A phone that you paid hundreds of dollars for just a few years ago, is now not worth anything.
A phone with a cracked screen is of no value for a trade-in. The good news is there are ways to use an old device, provided it can connect to WiFi.
Alfred is one solution. It’s an app that turns almost any smartphone into a web camera.
Perfect for placing in the kitchen when you’re off on vacation or as a web camera for the baby’s room.
You’ll be prompted to choose which phone will be used for the camera and which one for the viewer.
Then, you’ll need to prop up the old phone with the camera facing what you want to keep an eye on, like the backdoor.
You’ll also need to connect it to a wall outlet so the battery doesn’t run down.
It’ll also send notifications if it detects movement.
A 2-way microphone lets both sides of the camera speak to each other.
