Show HN: Home Cam – turn an old iPhone into an offline hidden security camera

https://www.hiddencameraapp.com/
3•chrisBHappy•5h ago
I built Home Cam because I needed a security camera I could trust. Every app I tried either streamed to someone’s server or buried analytics in the code.

What it does: • Turns any iPhone (iOS 15+) into a motion-activated camera • Records locally up to 4K 60 fps, stores clips in an AES-256 vault • Works fully offline by default so nothing leaves the device unless you enable iCloud Photos • Discreet modes: fake calculator screen or pure black (coming soon) • Battery Saver dims screen and throttles sensors for longer sessions

Why it might interest you: • No signup, no ads, no trackers. Privacy is the core feature. • Built entirely in Swift/SwiftUI. • I’m a solo indie dev & feedback from HN has shaped many of my past projects.
