On-Device IP Security Camera
An app that turns a decade-old Android phone into a full network camera, with no permanent system modification.
A real-time video pipeline on constrained hardware and an old API, without leaning on external libraries. Camera capture, hardware-encoder compression, an authenticated live stream viewable from a browser, motion detection with event-triggered recording, and auto-start on boot. Recording and streaming are produced from the same frame source, with the recording path built on a hardware encoder and muxer.
