WardenCam

Don't throw your old smartphone away! With the WardenCam application you can now reuse your old mobile devices and recycle them as security cameras

Turn an old cell phone into a security camera

Would you like to install a security camera in your home, baby's room or office without investing a lot of money and buying any equipment? With this fantastic video surveillance app, all we have to do is download the APK file and get an old cell phone.

How to use a smartphone as a surveillance camera

The WardenCam app turns a smartphone (or several) into a security camera that we can access from another smartphone or tablet. Once we have the platform installed on all devices, we just have to sync them to be able to remotely see everything that's happening on the main phone at any time of the day.

In addition, this tool detects and registers every movement and immediately sends us an alert with a screenshot as soon as something happens. But there's more to it than that, as we can hear everything that's going on. And even talk to people or pets that are on the other side of the screen.

This app even includes a night vision mode to automatically improve the image in poor visibility. In addition, the system is compatible with Google Drive and Dropbox, which allows us to store our recordings on the cloud.

The downside is that we have to pay after the trial period ends. And yet, with this app we can save money and reuse an old device that would otherwise surely have ended up in the trash (or better yet, at the collection point). Our wallet will thank us, but so will the environment.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.1.
