Hiya tim,

I tried this with a Samsung Galaxy S5. I was hoping to use it as a door camera. Unfortunately it got very hot and then regularly rebooted itself. Reducing resolution helped a bit, so I concluded that the camera simply wasn't designed to be used 24/7. Clearly may not be the same for a different phone, but I do suggest some experimentation before spending any £$£$ on it.

In the past, I've used DroidCam. There are a lot of other similar apps.

Turn Android phone into security camera ?

2022-03-26T08:52:48+00:00

Hello,
I have two Pixel3 phones running Android LineageOS.
Is there a known Android app i can install, to turn them into a security camera that i can use with BlueIris ?
My plan was to use them as indoor security camera's and use BlueIris to connect to them using WiFi and http h264 or rtp for example.
Are there any know solutions or opensource projects for this ?

Thanks for sharing you thoughts on this.
