How to use P2P HomeCam Web Viewer

Follow these steps once on the Android camera phone, then watch from any supported browser.

What you need

  • One Android phone or tablet for the camera
  • An internet connection
  • A PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad or supported browser for viewing

Web Viewer does not require a second Android phone.

The camera phone must remain online.

The signaling server helps the devices find each other. Direct P2P is preferred; an encrypted TURN relay may be used when direct connection is unavailable. Video is not stored on our servers.
