If they still turn on, you can put them to good use in your <span class=\"link\">home<\/span>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"speakableTextP2\">You could turn one into a <span class=\"link\">baby monitor<\/span> or a <span class=\"link\">makeshift Google Home speaker<\/span>, for example. Those are good ideas and you can find more in the link below, but one of the most useful ways to upcycle an old phone is to make it into a <span class=\"link\">home security camera<\/span>.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Further reading<\/strong>: <span class=\"link\">Find new uses for that old Android phone or iPhone<\/span>.  <\/p>\n<h2> \t \tStep 1: Get a security camera app running on your old phone(s)  <\/h2>\n<p>To begin, you will need to choose a security-camera app for your phone. Most apps offer many of the same features, such as local streaming, cloud streaming, recording and storing footage locally or remotely, and motion detection and alerts.  <\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re set up, you will be able to monitor your living space and control your security camera from anywhere, straight from your new phone.  <\/p>\n<p>One of the best options for setting up your phone as a security camera is <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Alfred<\/a>. It&#8217;s cross-platform, so it doesn&#8217;t matter if your old phone was an <span class=\"link\">Android phone or iPhone<\/span>. And the same goes for your new phone.  <\/p>\n<p>Alfred is free to use and gives you a remote view of your live feed, motion detection with alerts, free cloud storage, a two-way audio feed and use of both the front and rear cameras. To unlock additional features, like higher-resolution viewing and recording, zoom capabilities, ad removal and 30-day cloud storage, you can upgrade to Alfred Premium.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download Alfred (<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">Android<\/a>, <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">iOS) on both your old and new phones or any tablets you want to use.<\/li>\n<li>On the new phone, swipe through the introduction and tap <strong>Start<\/strong>. Select <strong>Viewer<\/strong> and tap <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Once you get to the sign-in page, click <strong>Sign in with Google<\/strong> (a Google account is required) and sign in with your Google account credentials.<\/li>\n<li>On the old phone, repeat the same steps, but instead of selecting <strong>Viewer<\/strong>, select <strong>Camera<\/strong>. And make sure to sign in to the same Google account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once both phones are signed in to Alfred, you&#8217;re pretty much done with the setup. Alfred has simplified the camera options to only include a few settings. On iOS, you can only enable motion detection, choose between the front and rear cameras and enable or disable audio. If you&#8217;re using an Android device, you have those options and you can also enable continuous focus, have Alfred automatically reopen if the phone reboots, set a resolution and enable a passcode lock.  <\/p>\n<p>From your new phone, you can change a few more settings, such as turning notifications on orff, setting a camera or viewer name, adding other people to your <strong>Trust Circle<\/strong> (granting other people access to your video feeds), removing a camera, checking how many times a camera has disconnected, settng motion detection sensitivity and enabling a low-light filter on cameras.  <\/p>\n<p>While Alfred is a solid choice, keep in mind it&#8217;s not the <em>only<\/em> choice. Far from it, in fact. <span class=\"link\">Manything<\/span>, <span class=\"link\">Salient Eye<\/span> and <span class=\"link\">Presence<\/span> are all solid free choices with an affordable subscription model if you need more features. And <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">IP Webcam<\/a>\u00a0is one of the more popular Android-only options.  <\/p>\n<h2> \t \t\tStep 2: Choose a spot to position your camera  <\/h2>\n<p>After you have the stream up and running, you will need to set up and position the camera. You may want it focused on the main entry point to your home, your backyard, the place where you store valuables or a point you think might be particularly vulnerable. You can also set up an IP camera as a baby monitor.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"hed\">53 indoor security cameras for a safer smart home<\/h2>\n<p>        <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><span class=\"galleryText\">See all photos<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\" img\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wordpressdynamos.com\/timesofnewscdn\/blog\/0db41_samsungsmartcamhdplusproductphoto-6.jpg?resize=532%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"\" alt=\"security-camera-roundup-pic-1.jpg\" height=\"299\" width=\"532\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\" img\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wordpressdynamos.com\/timesofnewscdn\/blog\/b8681_amazon-cloud-cam-2.jpg?resize=532%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"\" alt=\"amazon-cloud-cam-2\" height=\"299\" width=\"532\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\" img\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wordpressdynamos.com\/timesofnewscdn\/blog\/163d4_belkin-netcam-hd-plus-product-photos-12.jpg?resize=532%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"\" alt=\"belkin-netcam-hd-plus-product-photos-12.jpg\" height=\"299\" width=\"532\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"more\">+51 More<\/span>                    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have multiple old phones lying around, you can set up multiple cameras for fairly robust video coverage.  <\/p>\n<h2> \t \t\tStep 3: Mount and power your new security camera(s)  <\/h2>\n<p>To mount or position the camera, a small <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">smartphone tripod<\/a> or <span class=\"link\">suction cup car mount<\/span> can work wonders and help you position the camera in an inconspicuous place.  <\/p>\n<p>To broaden the field of view, consider buying a <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\">wide-angle lens for your phone<\/a>, something that can be purchased for between $5 and $20 online.  <\/p>\n<p>Streaming video is very power-intensive, and the phone will be on 24\/7.
