22,964 tonnes of smartphones not recycled in 2020. It is partly to contribute to this global phenomenon that the startup Cawice saw the light of day in 2018. In a circular economy approach, we wanted to give a second life to the old devices that are sleeping in our drawers. To do so, we have developed the Cawice application which allows everyone to turn easily their old phones into a real home security camera or baby monitor.

500,000 downloads and thousands of user feedbacks later, Cawice app gets a facelift and comes back four years later in a new version to satisfy an increasingly large audience that is still concerned about the environmental impact that represents our smartphones on the planet.

Since 2018.

Turn old phone into security camera, babycam, baby monitor

Unlike traditional video surveillance systems where the video stream from your camera passes through a company's server before you can watch it, Cawice uses the Peer 2 Peer connection which consists of transmitting the video stream directly from your security camera phone to your device without going through a server. There is therefore no intermediary who can have access to the stream of your security camera.

What is Peer 2 Peer ?

Manual photo and video captured when you're watching live your security camera are store locally on your device. As for the video recordings captured automatically following detections, these are stored in your Google Drive Cloud account. Again, you are the only person who has access to them.

Where are store my recordings ?

With Peer 2 Peer technology, you are the only one who can watch the video stream from your phone security camera. It's 100% private !

Your privacy first.
