NEWBLET CCTV
Use your phone as mobile CCTV and watch it remotely
Newblet CCTV lets you use a smartphone, old phone, or spare phone as a live camera and watch it remotely in the browser. It supports password-protected rooms, link sharing, and low-latency P2P streaming.
Why Newblet CCTV works well when you want to use a phone as a live camera
Instead of setting up a full surveillance system, you can place a phone where you need it, start a secure room, and open the live feed from another device. Old phones and spare phones work well for this, and the stream prefers direct P2P delivery when possible.
Why teams choose it
Fast to launch, simple to share, easy to monitor
If you need to turn a phone into a temporary camera quickly, Newblet CCTV keeps setup simple and lets viewers open the stream in any browser.
Open the live feed from a link
Open the shared link in a browser and watch the live camera remotely without installing another app.
Direct connection when possible
Connections try direct peer-to-peer delivery first for lower latency and better efficiency.
Watch multiple channels at once
View up to four live camera channels in one screen and focus on one feed when needed.
Share with password protection
Each room is protected with a password to make temporary CCTV sharing safer.
Live transmission without default recording
The service is designed for live transmission and does not store streaming packets on the server.

- When you need to look in on a shop or pop-up store while away
- When you need to check equipment or field work during travel
- When you want to watch several camera angles in one browser view
