Live Streaming
Real-time safety streaming for when it matters most
Live Streaming — In Development
Target: Sentinel & Overwatch tiers • Estimated availability: 2027
What Is Live Streaming?
Live Streaming turns Shadow Prox into an active safety tool. When you feel unsafe, activate a live stream that broadcasts your camera, microphone, GPS location, and BLE environment to trusted contacts or cloud storage in real time. Even if your phone is taken or destroyed, the evidence is already saved.
Use Cases
Safe Date
Going on a first date? Activate Safe Date mode to share your live location, BLE environment, and optional video with a trusted friend. They see every device around you in real time. One tap to end when you feel safe.
Panic Stream
Press the panic button (on phone or ESP32 hardware) and Shadow Prox immediately starts streaming video + audio + GPS to the cloud and alerts your emergency contacts with a live link. Works even from the lock screen.
Dashcam Mode
Mount your phone on the dashboard and Shadow Prox records continuous video while simultaneously scanning BLE. If a device follows your car across locations, the video evidence is automatically bookmarked at each sighting.
Walk Home
Walking alone at night? Activate Walk Home mode to share your live route with a contact. If you don't check in within a set time, or if Shadow Prox detects a persistent follower, your contact is automatically alerted.

Privacy First
- You control who sees your stream — only contacts you explicitly choose
- End-to-end encryption — streams encrypted in transit and at rest
- Auto-delete options — set streams to auto-delete after 24 hours, 7 days, or keep forever
- No always-on surveillance — streaming only activates when you choose or when triggered by panic
