Android IP Camera is an open-source Android application that turns a smartphone into a network-connected surveillance camera. It streams H.264 and MJPEG video through a built-in server accessible from browsers and compatible monitoring software. Optional RTSP streaming provides H.264 video and AAC audio for network video recorders. ONVIF support enables camera discovery, snapshots, and motion events. A remote web interface controls resolution, zoom, exposure, contrast, recording, and flashlight settings. Users can switch between front and rear cameras and adjust frame rates to manage device temperatures. Username authentication and automatic TLS certificates help secure connections. Background operation, screen-off streaming, and automatic startup support continuous monitoring.
