We bet every person possesses at least one former device that simply gathers dust on the shelf. Do not regard your old smartphone as something you can give for parts and simply throw it in the trash. Your device deserves a second life. Instead of spending money, you can transform your old device into a baby monitor.

But the most beneficial method to upcycle your old device is to turn it into a security camera. You will save money instead of purchasing an expensive security camera. Secondly, installing it isn’t as complicated as it may appear. Thus, let us consider three steps that separate you from starting utilizing your former android phone as a security camera.

Stride 1: Set a security camera application on your former device

In the beginning, there is a necessity to do is to download a special security camera application for your device. There are applications that propose identical features and functions. Some of them are notifications, cloud or local streaming, recording and keeping footage (locally or remotely), audio or motion detection, etc. After you set it, you will possess the possibility to monitor your camera from any place just by having your new device in your hands.

It is recommended to install applications that are cross-platform. This means that if your former device was an Android or iPhone, it would operate well in your new device.

Stride 2: Select a place for your camera

After the special application is installed, it is time to determine the place of the camera. It depends on what place you desire to concentrate attention on. It can be an entrance door, your backyard, a secret hiding place where you keep expensive things (money, documents, bijou, etc.), or a place you consider as primarily vulnerable.

If you possess several former devices, you can take all of them and place them inside and around the house for sufficiently reliable video surveillance.

Stride 3: Position and turn on a new camera

When it is time to place the camera, you can utilize an ordinary tripod or car mount. They will assist in position your new camera firmly and in an imperceptible place. If you desire to extend the field of view, you can order a wide-angle lens for a smartphone.

Do not forget that a camera will operate 24/7. A security camera can be discharged really quickly because of power-intensive streaming video. Therefore, it is advisable to position the device near a power source.

That’s all, and you can utilize the security camera application on your new device to view what your former phone camera is recording. Do not forget to configure motion detection, audio detection, vibration detection, notifications, remote access, etc., in the installed application.
