Trial period
3 days to try, then a one-time purchase
Sentrio IP Cam is free to try for 3 days, with no restrictions. The clock starts at the first camera start and keeps running even if you switch the camera off in between. After that you need Premium to keep using the phone as a camera: a one-time purchase through Google Play, no subscription and no ads. One purchase covers your Google account and unlocks every camera phone signed in to it. The current price is shown only in the app's Play Store listing.
