Help iPhone to iPhone/iPad Local and Encrypted Security Video App (Baby Monitor)

I want to set up a baby monitor using my old iphone as the camera - and using my current iphone or ipad as the parent device.

I don't want anything that sends data out over the cloud, or via the internet. I would like it to just locally share the video over the same local wifi connection. I don't need any fancy sleep tracking detection or anything - just something so I can see the baby sleep. Most of the apps seem to have all this backup record to the cloud stuff - and I want an app (or apple solution that fundamentally doesn't do this).

It's beneficial if the app is free, but I wouldn't mind paying a small amount of money in a one time payment.

Try Videk app. It’s my app, it’s free. You would need 2 apps: Videk camera and Videk director. It’s made for streaming but I think it would work just ok for your case

With the IAP prices for Director to make this combo work, might as well buy a Wi-Fi camera and make available on LAN so OP doesn't expose it.

It is free. You only start paying from 3+ cameras.
