Description
Turn a spare Android phone into a self-hosted security camera. On your home Wi-Fi it works out of the box; add Pro, open https://relay.oldbird.app/ in any browser, and sign in with the same Google account — no port forwarding or VPN setup.
WHY OLD BIRD • Your hardware, your storage, your network. The camera runs on a phone you own. • Lazy mode: camera and microphone activate only while viewing, recording, motion detection, or an enabled integration needs them. • Open formats: MJPEG, raw PCM, WebRTC, plus opt-in LAN-only RTSP and ONVIF beta integrations. Works with VLC, Frigate, Scrypted, ffmpeg, ONVIF clients, or a web browser.
FREE • MJPEG video from 640x480 to 1920x1080, with configurable JPEG quality • Raw PCM audio (16 kHz mono) and AAC over opt-in LAN-only RTSP • Battery, temperature, and charging status • Motion detection with webhook alerts (ntfy, Slack, Discord, Telegram, or custom) • On-device MP4 recording with ring-buffer rotation • WebDAV upload of motion segments to your NAS or self-hosted server • Opt-in ONVIF Profile S and RTSP beta support for trusted-LAN NVR clients • HTTP Basic Auth with a per-device password • Auto-start on boot with an always-visible foreground notification
PRO (MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION) • Off-LAN admin: open https://relay.oldbird.app/ and sign in with Google • Low-latency WebRTC video outside your LAN • Google Drive backup of motion segments
OFF-LAN ARCHITECTURE The relay authenticates both the account owner and camera. It forwards WebRTC signaling and remote admin requests and responses between your browser and phone. Live media travels peer-to-peer when possible and may pass through our TURN relay when required. Relay traffic is processed in memory and is not recorded or stored.
PRIVACY • Camera and microphone content stays on your LAN unless you deliberately use remote viewing, download it, or upload a recording. • Crash reports and anonymous usage events go to Firebase to improve the app — never video, audio, passwords, webhook URLs, or viewer settings. • While you are signed in with Pro, Firestore stores only the camera name, current relay URL, and last-seen time. • Full policy: https://oldbird.app/privacy.html
REQUIREMENTS • Android 8.0 or newer, a camera, and Wi-Fi • Microphone is optional and used only for audio features • Google account for Pro features
DIY ALTERNATIVE Free plus your own VPN and NAS can provide remote access and backup without a subscription. Pro buys convenience: one Google sign-in, no VPN setup, and optional Google Drive backup.
