goGPS Drive in this scenario
Use two compatible Android phones: set one to Security Camera and pair the other as Main Phone. Motion starts a local video recording. Remote live viewing and access to new recordings require internet on both devices, the same Google Drive account and the camera screen to remain open. This is goGPS Drive’s paired camera mode, not a general RTSP/ONVIF IP-camera stream.
Step-by-step setup
- Install the app on the camera phone, grant camera permission and provide a fixed position, power and internet.
- Connect the appropriate Drive account on both phones. Choose Security Camera on the old phone and Main Phone on the one you carry.
- For live video, compare security codes, pair the phones and keep the camera screen open.
- Trigger a test movement. Check video, notifications, live access and battery status.
Before you start
Remote features need internet and the appropriate entitlement. Ambient audio is not sent to the main phone. Push-to-Talk sends voice only from the main phone to the camera phone.
Setup checklist
- What you need
- Two compatible Android phones, a fixed camera position and camera permission. Keep the camera screen open during live access.
- Connection and access
- Remote use requires internet on both devices, the same Google Drive account and secure pairing. Remote features require Premium after the first 30-day trial.
Check that it works
Walk in front of the camera to trigger a test event. Check the local recording on the camera phone, then the notification and live view on the main phone. A live session itself does not create a video file; motion recording is a separate function.
If something does not work
If there is no local recording, check camera permission, recording mode, sensitivity and free space. If local recording works but remote access does not, check internet, the Drive account, device roles and pairing. Ambient audio is not sent to the main phone; push-to-talk is one-way from the main phone to the camera.
