LensCast

about

description

LensCast turns your Android device into a networked camera station with professional controls, remote web access, interval photography, and scheduled recording. Camera • Live preview with a professional quick settings bar • Manual controls: exposure compensation, ISO, white balance, focus mode, zoom • Multi-lens support (ultra-wide, wide, telephoto) with runtime lens switching • HDR, image stabilization, resolution up to 4K, frame rate 15–60 fps • Photo capture and video recording • Night vision / IR mode, scene modes, manual focus distance, color temperature Live streaming • Real-time MJPEG video streaming to any web browser on the same network • Low-latency in-browser playback (WebCodecs over WebSocket) with automatic fallback to MJPEG and HLS • RTSP streaming with AAC audio and H.264/H.265 video at 480p/720p/1080p for VLC, OBS, and NVRs • ONVIF Profile S device service (off by default) so NVRs such as Home Assistant can discover the camera • HTTPS mode with a self-signed on-device certificate Web dashboard • Watch the live stream, browse and download photos and recordings • Full remote control of camera and stream settings • Optional password authentication Automation • Object detection gate (optional): the open-source EfficientDet-Lite0 model — Apache-2.0, downloaded on demand with a pinned SHA-256 from TensorFlow's official hosting — triggers MQTT alerts or recording when configured objects appear • Sound-event gate (optional): the open-source YAMNet model — Apache-2.0, also downloaded on demand with a pinned SHA-256 — triggers alerts or recording when configured sounds are detected • Interval photography and scheduled or continuous recording • Quiet hours for notifications Optional network services (all off by default; each runs only when you enable and configure it) • Telegram backup: auto-uploads new captures to the Telegram chat you choose (api.telegram.org) • Web Push notifications: delivers encrypted detection alerts through your browser vendor's push service (such as Google's FCM or Mozilla's autopush) • Model downloads: the optional detection models above are fetched on demand from TensorFlow's official hosting on Google Cloud storage • STUN server for WebRTC streaming (WHIP push / WHEP viewing): blank by default, so streaming stays on your local network without contacting any third-party server No ads, no tracking, no cloud defaults. All processing stays on your device; the web dashboard is served by a built-in HTTP server on your local network. Note: the F-Droid build ships without the in-app self-updater; updates come from F-Droid.
