YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT HUMAN

They open the link.
They see your view.

  • Live video from the camera you shared, while Zurcit stays in the source phone’s foreground.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL

Optional GPS

Share location only if you choose. Updates need the source app open and online. Old fixes show Last known.

Permission to respond

Choose Talk and alarm access. Helpers only see cameras covered by their invitation.

Time you choose

Free: 2 one-hour invitations per UTC month. Scout: 12. Guardian: unlimited, with optional revocable Never expires links while active.

Keep the source phone unlocked, online and Zurcit open, with the camera lens clear. Zurcit does not contact emergency services.

More questions & setup details
Can a friend watch and talk through my phone?

Yes. Share a private invitation for your camera and enable Allow Talk and alarm sounds. Your friend opens the link in Zurcit and taps Talk. Your phone must stay online with Zurcit open; check its speaker output and media volume together before you leave.

What permissions and connection do we need?

The source phone needs camera permission for video and an internet connection. The helper allows microphone access to use Talk. GPS is optional and needs location permission on the phone sharing its position. Both devices can use Wi-Fi or mobile data; they do not need to be on the same network.

Can I stop the sharing early?

Yes. Open your invitations and choose Remove access. You can stop location sharing separately. Access also ends at a timed invitation’s expiry. A helper can keep copies they already downloaded or captured.

Can my friend hear sounds around me?

Listen is separate from Talk. Enable live room audio on the source camera and allow microphone access if you want an authorized viewer to hear the room. The viewer taps Listen to unmute it. You can share video without enabling room audio.

Does my friend need a paid plan?

No. A helper needs Zurcit installed, with no account or subscription required to open the invitation.

Does GPS keep updating when I close the app?

No. This is optional foreground location sharing, not continuous background tracking.

Can I share with more than one person?

Yes. Create a separate invitation for each helper device. Up to 20 invitations may be active at once; plan limits apply when creating them.
