In a previous article, Spare smartphone security camera<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, I explored using an old phone as a security camera that I could monitor remotely on my current phone & through PC Browser. That was pretty successful. The Alfred Security Cam app<\/strong> is good at managing the old phone by turning the screen off and activating notifiations on motion events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then posited that you could do the same with a PC camera. I have a couple of old PC’s so I thought I would explore trying to use their web cams and view them remotely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a YouTube vid on setting up Yawcam<\/a><\/strong>. This is a sharware software that runs the webcam. You can save to file, have it refresh screen at intervals (Http) or stream to a remote computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
