Install Kipsee on two phones
An old phone stays at home as the camera. The other is the phone you carry.
Scan the QR code
The camera shows a code. Scan it and the two phones are paired with a private key only they know.
Watch and get alerts
Live video, talk back, and an alert when something needs you, even when the app is closed.
One app, five ways to keep an eye out
Each mode comes with ready-made alert rules. Fine-tune them on the camera, or from your phone.
Sleeping baby
An alarm when your baby cries or there is a loud noise, and a gentle notice when they stir.
Kids at play
Draw danger zones around the door, balcony or kitchen. Alerts for crying, screaming or breaking glass.
Elderly relatives
An alarm if there is no movement for a long time during the day, with a pause button for their privacy.
Pets
Know when your dog barks or your cat meows, and check in on what they are up to.
Empty home
Know when someone gets home, or when nobody is back by the time you expect.
Turn on Urgent alarms for any camera to make every notice a full-screen alarm that rings even when your phone is on silent.
Everything a family monitor needs
Live in under a second
Video goes straight from the camera to your phone, not through a cloud.
Push to talk
Hold a button to speak through the camera phone's speaker.
Sound recognition on the phone
Recognises crying, barking, breaking glass and smoke alarms on the camera itself. Audio never leaves it.
Smoke alarm in every mode
If a smoke alarm goes off near the camera, you hear about it, whatever mode you chose.
Never silently offline
If the camera disconnects, its battery runs low or it gets too hot, you are told. Always free.
Event history with snapshots
See what happened while you were not watching. Kept on the camera phone, not online.
Watch zones
Count movement only where it matters, up to four zones per camera.
15 languages
Kipsee speaks your family's language, and so do its alerts.
Private by design
Kipsee was built so that what happens at home stays at home.
No account
No email, phone number or password. Each install gets a random ID.
End-to-end encrypted
Video and sound go directly between your phones, encrypted. If a direct path is blocked, a relay passes the encrypted stream along without being able to see it.
No cloud recordings
Nothing is recorded online. Event snapshots stay on the camera phone.
Listening stays local
Sound recognition runs on the camera phone. Audio is never uploaded.

Questions families ask
No. Any spare Android phone or iPhone with a working camera will do. Android works best as the camera, because iOS does not let apps use the camera in the background.
No. Install, scan the QR code and you are watching. There is no email, phone number or password.
No. Video and sound travel encrypted between your phones and are never recorded on our servers. Event snapshots are kept on the camera phone.
Yes. Your phone can be anywhere with internet access. Most connections are direct; some networks block that, and Pro includes a relay server that gets through.
On Free, one phone can watch each camera. Pro allows up to 20 viewers, and one subscription covers every phone paired with the same camera.
Keep it plugged in. Kipsee dims the screen, lowers the video quality when the phone gets hot, and warns you about low battery or overheating.
No. Kipsee helps you keep an eye out, but it does not replace a responsible adult nearby and it is not a medical or safety device. Never leave a child alone, at home or in a car.
