All features explained

Video quality (5 levels)

Where: Stream settings (gear button on the video) › Quality

What it does: Lower quality = less data, less heat, more stable on weak Wi-Fi. Higher = sharper picture.

Camera grid (2×2)

Where: Monitor mode, below the live video (from 2 saved cameras)

What it does: All cameras at a glance; a tile flashes red when that camera saw motion. Tap a tile to make it live.

Fullscreen, zoom & gestures

Where: On the video: fullscreen button, zoom buttons on the right side

What it does: Double-tap = fullscreen, pinch with two fingers = zoom. The zoom is baked into recordings and snapshots.

Night vision & autofocus

Where: Stream settings › Night / AF

What it does: Night mode brightens a dark picture and can switch on automatically by ambient light. AF keeps the picture sharp.

Date/time overlay

Where: Stream settings › Timestamp

What it does: Shows date and time in the picture and burns it into every recording and photo — useful as evidence.

Motion detection with filter

Where: Stream settings › Motion / Auto-Rec

What it does: Choose whether people, animals or vehicles should trigger. Recording starts and stops by itself.

Motion zone

Where: Camera mode: zone button on the video

What it does: Drag a rectangle over the picture — only movement inside it triggers. Stops false alarms from trees, TV or the street.

Schedule (time window)

Where: Stream settings › Schedule

What it does: Camera only arms between e.g. 22:00 and 06:00. Outside that window it stays live but never alerts or records.

3-second motion clips

Where: Gallery / event list

What it does: Each motion event stores a short clip instead of just a still — you instantly see what moved.

Timelapse of the day

Where: Gallery › Timelapse

What it does: Turns the day's motion snapshots into one short video. Start/stop and download it as a file.

Recording history & gallery

Where: Settings › REC history, Gallery on both devices

What it does: Start time, duration and trigger of every recording — searchable offline. The monitor loads camera recordings automatically.

Two-way audio: intercom or push-to-talk

Where: Mic button on the video, mode switch in stream settings › Intercom

What it does: Always-on intercom for continuous talking, or push-to-talk (hold to speak) — the latter saves battery.

Alarm siren (5 tones)

Where: Siren button on the video — also remotely from the monitor

What it does: Plays a loud tone on the camera phone to scare off intruders. Choose and preview the tone in the stream settings.

Push notifications & e-mail alerts

Where: Settings › Notifications

What it does: Get a notification (with vibration) for every motion event, plus an optional e-mail. Test button included.

Offline alarm / watchdog

Where: Monitor mode › status pills above the video

What it does: The monitor warns when the camera has been silent for X minutes (power cut, Wi-Fi loss).

Chat between the devices

Where: Chat button in monitor and camera mode

What it does: Written messages sync on both phones; deleting is synced too.

Adaptive eco mode

Where: Settings › Energy / Eco thresholds

What it does: Automatically lowers frame rate and quality when the battery is low or the phone gets warm — no feature is switched off.

Screen dim timer (1–20 min)

Where: Stream settings › Dim

What it does: After X minutes the screen goes black but the camera keeps filming — saves power and looks switched off.

Background mode & keep awake

Where: Stream settings › Background

What it does: Keeps the stream alive when the screen would normally lock. Best combined with a charger.

Camera status strip

Where: Monitor mode, under the video

What it does: Shows the camera phone's battery, charging state, eco tier and network (Wi-Fi/mobile) from a distance.

PIN lock

Where: Stream settings › Lock

What it does: Locks the camera screen so nobody can stop the stream without the PIN.

Duress PIN (silent alarm)

Where: Settings › Security / Duress PIN

What it does: Entering the duress PIN appears to unlock normally but silently starts recording and alerts the monitor.

Encrypted cloud backup

Where: Settings › Cloud backup

What it does: Optional: uploads recordings encrypted with your passphrase, so evidence survives even if the phone is taken.

Geofencing

Where: Settings › Geofence (monitor phone)

What it does: Arms the camera automatically as soon as you leave home with the monitor phone, disarms when you return.

Pairing with a 6-digit code

Where: Camera mode: code block on top and in Settings › Code. Monitor: 'Add camera'.

What it does: Type the camera's code on the monitor phone once — it is saved and reconnects automatically next time.

Multi-device management with aliases

Where: Monitor mode › Settings › Devices

What it does: Save several cameras, rename them ('Front door', 'Garage') and delete old ones. Tap a name to switch the live stream.

Voice commands

Where: Settings › Voice (camera phone)

What it does: Say 'record', 'stop recording', 'photo', 'alarm' or 'light' — works in English, German and Albanian.

Flashlight / torch

Where: Light button on the video (both modes)

What it does: Switches the camera phone's LED on — also remotely from the monitor, e.g. to light a dark hallway.

Remote wake & remote settings

Where: Monitor mode: 'Wake camera' plus the remote settings section

What it does: Every stream setting can be changed from the monitor; both devices mirror each other instantly.

Backup & restore of the configuration

Where: Settings › Backup

What it does: Export all roles, devices and settings as a file and import them on a new phone.

Language & appearance

Where: Settings › Language / Appearance

What it does: English, German and Albanian, or automatic detection. Appearance controls the neon theme and animations.

Offline queue & sync status

Where: Settings › Sync

What it does: Events recorded without a connection are stored locally and uploaded later — status: waiting, uploaded, failed.

Home-screen shortcuts

Where: Long-press the installed app icon

What it does: Jump straight into camera or monitor mode without picking the role again.
