Did you know: You can turn your old phone into a home security camera

Don’t throw your old phone into that drawer you hardly ever open. You can put it to work by using it as a security camera and check up on your home when you’re not there.

I tried it, and it works like a charm. It’s also free if you’re happy with just basic features, and it only takes a few minutes to set up. However, using a phone as a security camera isn’t perfect, which I’ll discuss in more detail later.
