PRE-REQUISITES (TECHNICAL)
Camera device must be behind a regular Wi-Fi network
To set up port forwarding, your internet gateway must be publicly reachable and have IGD enabled. Again, RECAM doesn’t use centralized backend services—it’s edge computing—so you’ll need a compatible ISP
Both devices must be on iOS 16.3 or higher (please check the system version of your devices and update them if needed). Apple list all compatible devices iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 here.
CAST MODE CHECKLIST
This step is essential for WAN access to work properly.
Once these settings are correctly configured, RECAM will attempt to automatically establish the network routes between your streamer device and the first player.
- Access the web configuration interface of your Internet box or router.
- 👉 Enable UPnP IGD Port Mapping on your router or Internet gateway.
- 👉 Request a fixed (static) IP address from your internet service provider (ISP), and make sure it’s assigned specifically to your router.
DATA STORAGE
- All live video streams in RECAM are strictly peer-to-peer and encrypted using the Secure Reliable Transport protocol. No live video passes through or is stored on RECAM servers.
- Video clips are only created when an event is detected (e.g., motion, AI-based trigger) and are always stored locally on your spare iPhone.
- If you turn on the iCloud history feature, clips are saved to your own private iCloud — end-to-end encrypted, only the people you have paired can access them. We never see them.
- RECAM servers do not access, view, or store any private content such as video, audio, or user recordings.
- The only data stored by RECAM servers is limited to operational metadata necessary to enable core app functions (e.g., device association, user labels).
