What the tCam app does.
Your cameras, your alerts, your footage. One free app.
Motion alerts
Push notifications, anywhere
Motion detection with three sensitivity levels, scheduled watch windows, and a push notification the moment movement is detected.
Live view
From anywhere, in HD
Open the live feed in HD from any internet connection, whether you are at work or across the country.
Multi camera
Every camera in one app
Every camera appears on the My Device screen, and multi-view puts four live feeds side by side.
Local recording
To a Micro SD card
Footage records to the Micro SD card inside the camera, internet or not. Snapshots and clips you take save to your phone.
Motion alerts
Motion-activated alerts
Be alerted while you're away. When a camera detects motion, it sends a push notification to your phone and can record a clip of the event to its SD card.
Live view
Look in live, from anywhere
Once the camera is on your home WiFi, opening the app shows you the room in real time, whether you are at work or across the country. A quality control sits right on the live screen, and the Snap and Record buttons capture the moment straight to your phone.
Multi camera
All of your cameras in one app
Add as many cameras as you need, name each one for its room, and see up to four live feeds on one screen.
Your whole home
Monitor all your spaces from one app
Put a camera in each space that matters to you. They all live in the same app, so checking the whole house is one screen, not five.

Recording & storage
Recording works without the internet
Footage saves to a Micro SD card inside the camera. The internet is only needed to watch live and receive alerts; if your connection drops, recording continues. Browse everything on the card from the app, wherever you are.

Common questions
Is there a subscription or monthly fee?
No. The app is free, the alerts are free, and your footage saves to a card you already own. An optional paid cloud backup exists inside the app, but nothing about the cameras requires it.
Does it need the internet to record?
No. Footage records to the Micro SD card inside the camera whether your internet is up or not. The connection is only needed for live viewing and motion alerts on your phone.
How many cameras can I add?
Add as many as you like. Each camera is a card on the My Device screen, and multi-view shows several rooms on one screen at the same time.
Where does my footage live?
Automatic recordings live on the SD card inside the camera, browsable from anywhere in SD Files. Snaps and clips you take while watching live save to the app on your phone, ready to share.
Does it work on my phone?
tCam is free on iPhone via the App Store and on Android via Google Play.
