Important FYI: Using this 365 will DESTROY your old phone's battery (which is already old). Do not do this on any "backup" phone that you plan to use as a real phone. Obviously just using the app when you're on vacation or whatever is not the same thing. If you think you need that phone, just spend the money on a cheap motion camera--definitely cheaper than replacing a phone battery and less hassle. But a lot of people have an old phone they don't care about, so this is a great solution, I just don't want anyone to ruin a useful phone unknowingly. For example, when you travel you should always have a working spare phone. That's a great reason to save a backup. Obviously if you can't afford a new phone and are prone to breaking yours you should not ruin your backup, either.

Thank you so much for sharing this crucial information! Your insights about the impact of using the security app on an old phone's battery are incredibly valuable. It's evident that you genuinely care about helping others make informed decisions regarding their devices. Your suggestion of using a cheap motion camera as an alternative is both practical and cost-effective. Your consideration for those who may have limited resources and want to keep their backup phones in good condition is commendable. In a world where technology can sometimes be overwhelming, your advice simplifies things and encourages responsible device usage. It's clear that you're looking out for the well-being of the community. Thank you for your thoughtful and informative message! 🙌📱😊

How will using this App "DESTROY your old phone's battery", since all one has to do is use a charger that has the amps matched to the usage. For example if the phone uses 1wh, then use a charger that has 0.2A (5V charger x 0.2A = 1W/h)

While this app is still free, they changed it. Before, even with the free account, it would save videos to the cloud. That way if someone broke in and took the phone, you could still pull up the videos from the cloud. Not so anymore. If you are only using the free account, the videos are stored on the phone you are using and not the cloud, so if someone steals the phone, they take the video evidence with them. You now have to pay to have videos stored on the cloud.

So, I have very rude neighbors & their kids are the worst! I'm wondering if this set up would be good for setting up old phones in my windows.. instead of getting video doorbells for front & back. Does facing them to look out the windows make it so motion detection doesn't work? Does having both phones on my wifi use a lot of bandwidth? I don't want it to have to be either the phones or the tv, rather than all of them at the same time. Also, one window gets direct sunlight for several hours in warmer months, will the sunlight affect the video quality? Thank you!
@selmateacher7
@selmateacher7 2 месяца назад
As far as video quality, that depends on the phones you use. I made many videos on this topic , showing how well my older phones worked. Normally, having the camera face direct sunlight is not good at all for video quality. I hope your neighbors stop being rude. Thank you for the questions.

I turned couple of old phones into security cameras, using Alfred home security app. My concern though is, how safe it is to keep the phones/cameras being charged 24/7 without risking that battery might catch on fire while you are away from home
@selmateacher7
@selmateacher7 5 месяцев назад
I understand your concern about keeping them charged constantly. While modern smartphones are designed with safety features to prevent such incidents, it's always good to take precautions. Here are a few tips to ensure the safety of your setup: 1. **Use Original Chargers:** Stick to the original chargers or reputable brands to minimize the risk of overheating. 2. **Well-Ventilated Areas:** Ensure that the phones are placed in well-ventilated areas to dissipate any heat generated during charging. 3. **Check Battery Health:** Periodically check the battery health of the phones. If a battery is degrading rapidly, consider replacing it. 4. **Temperature Consideration:** Avoid exposing the phones to extreme temperatures, as both charging and discharging generate heat. 5. **Power Strips with Surge Protection:** Consider using power strips with surge protection to safeguard against electrical surges. 6. **Regular Inspections:** Periodically inspect the phones for any signs of overheating, and if you notice anything unusual, it's wise to temporarily disconnect them. Remember, while charging does generate some heat, the risks are generally low, especially with well-maintained, modern devices. If you're still concerned, you might consider using a smart plug with a timer to schedule charging cycles. Stay tech-savvy and safe!

I need something like this system. However, I haven't had much success to know what environment I need for it to work. MY SITUATION: I need to monitor my vacant house in California but I live in Texas. The house in California has no WiFi but my smartphone works when I am there. QUESTIONS: 1. Can the camera in California communicate with my smartphone when in Texas? 2. If so, do I have to put every camera-phone on my cellphone account? (I use Google FI, which is not free)? 3. Is there an app that can be installed on my computer that can receive the video/sound from the camera-phone? (If so, where do I get it?) 4. Can the camera-phone upload the video to a place I choose on the Internet? (For example can it upload to my Google Drive? 5. If it can upload, can it delete the videos to make more room for new videos? If anybody has any answers to these questions, I'd love to hear about it. Peace!

(If so, where do I get it?) This is the app. Alfred. You can view the footage from the phone via their web site and your private account with them 4. Can the camera-phone upload the video to a place I choose on the Internet? (For example can it upload to my Google Drive? Yes, you can download and save file locally , then upload them to your Google drive 5.

Sorry, No, security cameras that rely on WiFi to function need an internet connection in order to transmit footage or images. Without internet access, the cameras will not be able to transmit their footage, and you will not be able to view it remotely.

Ouch. I am sorry to hear that. About restarting the app when the phone starts, open Settings and go to the Application Manager. It should be in "Installed Apps" or "Applications," depending on your device. Select an app from the list of downloaded apps and turn the Autostart option on or off.
