24-hour home surveillance: How to turn your smartphone into a CCTV camera
Surveillance has become an indispensable part in our everyday life. Be it home, office or any personal property a need for surveillance is felt everywhere. Usually people use a dedicated CCTV surveillance setup for monitoring the live feed of their property. However, if you are on a tight budget, you can use your smartphone camera as a CCTV camera for surveillance purposes.
The use of a smartphone camera will not only help you to monitor the situation at your home, but also will be cost effective. Considering that every one of us has a spare smartphone, the only thing we should check in the device is a functioning camera and Wi-Fi. If both the primary camera and Wi-Fi functions of your smartphone are active, you can install apps that can help you with surveillance.
