Camy — Live Video CCTV

What Camy does

Camy — Live Video CCTV turns an unused Android phone or tablet into a remote camera and lets another device view its live feed. It is suited to people who need a simple way to watch a room, entryway, child’s space, pet area or other part of a home without buying a separate camera first. The app is listed in House & Home and is developed by Prometheus Interactive LLC.

Useful monitoring controls

The camera device can use its front or rear lens, while the viewing device can access options such as zoom and the remote flashlight. Two-way audio supports speaking through the camera phone, which can be useful for checking in on someone or responding to activity without being in the same room.

Alerts and viewing options

Camy includes motion detection with notifications, so the viewer can be alerted when movement is detected rather than keeping the live screen open constantly. The app also supports picture-in-picture viewing for monitoring while using other apps. Reference material lists access through Android TV and a web interface alongside mobile viewing, giving users more than one way to check the feed.

Camy is therefore aimed at households that already have spare Android hardware and want software-based video monitoring, remote controls and two-way communication in one app. Its usefulness depends on having a second device available for the camera or viewer role, but that setup makes it flexible for temporary or room-by-room monitoring.
