How to Turn Any Old Phone into a Free Security Camera

Don’t let your old smartphone gather dust in a drawer. Transform it into a 24/7 private, end-to-end encrypted home security camera or baby monitor in under 30 seconds.

1. No Apps to Install

Runs directly inside Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. You can also install the 2MB lightweight PWA or standalone Android APK.

2. Zero Cloud Video Storage

Unlike Amazon Ring or Alfred Camera, no live footage or audio is ever uploaded to a central server. Direct P2P WebRTC hardware encryption.

3. 24/7 OLED Stealth Mode

True-black screen sleep mode keeps camera hardware streaming while preventing screen burn-in and reducing battery temperature.

3-Step Setup Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place your old phone on a stand or window sill and plug it into a charger. Open peekem.com and tap Camera Mode.
  2. Step 2: On your daily phone or computer, open peekem.com and tap Viewer Mode.
  3. Step 3: Point your viewer at the camera screen to scan the QR code. Your private live security stream starts immediately!
