We offer a free plan with no time limit. You can use it indefinitely, but there are some limitations on video quality and network bandwidth. No ads included.
The primary limit is a daily data cap of 300 MB. Additionally, there are restrictions on video resolution, bitrate, and download speed. These measures are to maintain service quality while offering LineCast for free.
For free plan users, the maximum video quality is a vertical frame size of 720 pixels and a maximum bitrate of 1 Mbps. Purchased options remove these limits, and video quality depends on network bandwidth and the camera's capabilities.
For free plan users, the camera can send up to 300 MB of data per 24 hours. This is typically sufficient for about half an hour of video footage.
Yes, you can connect to your camera from any device, including iPhone. However, please note that we currently only support Android phones as camera devices.
Only if you share the access link and camera password with that person. If you enable two-factor authentication, only people with access to the phone generating security codes can connect to the camera.
No, LineCast displays a notification in the system tray of your phone when it is being used as a camera. This is a security requirement from Android, providing you with a clear indication of the camera's activity.
No, the password is only stored on the camera itself. We don't have access to it for security reasons. You can start a new capture session on the camera device with a new password
