tinyCam Monitor is a web camera (webcam) application specially developed for Android devices (including wearable smart devices, such as any smartwatch running the Android Wear operating system - called Wear OS now). We can utilize it to remotely and securely monitor baby, pet, household, store, traffic, weather, security, and so on.

tinyCam Monitor allows users to conduct remote surveillance, remote control and digital video recording for your private or public network/IP cameras, video encoders, DVRs, and webcams on their phones. It supports all kinds of cameras, allows to add your own webcam URL, supports recording, enlarging by click, remote control of camera direction, cycle shooting and other operations. Furthermore, using it with IP Webcam, just two smartphones are enough to form a simple monitoring network.

If you happen to have an IP camera surveillance system in your home, and you're an Android user, then you can perform remote monitoring and controlling by transferring the camera images to the screen of your smart phone or smart watch via tinyCam Monitor. Even if we don't have our own IP camera, we can still view the real-time images from many public webcams around the world on our Android devices anywhere. For example, we can take a look at some public places such as restaurants or cafes, enjoy the sights and scenery around the world, as well as the local customs and practices in many regions.
