTLS-SRTP directly between your authenticated devices. Our signaling server only routes connection handshakes inside your isolated account room.

Do I need to install an app to view my cameras? +

No installation is required for viewing or broadcasting! You can use any desktop or mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) at /app, or install our Android app for background wake-up and TFLite AI.

How does cross-platform Pro subscription work? +

Your subscription is tied to your Google account via RevenueCat and Lemon Squeezy. Upgrading on the Web immediately unlocks Pro features on your Android and iOS devices.
