Snitchy uses two phones. Your main phone runs the Dashboard. An old phone becomes the Camera. Here is how to set them up.
See the 4 stepsAbout 10 minutes. No special hardware.
Get Snitchy from the Google Play Store and create a free account. This is the app you watch your camera from.
Get it on Google PlayiOS version coming soon.
Open snitchy.net in the browser on your old phone and tap the button below. Install it when the download finishes. Android may ask you to allow installs from your browser, that is normal.
Download Camera appOpen the Dashboard on your main phone and tap Add Camera. It shows a 6-character code. Type that code into the Camera app on your old phone and tap Activate. The two phones are now linked.
Stand your old phone on a steady mount, plug it into a charger, and pick a capture interval in the app. Walk away. Check in any time from your main phone.
Install the Dashboard first, then download the Camera app on your old phone.
Download Camera appThe Camera app is a direct download, not on the Play Store. Google Play does not allow apps that run the camera continuously on an unattended phone, so we host it here. It is signed by the same developer as the Dashboard app.
