Thank you

I am happy to hear that. I hope you like my newer videos.

Thank you so much for sharing this crucial information! Your insights about the impact of using the security app on an old phone's battery are incredibly valuable. It's evident that you genuinely care about helping others make informed decisions regarding their devices. Your suggestion of using a cheap motion camera as an alternative is both practical and cost-effective. Your consideration for those who may have limited resources and want to keep their backup phones in good condition is commendable. In a world where technology can sometimes be overwhelming, your advice simplifies things and encourages responsible device usage. It's clear that you're looking out for the well-being of the community. Thank you for your thoughtful and informative message! 🙌📱😊

How will using this App "DESTROY your old phone's battery", since all one has to do is use a charger that has the amps matched to the usage. For example if the phone uses 1wh, then use a charger that has 0.2A (5V charger x 0.2A = 1W/h)

@@JDMumma Did that and after 5 or 6 months almost burnt my house down. Battery was like a balloon and catch fire. Charging circuit loads the battery where phone is taking current from, so the cells are being used anyway. Only safe way to use phones long term for this usage is to supply power through battery connectors for example like 3,7V 1,5A and remove the battery completely...

Thank you

I am happy you liked it. Thank you.

Glad you liked it!

Yes, these can work like that. I do have other videos showing other options as well.

true.. Thank you for the info.

$30 per year which is a small fraction of a professional security system . Not shilling for them but they do need some money

I've been using Alfred for 6 years. I just deactivated my account today

True. The resolution is low, but I was using older phones. The zoom feature would be great. face / plate detections would be awesome. They may have these features if your phone supports them, please contact them , here: alfredcamera.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

@@selmateacher7 free afaik for basics.. so what?

Yes, you get all these bells and whistles if you are willing to pay Alfred Premium

Yes. mines is stopped showing videos unless I go for premium. 🙁​@@skamravec

Thank you

With the support of top-tier cybersecurity mechanisms- W3C, Google, Android, and Amazon- Alfred is equipped with the most advanced protection.

That's why you make a Gmail account just for this

Thank you

You may wish to give it a try. I used Android phones with this app.

I am happy it works.

As far as video quality, that depends on the phones you use. I made many videos on this topic , showing how well my older phones worked. Normally, having the camera face direct sunlight is not good at all for video quality. I hope your neighbors stop being rude. Thank you for the questions.

1. Can the camera in California communicate with my smartphone when in Texas? Yes. 2. If so, do I have to put every camera-phone on my cellphone account? (I use Google FI, which is not free)? No, but they need to connect to wifi or the internet somehow. 3. Is there an app that can be installed on my computer that can receive the video/sound from the camera-phone? (If so, where do I get it?) This is the app. Alfred. You can view the footage from the phone via their web site and your private account with them 4. Can the camera-phone upload the video to a place I choose on the Internet? (For example can it upload to my Google Drive? Yes, you can download and save file locally , then upload them to your Google drive 5. If it can upload, can it delete the videos to make more room for new videos? yes If anybody has any answers to these questions, I'd love to hear about it.

It needs Wifi or a connection to the Internet. The pro version has many more options.

Thank you

Thank you. After Setting up the Alfred account, you may then log into that account from other devices to view the security videos.

It definitely works very well, I have used this successfully.

This is how I used it, yes.

Let me check.. I found it with the words .. "alfred security camera app free" It is in the Android Play Story. But not in the Google Web Store. It is for your phone.

I understand your concern about keeping them charged constantly. While modern smartphones are designed with safety features to prevent such incidents, it's always good to take precautions. Here are a few tips to ensure the safety of your setup: 1. **Use Original Chargers:** Stick to the original chargers or reputable brands to minimize the risk of overheating. 2. **Well-Ventilated Areas:** Ensure that the phones are placed in well-ventilated areas to dissipate any heat generated during charging. 3. **Check Battery Health:** Periodically check the battery health of the phones. If a battery is degrading rapidly, consider replacing it. 4. **Temperature Consideration:** Avoid exposing the phones to extreme temperatures, as both charging and discharging generate heat. 5. **Power Strips with Surge Protection:** Consider using power strips with surge protection to safeguard against electrical surges. 6. **Regular Inspections:** Periodically inspect the phones for any signs of overheating, and if you notice anything unusual, it's wise to temporarily disconnect them. Remember, while charging does generate some heat, the risks are generally low, especially with well-maintained, modern devices. If you're still concerned, you might consider using a smart plug with a timer to schedule charging cycles. Stay tech-savvy and safe!

​@@selmateacher7I can smell chat gpt in this comment from a mile

I have newer videos on products that without a subscription and do not need to be wired, as the security cams are solar powered, as seen here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcumhreQ0aqamqs.html

here is the direct link: play.google.com/store/search?q=alfred+security+camera+app+free&c=apps&hl=en_US&gl=US

Sorry, No, security cameras that rely on WiFi to function need an internet connection in order to transmit footage or images. Without internet access, the cameras will not be able to transmit their footage, and you will not be able to view it remotely.

@@selmateacher7 Thanks for such a fast reply. Looks like a stand alone baby monitor and viewer will have to do. Was hoping to find some camera's that would work on a LAN using a home wifi unit.

Oh wow. Are you 100% sure on that? I just looked up the Samsung S23 ultra, and it seems like a good match.

Ouch. I am sorry to hear that. About restarting the app when the phone starts, open Settings and go to the Application Manager. It should be in "Installed Apps" or "Applications," depending on your device. Select an app from the list of downloaded apps and turn the Autostart option on or off.

@@selmateacher7 i m taking about restarting the phone. How do I made sure the phone starts automatically on powercuts?

yes

ouch. They must have change things recently. Very sad.

Do you mean for the phone to just record and save the videos on the phone, like a trail cam? Yes! You may goto the play store and do a search for "trail cam" There are many apps that record and save the video on the phone without Wifi needed ( after setting up the app)

@@selmateacher7 ok thanks . I live in a very small town in Texas where they have to pipe sunshine in so wifi is rare

@@user-ix1be4ut2b LOL. I would use the trail cam phone app that works, "offline" I found a few at the Google or Play app store that are free and work offline.

I mean a phone with a good working camera.

The video and what I use are both the free versions of this app.

@@selmateacher7 amazing, thank you so much for sharing.

@@selmateacher7 not anymore. You can't see the playback for free

I use the free version.

yes, I made a new video of a security cam that works well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rd-PgLyYsMeqnHk.html

@@selmateacher7 Thanks, I'll take a look... I meant a free service that uses a cell phone as a security cam similar to Alfred.

Thank you for the suggestion. the newer videos has lower volume.
