A smartphone
An IP webcam app installed on the smartphone
Registration on Ivideon
Internet connection
A web browser

To get started

You need to get a security camera app running on your old smartphone

The best security camera app I can recommend is IP webcam and you can download it here on Play Store. There is a lite version that is available for free, however if you need to unlock all features, I think you might need to purchase the Pro version of the app. You don’t really need the pro version except you want to utilize the full features. The light version works Pretty cool.

Now let’s get our smartphone ready to act as a security camera.
