About LensCast

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.

Release info Update on Nov 06, 2026
Release notes Since 0.1.9:
• Automation: new if/then rules engine — up to 16 rules, each running up to 8 actions (camera settings, torch, stream, recording, siren, detection toggles) without touching the phone
• Automation: event triggers and ONLY WHEN conditions — rules fire on motion, sound, tamper, power and streaming edges, gated by conditions like charging, Wi-Fi, a time window or streaming active, combinable ALL/ANY
• Automation: time-of-day rules gain boot catch-up, fire history, per-rule cooldowns, and a per-rule missed-run policy (catch up, skip, or fire within a window after the scheduled moment)
• Automation: redesigned automation screen — structured rule cards with WHEN / ONLY WHEN / THEN summaries, a fuller editor with grouped pickers, reorderable conditions and actions, live rule preview, a discard guard and a rotation-proof draft
• Background: new Keep Awake setting (on by default) holds a wake lock while the app runs, so a mounted security phone keeps firing rules after the screen locks — quitting the app releases it
• Streaming fix: the session wake lock is now renewed during long streams, so a locked phone no longer goes dark after the first streaming hour
• Under the hood: nine modules refactored behind seams (push transports, web transport, detection alert sinks, settings credentials, camera policies) with no user-visible behavior change
