Telegram Camera (Telecam) on Windows Pc

This app lets you take pictures using your phone and send them directly to your Telegram Messenger app.

Sample applications:

1. Make your phone as a CCTV. Fix it to a phone holder and point it to your house's main entrance. Every 5 minutes you get the picture in your Telegram Messenger app, which of course you are not at home at the moment.

2. Make your phone as a kids watcher. Fix it to a phone holder and place it somewhere in their room. Every 30 minutes you know what they are doing, like doing homework or just goofing around.

3. Monitor your pets activities.

4. Surveil your car.

5. Get to know the presence of your bus coming to your route.

6. You own a self-service laundry shop and you want to monitor how it goes. Install the phone at the corner of the shop just like a CCTV but make sure you put it in a cage.

7. You are doing research on endangered animals like the rhinos. Put the phone on their trails to catch some awesome pictures of them.

8. Many more. You name it. This app is totally free with no ads. Developed just for fun. Please use it responsibly. Thanks!
