CamON Live Streaming turns an old Android smartphone or tablet into a wireless IP camera for streaming video and audio. This can help users reuse existing hardware instead of buying a separate camera, while still supporting connections over Wi-Fi or mobile data. The app can handle multiple cameras, different streaming formats and protocols, and connections to online services. Its combination of motion detection, low-light image adjustments, cloud integration, and ONVIF support makes it suitable for assembling a flexible monitoring or live-streaming setup from Android devices.

Use existing devices as cameras

The app is designed around repurposing unused Android hardware. A phone or tablet can serve as a camera source, and multiple devices can be used in different areas. This arrangement is useful when coverage is needed in more than one location, since each Android device can contribute its own video stream rather than requiring a single camera position.

Flexible network and streaming connections

CamON Live Streaming supports both Wi-Fi and mobile data, allowing the available connection to determine how a camera reaches its viewers or other software. It can stream through different formats and protocols to multiple types of clients and online services. This gives the setup more flexibility than relying on one connection method or one destination.

Cloud sharing and camera management

Integration with angelcam and Mangocam helps simplify network configuration and provides a way to share live streams online. These services work alongside the camera streaming functions, so users can connect their Android-based cameras to supported cloud destinations without treating web sharing as a separate camera system.

Motion detection and home automation

The built-in motion-detection algorithm can be connected with home-automation systems. Users can enable detection for movement within the camera's view and use the resulting alerts as part of an alarm arrangement. This makes the app useful not only for viewing a stream, but also for responding to activity in a monitored area.

Image and recorder compatibility

The app automatically adjusts image settings for low-light conditions to help maintain usable video when lighting is limited. It also supports ONVIF, allowing integration with leading NVR software. Together, these functions provide options for improving the camera image and connecting the stream to compatible recording software.
