Could you build this?

Partial Creating a standard iOS app UI is simple, but reliable peer-to-peer WebRTC/local streaming, hardware camera optimization, and battery/thermal management require deep systems engineering.

What it would actually take: The app requires an iOS stack using AVFoundation, Network.framework / Multicast DNS (Bonjour) for local discovery, and WebRTC or custom RTSP/SRTP pipelines for low-latency streaming. The primary challenge is maintaining low-latency, continuous video streaming across varied local network configurations without overheating older iPhone hardware or dropping connections in the background. Specialized mobile systems and audio/video streaming expertise is necessary to build a rock-solid zero-server camera.
