Personal CCTV for Home: Private, Encrypted, AI-Smart Video Monitoring

RECAM is a remote video monitoring application. It streams encrypted live video from one phone to another — iPhone or Android — using the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol — ideal for real-time monitoring of your home, apartment, pool, parking lot, or garden.

Encrypted SRT Streaming & On-Device AI

Private by design. RECAM streams live video from one phone to another, end-to-end encrypted with Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) — direct device-to-device when your network allows, and when it can’t, a blind relay forwards the encrypted stream without ever being able to read it.

  • Human & animal detection: Instantly spot people and pets with on-device computer vision.
  • Facial coverage detection: Detects facial coverage (e.g., covered mouth/nose) in frame.
  • Sound analysis: From baby crying to glass breaking, 300+ patterns processed locally.

With one of the most advanced AI engines that runs on a phone, RECAM notifies you instantly about security breaches and meaningful events — without sending your video to the cloud. See the full picture at private CCTV for iPhone and Android.

Simple, Affordable Pricing

The free core (no account, encrypted P2P streaming, on-device detection) costs nothing. RECAM Pro adds an optional 7-day clip history saved to your own iCloud for €1.99/month — no cloud video storage, privacy by default.

FAQ

Can I use RECAM across different networks?

Yes — on Wi-Fi or cellular, on any router, with no setup. RECAM streams over Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) with end-to-end encryption, connecting your devices directly when the network allows; otherwise an encrypted blind relay forwards the stream without ever being able to read it. UPnP or port forwarding is optional, only to favor a fully-direct path.

Does RECAM require an account or cloud storage?

No. No account required, and RECAM keeps no cloud video storage. Live streams are end-to-end encrypted — direct when your network allows, with a blind relay fallback that can never read them; optional clips are saved to your personal iCloud.

What can the AI detect?

On-device AI detects people and animals, face coverage (for example a covered mouth or nose), and over 300 sound patterns such as glass breaking, sirens, alarms, and footsteps.

Which areas can I monitor?

Typical setups cover a home or apartment, a pool area, a parking spot, a garden, and garage or building entrances. Always follow local laws and get consent where it’s required.
