Home Camera - OffgridCam
Private Baby Monitor. Pay Once
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn two iPhones into a private home or baby camera. Direct over WiFi — no account, no server, no subscription. Now in more languages.
Your camera. Your devices. Your privacy.
OffgridCam turns two iPhones into a home camera system — one becomes the Camera, the other becomes the Viewer. Live video and audio stream directly between them over your home WiFi. No server, no account, no company sitting between your camera and your phone.
WHAT’S FREE
Live viewing is free, always — video, audio, pinch-to-zoom control, and two-way talk (up to 4 people). Pair with a QR code and start watching in seconds. Try it before you buy anything.
WHAT UNLOCKS WITH A ONE-TIME PURCHASE
• Local recording — continuous or triggered by motion/sound, stored only on your Camera device
• Motion and sound detection — tuned to catch what matters (including crying) without false alarms from lighting changes
• Away-from-home alerts — get notified even off your home WiFi, using an 8-character code you control and can reset anytime
No subscription. No monthly fees. Buy once.
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
Most camera apps ask for an account before they’ll even show you your own living room, then charge you monthly to keep watching. OffgridCam doesn’t. Live viewing never touches the internet. The only feature that does — away-from-home alerts — is opt-in, off by default, and uses Apple’s own iCloud infrastructure rather than a server we operate. We don’t operate servers that store or process your camera footage.
Perfect for:
• A baby monitor using a spare iPhone
• Keeping an eye on a pet while you’re out
• A simple home security camera without hardware to buy or a subscription to remember
Requires two iPhones on the same WiFi network for live viewing. Away-from-home alerts require an iCloud account and an internet connection on the Viewer device.
