Recycle Old Smartphones into Home Security Cameras with This Clever Hack
• Turn an old smartphone into a home security camera using a free app like Alfred to view camera footage from your new phone • Position the old phone to monitor entry points, backyards, valuables or vulnerable spots; can also use it as a baby monitor • Mount the old phone with a small tripod or suction car mount and position it near a power source so the battery doesn't die • Streaming video uses a lot of power so use a 10-foot charging cable to give more flexibility in positioning • Can set up multiple old phones as security cameras around your home for more robust video coverage
