Three steps to your first live stream

01

Install the app on both phones

Download Open-Camera on the phone you want to use as a camera and on the phone you'll watch on. Both need the same app — it works in both modes.

02

Scan the QR code or enter the device ID

On the camera phone, tap "Server" and show the QR code. On the viewer phone, tap "Add Device" and scan it. The owner of the camera approves the connection once.

03

Watch live from anywhere

Once approved, you can connect at any time — same Wi-Fi, different city, anywhere with internet. The camera triggers on motion or audio so you never miss a moment.
