Swiftcam documentation¶
Live home-camera viewing, without the lag¶
Swiftcam is a fast, privacy-focused iOS app for self-hosted camera systems.
Connect Swiftcam to Frigate NVR, go2rtc, MediaMTX, another WHEP-compatible server, or a direct JPEG/HTTP snapshot source, then get to your live feeds with minimal delay.
Built for self-hosters and technically versatile users, Swiftcam offers flexible connection options because you know your own network best. Configure local, remote, VPN, or other reachable endpoints for each service, then switch them together with connection sets when you leave home or return.
Fast by design¶
Open the camera grid quickly, jump into a stream in one tap, and see what is happening close to real time. Swiftcam was built for the everyday checks around the house—especially the dog cam and crib cam—without waiting through loading indicators or buffering. Picture in Picture keeps a stream playing while you use other apps, so you can stay aware without staying in Swiftcam.
Private by design¶
Swiftcam has no tracking, no analytics, and no cloud relay for camera traffic. It connects directly to the servers you configure; see the privacy policy for details.
Make every feed usable¶
View transforms help with unusually sized, rotated, mirrored, or imperfectly framed streams.
What you need¶
Swiftcam requires an existing self-hosted Frigate NVR, go2rtc, MediaMTX, direct JPEG/HTTP snapshot source, or compatible WHEP server installation.
