You can also pretty easily convert an old smartphone into security cam. I used Alfred when I needed it and can recommend it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu
Can you try with this app ?
NeedSomeMilk is right, cloud stream is the was to go, you will get the video or at least see him trying to catch your phone. It also have a lock option to prevent him to stop the app.
Wow that's nice. Didn't know so many apps exist for this.
There is this guy that is free, you install it on both phones, and it alert you when motion happened and can save the video during the event.
I use Alfred https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu With some of my old Phones, got 3 setup to keep an eye when were not at home. Has push notifications when something happens so i dont have to watch it all the time. Edit: it also supports remote speech so you can tell your dog to relax :)
Alfred. No root needed, can turn off screen through the app. I use my old phones as cameras and my current phone as the viewer.
It also is motion detection capable, and auto saves events so you don't have to go through hours of footage to find something that happened
Find or borrow an old Android smartphone, head to the Google Play store, and download/install this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en_GB
Then find a way to conceal it near your problem spot and set it to record. Your current phone can act as a viewer. Set it to record motion events and hopefully, you'll bag your thief.
I haven't done this with a phone, but I have a very cheap and very crappy android tablet that I used to use Alfred on and it never got any hotter than normal
While not perfect it works pretty good. I put my note 2 on a charger and in a cup. It just needs to connect to wifi and have the app installed. I also have it one the note 4 and that one works as a receiver. It notifies me on movement and allows some operations like switch cams, send audio and turn on flash and a 'nightvision' mode. This is the app I use.
If you have an old phone or tablet there is a free program called Alfred Security Camera. I use it I has been VERY helpful. I just put the phone in my front window in plain sight. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en_US&gl=US
I would deffinitely tell the authorities about this threat in the courtroom, and about it playing on your mind and causing concern now that you have a young child with him being out soon (esp with his past violence when you were pregnant) - maybe they can set out some preventative measures to ensure your safety and put your mind at ease.
Edit/Update: You should also invest in some security surveillance like Ring - or if that's too expensive, there are some surveillance apps on the google play store that only require you to have an old Android phone (to use as the camera). One that springs to mind is Alfred but there are many others to choose from (not sure about IOS, but I think there would be similar apps).
Maybe even check out r/homedefense for further advice.
If you have any old phones laying around and Wi-Fi connection, there's a free app in the play store called Alfred Security that you might wanna check out. Link below
I used to use Alfred more than a year ago and it worked surprisingly well. It requires a sign in to a Google account by both the camera and viewing device. You are able to view the feed via Android, iOS, and/or browser. The only issue I ever had was the camera would occasionally cycle off but could easily be restarted from the viewing device.
I remember testing out a few similar apps found through a simple playstore search and most worked better than expected. For what it's worth the phone I used as the camera was always connected to wifi and not tested on a mobile data connection.
If you've got an extra android phone, the play store has an app that will act as a surveillance camera. Icon looks like Jeeves the butler, called Home security cam: Alfred. It is less of a hidden cam solution and more of an innocuous hiding in plain sight one.
Since this is just a one-off thing, no need to spend any money or even get too complex - an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu would work, otherwise just search for timelapse apps - one frame every few seconds would likely be sufficient and not use much space.
It could be using something like Alfred which turns your android device into a security camera. It calls home to a server so there's no need to set up port forwarding on routers and you can connect to it as and when you like.

