Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Home Cam - the ultimate hidden camera app for iPhone
Is Home Cam really private and secure?
Absolutely! Home Cam operates entirely offline on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your data. All recordings are encrypted with military-grade AES-256 encryption and stored locally on your iPhone.
Can I view the recordings on my other devices?
Yes! You can enable 'Save to Photos' in the app settings. This will save the recordings to your Photos library, and you can view them on your other devices via iCloud Photos.
Do I need an internet connection to use Home Cam?
No! Home Cam works completely offline. You can record, store, and view all your footage without any internet connection. This ensures maximum privacy and security for your recordings.
Can I prevent other people from seeing my recordings?
Yes! You can enable 'Biometric Authentication' in the app settings. This will prevent other people from seeing the recordings using Face ID or Touch ID.
What video quality can I record in?
Home Cam supports multiple recording qualities including 480p, 720p, 1080p, and up to 4K at 60fps. You can choose the quality that best fits your storage needs and device capabilities.
How does the motion detection work?
Our adaptive motion sensor technology automatically detects movement and starts recording only when something happens. This saves battery life and storage space while ensuring you capture every important moment.
Can I use Home Cam as a pet camera?
Yes! Home Cam is perfect for pet monitoring. Simply set up your iPhone in the area you want to monitor, and the motion detection will automatically record when your pets are active. Review the clips anytime to see what your furry friends have been up to.
How long can Home Cam record continuously?
Maximum recording time for a single clip is 2 minutes. You can record multiple clips in a row, but each clip will be 2 minutes long.
Is it legal to use Home Cam for surveillance?
Home Cam is designed for legal surveillance purposes. However, you must ensure compliance with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Legal uses include:
- Personal home security
- Pet monitoring
- Property surveillance (with proper authorization)
- Child safety monitoring by parents/guardians
Always check local laws and obtain necessary consent before recording. See our Legal Disclaimer for more information.
Can I backup my recordings to iCloud?
Yes. If you choose to save your recordings to Photos, you can view them on your other devices via iCloud Photos.
Does Home Cam work in discreet mode?
Yes! Home Cam includes Face ID/Touch ID lock protection and offers discreet recording modes. You can record with a black screen or use our upcoming fake-calculator interface for subtle surveillance.
What iPhone models are supported?
Home Cam works on all modern iPhone models running iOS 15 or later. For the best 4K recording experience, we recommend iPhone X or newer, but the app is optimized to work great on older devices too like the iPhone SE 2018.
How do I delete recordings?
You have complete control over your recordings. You can delete individual clips or all recordings directly through the app interface. Since everything is stored locally on your device, you maintain full control over your data.
