I’ve been using the Lexis Cam, Home security app for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you turn an old Android phone into a security camera. Pretty solid if you’re into home monitoring and stuff like that.
Here’s what you do: you can set up motion detection to get alerts when something’s moving around. And there’s also an acoustic noise detection mode for using it as a babyphone. And you can set a timer to have it record at certain times. It takes some fiddling to get it set up right, but it works well once you figure it out.
Look, if you’re worried about home security or just want to keep an eye on your pets, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the motion detection can be a bit touchy sometimes – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you need a simple home cam.