There's an app that will let you use an old phone as a security camera, with some intelligence about what it's recording.
I used the Android version, but it's on the Apple app store as well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&gl=US
I personally have a ring set up at my place, the stick up cam (battery version) and a doorbell. Works really well and I like the app. I went with the stick up cam as I can move it around to where I need it/whichever room I leave the puppy to play in.
Whilst I was making my decision on what to go for I used an old smartphone and installed an app called Alfred from the Google play store. It turns any phone into a security camera. Used an old tripod (you can get them for a fiver on eBay) and set it up to watch the pup whilst I had zoom calls.
Hey OP if u have an old phone you have an old phone you can use it as a motion detecting cam for free. I'll link the app. It's called Alfred camera, I use it at home and it's awesome for free. Good luck man.
Just repurpose it. MP3 player, gaming device, e-reader, connected to a dumb speaker to make it a smart one. Also turn it into a indoor security camera. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu
Não exatamente o que você pediu, mas vou dar uma opção.
O app Alfred Camera. Ele é gratuito, mas a versão paga dá alguns benefícios interessantes. Você instala o App em um celular que vai funcionar como câmera de segurança. Em outro celular, você instala o App para monitorar a(s) câmera(s).
Se a câmera for boa, dá até uma visibilidade legal no escuro. Eu uso há anos e nunca tive problema. Você consegue ver em tempo real, além de poder programar para gravar automaticamente quando for detectado algum movimento. Também dá para ouvir os sons à volta.
It’s pretty cool to repurpose your Moto X4 into a motion detecting WiFi home security camera with “Alfred Camera”, the highly rated security cam app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en_US
IS THIS A DORM ROOM!? I would def. put a camera/s in my room and/or old phones can be used as a security cam too | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&referrer=utm_source%3Dlandingpage%26utm_campaign%3Dlanding
I use an old phone, my new phone and an app called Alfred. As long as you are connected to the internet/WIFI you can connect to it. There are two options. Send a picture when motion is detected or steam video.
Alfred APP;
Oh weird... They definitely have locker shelves in Vekua Carrefour and a number of Nikora stores that I usually go.
Yep scanners are there for high-value items and alcohol as far as I know. I don't think groceries have RFID tags. However, if the bag has aluminum foil shielding, no scanner can detect RFID tagged items inside that bag.
I can totally understand. Never leave valuables at home especially if your rent is not through Airbnb and nice reviews. BTW if you are suspicious of your landlord you can leave some cheap smartphone as a security camera using Alfred app.
Just to update, while i have tried many apps and combination of apps, some come close to what i want but for a monthly subscription, but the best free option at the moment is to use Alfred Video Surveillance Camera for sending alerts upon motion, at which point i can remotely view the front or rear camera, and then if required track the phones GPS using Google Find My Device. I am still open to suggestions and hopeful to find a better option, but for now, as long it everything keeps working, this is a good combination for free.
I used this one before my tablet got stolen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu The short time i useit i really like it, check it out and i hope you like it, i had mine at work but i should hide it more.
If you have an old Android phone laying around you can use the free Alfred app. It will send you a notification on your personal phone whenever there is movement. Paid version does HD video but I just use free.
After trying several others, I found Alfred. It just works like its supposed to. You login with your google account both on the camera phone and on the viewer phone or tablet, then you can just open the app and see whats going on at any time. I really like the feature where it asks if you want to turn on or off motion detection when you connect or disconnect from your home's wifi.
Never tried it but looks like it isn't abandoned like some other IP cam apps.
Actually just found this app that looks pretty promising: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mantishrimp.salienteye
alfred is what i use- it may not be as pretty as this but I can confirm it works flawleslly.
Download this on 2 phones and make it a security camera. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu
There's an app called Alfred that turns an old phone into a motion-activated camera. Put one in a window so he can't destroy or steal it.
There is also one for android phones that can be monitored from another android phone or a PC.
> Verizon is offering me $80 for a trade
Why trade it in or sell?
Thanks to its wide feature-set, the V20 can still be very useful as a non-daily driver:
This one works well - Alfred
Cheaper alternative is if you have any old android phones lying around, you can also install the app alfred. Also has two way audio!
I used Alfred
Was very happy with it
Home security cam using an all-in-one app like Alfred or by rolling your own using IP Webcam and TinyCam monitor.
See also "Alfred"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en
Should be pretty self explanatory once you look up the App he mntioned.
Yes, 'Alfred'
I assume this is the product you are referring to. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu
Alfred, hands down.
Edit - assuming video will suffice or exceed your needs
TIL Japanese 7/11s have copy machines!
Update: my landlord was coming to my house all the time and entered my room. Was told he's old and probably speaks poor English so nothing to be done. Anyone ever actually have any luck enforcing their rights as gaijin?
> Hi, > > I posted previously about my landlord invading my space. I contacted every number I found/was recommended, and it was all a fucking frustrating experience that resulted in the conclusion that, because the man is old, he probably only has good intentions going into the room of a single woman who lives alone in a house. > > And because our agreement's in English, he's excused for having "poor English" and "being confused" (because he's also old) about what he agreed to. I did set up my spare phone as a security cam in my room, but when I came home the video was gone. > > It's been really hard dealing with this and looking for another home for reasons but I'm trying. In the meantime I'm trying to understand this shit, I guess so I can avoid it in the future. So old Japanese people are exempt from the law? Or is it just because I'm a gaijin? I keep hearing about strong tenant laws in Japan so why do they not apply to my case? WTF?! > > Edit: thanks for your replies! I should mention that the situation has triggered my PTSD really bad, so it can be really hard for me to think straight. Here are the orgs I've contacted (there could be more but I can't remember now): > > * The police (said it wasn't their domain) > * Humans Rights Association (don't even remember what they said exactly but they were useless) > * Japan Legal Support Center (Houterasu) (still dealing with them, can only make an appointment for mid-September) > * Ward office (said it wasn't their domain) > * Shinjuku Foreigner Helpdesk (I think that's what it's called) (not their domain) > * Consumer Rights (concluded "old"+"confused")

^(Check out copy-kun on) ^github!

Plug it into a charger, connect it to your wifi, install Alfred and use it as a cheap home security camera.
I used to use Alfred for that. It's been a long time since I've used it, so idk if it still works the same, though.
Have you looked at Alfred? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu
If you use android, Alfred is free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en&gl=us
It's called Alfred home security camera
You can use an old cell phone connected to a wall charger and use something like this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu
Uso bastante Alfred. Gosto muito e recomendo.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en_GB&gl=US on an old phone connected and charging
Alfred
I haven't tried it, but I've always seen this app recommended https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu
Some programs already exist, assuming you are on Android, check out this one:
I use Alfred. It does great for me, but I'm not sure what quality of video you're looking for.

You've got three excellent CCTV cameras in the making:

I use Alfred Home Security Camera. I'm not sure about not needing wifi. It might store to SD, but I've never tried it.
it's my old phone running Alfred Camera because I'm too cheap to buy one of those fancy doorbells
Isn't this like alfred
Try "Alfred" maybe? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en
Alfred might do it. I haven't had it loaded in a while.
Hi, thanks for the comment.
Yes I have and actually there's ab app named Alfredo which does this (doesn't have Telegram option).
I used mine with Alfred as a security camera. Had it mounted on a wall looking at my front door and driveway.
> Alfred
I googled the app up and all I can find is a security camera related app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivuu&hl=en
So using the phone as a remote security camera?
Use Alfred.
I ended up installing a dedicated system, but I did play around with Alfred a bit, and it seemed pretty solid for what it was.
I second Alfred. It's worked like a charm for me. Here's the link.
If you're on Android, try Alfred
Alfred is a good app
