Title: Last month I asked[0] what could be done with an old iPad; the responses led me to discover Alfred Home Security[0] and It&#x27;s exactly what I was looking for. The winning feature being, you can repurpose any old iOS device as a camera.<p>I have since used the app with 2 old iPads, and an iPhone 7 Plus. Works better than I expect, really nicely done app.<p>The motion detection is spot-on. I&#x27;ve been mostly using this to see what our new very shy kitten is up to since we&#x27;ve only seen him twice in 5 weeks; basically he&#x27;s impossible to find during the day and only comes out to play after we&#x27;re asleep. The videos are super fun &#x2F; cute, and it&#x27;s nice to see he&#x27;s having fun and in good health! [3]<p>Alfred Security also make a impressive, very inexpensive camera ($34 US, 1080P, night vision, 130 degree viewing angle and easy to mount). I just received 3 of the 4.<p>TLDR: last month I wanted to know what was the best use for old iPads &#x2F;iOS devices, and I&#x27;ve since discovered Alfred Home Security[1].<p>Supported Devices[2]:<p>Android: Android 4.4 or above (For a better experience, operating systems above Android 5 are highly recommended)<p>iOS: iOS 10 or above<p>Original post:<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34165418" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=34165418</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alfred.camera&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alfred.camera&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alfredcamera.zendesk.com&#x2F;hc&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;articles&#x2F;360039755571-What-devices-and-systems-do-AlfredCamera-support-" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alfredcamera.zendesk.com&#x2F;hc&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;articles&#x2F;360039755...</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alfred.camera&#x2F;tv&#x2F;9IHo74Mj5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alfred.camera&#x2F;tv&#x2F;9IHo74Mj5</a><p>* I have nothing to do, nor any affiliation with Alfred other than pay for and use their products.
