Partial The Android camera and monitoring UI is buildable, but reliable peer-to-peer encrypted video across arbitrary networks (NAT traversal, low-latency streaming, battery management) is hard to get right by vibe coding alone.
What it would actually take: Use Android with CameraX and a WebRTC stack for P2P streaming, with STUN/TURN for NAT traversal and DTLS/SRTP for encryption, plus a foreground service for background operation. The hard parts are NAT traversal reliability across carriers, keeping latency and battery use acceptable, and getting the key exchange and threat model right without a server, which benefits from networking and security expertise.
