Hi all — I'm the developer of a small app that turns a spare phone into a standalone network camera (no cloud, LAN
only). Sharing here because this crowd will find the rough edges fast.
What it exposes:
- RTSP H.264 and H.265 — default port 8554
- ONVIF (Profile S) + discovery — port 8080
- /snapshot.jpg and MJPEG over HTTP
- Digest auth on RTSP/ONVIF
In Blue Iris: add as ONVIF (autodetect), or Generic/RTSP with rtsp:/user: pass@<phone-ip>:8554/... If you hit a
connection error, it's usually the ONVIF port (8080) vs RTSP port (8554) mix-up or auth — happy to help debug in
this thread.
Runs on iOS and Android, works with any old phone. Free to use for streaming; on-device motion/object/tamper
detection with ONVIF event triggers is in beta and free for testers right now.
Looking for real-world feedback — camera models, BI quirks, reliability over days. getguardianeye.com — I'll be
around to answer setup questions.
