As a result, most of us have more than one smartphone and usually latest one is used more and after few weeks or months the older one becomes useless.

So one such way to utilize it is turning your old smartphone or tablet into home security camera, baby monitor, pet cam, or senior care cam with walkie-talkie, motion detector, and night vision!

I will tell you each step how to do so.

So let’s get started…..

Let me tell you that you can do it for free through an app named “Alfred Home Security Camera” which is available on Play Store.

WHY CHOOSE ALFRED?

UNIVERSAL :-

Alfred is compatible with most smartphones and tablets on the market. Did you get a new phone? As long as your old devices run Android 2.3, they are compatible with Alfred. Your old smartphone and tablet can have a fruitful second life and serve a new purpose! You won’t have spare gadgets gathering dust or going to waste anymore! Do you work behind a PC all day? Use Alfred’s Web Viewer to stream video feed from your computer.

VERSATILE :-

• Everyone wants to protect their loved ones and ensure their safety. You don’t need a professionally monitored home security system to do that. Unlike traditional CCTV systems or surveillance cameras, you can place Alfred anywhere and change as often as you want wherever you need to reinforce security. You don’t even have to buy an IP cam or webcam. Besides the cost of the equipment, these smart home appliances often charge a monthly fee. With Alfred, there is no complicated installation, IP settings, or contract. You only have to download Alfred to build a DIY home security system: pure and simple.

Do you feel some anxiety caused by the increasing crime rate?

• Besides the capacity of streaming live feed of your home, Alfred keeps you updated on what is going on in your home with motion sensor and instant alerts. If you see an intruder, you can scare him away by speaking through the walkie-talkie and immediately notify the local authorities. It works like an alarm. The videos are kept safe in the free cloud storage, and they can be saved or downloaded as evidence to help identify the suspect. Alfred is an essential component of any home improvement or home automation project if you are interested in building a smart home or experimenting with voice assistants such as Google Assistant.
• Wherever you live, your neighborhood and city is safer if everybody has some security measures in place. If you are a renter of have a roommate, you might need a security system that is easy to set up and portable. When you travel, you might want to make sure your hotel is safe. After all, if anything like snooping, breaking and entering, theft, car accident, or your landlord entering the apartment without your permission, the video footage Alfred records will be extremely helpful.

ECO-CONSCIOUS :-
