Three Primary Use Cases
👶 Baby & Nursery Monitoring
MobiCam was purpose-built for parents monitoring sleeping infants. The cry detection algorithm sends alerts the moment your baby starts crying, while two-way audio lets you speak soothing words without entering the room. Night vision means you can check without turning on the lights.
🏠 Home Security
Place cameras at entryways, driveways, or common areas to monitor your home 24/7. Motion detection alerts notify you instantly of any movement. With up to 16 cameras on one account, you can cover every corner of your property from a single app dashboard.
🐕 Pet Monitoring
Watch your dog or cat while you're at work. The PTZ pan/tilt control lets you follow your pet around the room, and two-way audio lets you talk to them to reduce separation anxiety.
Storage Options
MobiCam gives you two storage approaches:
- Local Storage (Free): Insert a microSD card (up to 32GB) into your MOBI camera for free, continuous recording directly to the card. The camera auto-overwrites the oldest footage when the card is full — no subscription required.
- Cloud Storage (Optional): Subscribe to cloud backup for motion-triggered video clips stored securely off-site. Accessible from anywhere, cloud storage protects your footage even if the camera is damaged or stolen.
Security & Privacy
MOBI takes data privacy seriously:
- All video streams use bank-level encryption
- No mandatory cloud subscription — local-only storage keeps footage on your premises
- Only authorized users can access your cameras
- Local SD card recording continues even when internet goes down
