    Try this open source app called Haven for surveillance, which uses another android device as a video camera, I hope it can function like this. Discord's privacy policy is horrible. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

    Haven is the Guardians app for exactly this setting. It can be used to monitor journalist's hotel rooms. It therefore hooks in with Signal and sends updates as soon as it detects motions.
