Turn your Android phone into an intelligent CCTV camera

In just three simple steps, use a spare Android phone as an intelligent camera, get real-time alerts and record to the cloud.

01

Install on two phones

Install VisionLinks on your spare Android phone and your current Android phone. Sign in to both with the same account.

02

Register the camera phone

Open CCTV mode on the spare phone, register its front or back camera, and start streaming.

Watch, alert and record

Open the live view on your current phone. Enable AI alerts and automatic cloud recording for Away alarms in settings.

YOUR CAMERAS. YOUR CONTROL.

Three ways to make security smarter.

Use the phone you have, bring your cameras together, and take your live view with you.

01 / PHONE AS CCTV

A spare phone becomes your camera

Choose a resolution and frame rate supported by your phone, up to Full HD. Turn on AI detection and alerts when you want to be notified about activity.
