Security Camera: Watchful Cam
Watchful uses an existing Apple device as a camera with recording, remote viewing and optional motion alerts.
Choose it for a private device-and-iCloud setup you can configure yourself.
Snapshots, time-lapse and retention controls help review what the camera recorded.
Keep in mind: It is not a certified emergency or infant-safety monitor, and remote availability depends on power, storage and connectivity.
