  2. Set up the matching app or a browser on the device you will use to view it
  3. Fix the camera phone in place where you want to watch, kept plugged in and on Wi-Fi
  4. Leave the app running in "camera mode"
  5. Open the viewer app or browser on the other device to check the video

03Recommended Apps

Viewing from outside usually requires linking an internet account between the two devices.

If the camera will show people, please be mindful of their privacy.
