Creative Ways to Use SpyScope
SpyScope isn't just for baby monitoring. Here are some creative ways our users are putting it to work.
Baby & Nursery Monitoring
The classic use case. Set up an old iPhone in the nursery to keep an eye on your little one. The ultra-low latency mode means you'll see and hear what's happening in near real-time.
Pro tip: Use the torch feature as a dim nightlight that doubles as illumination for the camera.
Pet Watching
See what your pets are up to while you're away. Mount the camera to capture their favorite spots - the couch, their bed, or that sunny window spot.
Pro tip: Use the Ultra Wide camera to capture more of the room with a single device.
Home Security
Turn spare iPhones into security cameras for your front door, garage, or backyard. Since everything stays on your local network, there's no subscription fee and no cloud privacy concerns.
Pro tip: Position near windows for outdoor views, or use weatherproof enclosures for actual outdoor placement.
3D Print Monitoring
Watch your 3D prints in progress from anywhere in your house. Catch failed prints early or just enjoy watching your creations come to life layer by layer.
Pro tip: Use the Telephoto lens to get a close-up view of the print bed without physically moving the camera.
Kitchen & Cooking
Keep an eye on what's cooking from another room. Perfect for slow-cooking, baking, or any dish that needs occasional monitoring without constant hovering.
Pro tip: Mount above the stove or oven with a view of the timer and cooking surface.
Plant & Garden Watching
Create a time-lapse view of your garden or houseplants growing. Or simply check on outdoor plants without going outside in bad weather.
Pro tip: Great for monitoring seedlings, checking if plants need water, or watching for garden visitors.
Workout Form Check
Set up SpyScope to stream your workout to a nearby TV or computer. Check your form in real-time without craning your neck to see a mirror.
Pro tip: Position at an angle that shows your full body for exercises like squats and deadlifts.
Driveway & Package Delivery
Point a camera at your driveway or front porch. Get a live view when you hear a delivery truck or want to check if a package has arrived.
Pro tip: Open the stream on your phone when you hear the doorbell without getting up.
Art & Craft Documentation
Stream your creative process to capture progress or share with friends. Great for painting, drawing, crafting, or any hands-on project.
Pro tip: The overhead view works great for tabletop crafts and drawing.
