As title. thanks
We use Frigate with an Amcrest wifi camera. You need something relatively robust to run it on, although I think some people use a Raspberry Pi or similar. I went ahead and got a Google Coral device for the object detection.
This is pretty overkill for what you want, but Frigate is great. No need for an app, just use it through a browser.
Or are you looking for something to turn an old phone into a video camera?
yes I want to use a phone as webcam audio video device without a simcard
Any video stream receiver? Or do you want to use the phone as the camera and server?
I want to use a phone to do it (maybe over same WiFi so without a Sim card)
Then maybe add that to the post :)

If you find one that is a good fit, please let us know people searching for a similar solution in the future might want to see your follow up experience.
Yes please do! I was looking at Philips, Vaya etc. but I don’t feel comfortable live streaming my baby to some companies server. I’m hoping to find a solution that lights up if it detects sound (like starts flashing like Vaya).
