Thanks for checking this video out. I found all my old phones while doing some house cleaning and figured they should be put to use. If you are looking for links to the apps that were used, I am pasting them below this message. If you have any other app suggestions, let everyone know!

HouseholdHacker First Reply 😜😂
I actually use this app, it's pretty good, minus the ads but hey it free! (Alfred)
Cool
give them to me i don't have a phone :(
I don't have a phone Someone Stole my phone
I'm watching this on a tablet
“Man, we sure picked the right house to rob. Look, there’s phones everywhere!”
Good one man. Ha.
Love!
*There are
Ahahahaha!! Hilarious!
Underrated
If someone broke into my home looking for money, I’d probably help them look.
Hassan DM HAHAHHAHA
Lmao
Hassan DM That's by far the greatest comment mate, made my day 😂😂
LMAO 😂 😆 🤣
Old joke is old
extra hack, buy a fisheye lens for each phone, isnt more than a few bucks each and they mean you can cover a lot more area with the same camera
Very good idea!
They are £1 which is awesome
Jamie Hobbs awesome! !
Yes but you will lose detail
Nick N true , better off with a wide angle lens.
Wow your old phones are better than my current phone
SSJHarambe so true his old phone was s7 and iphone 7 .-.
SSJHarambe..Mine too...LOL
they wont really be old phones he will just be demonstrating with them
Don’t worry guys.. I hope/pray u all can buy/get a iPhone X very soon.. so u don’t feel bad about it..👍
Peace Lover why iphone x when you can buy a Huawei P20 which is even better for half the price?
If you're worried about overcharged batteries starting fires, plug the power adapter into a timer like the ones people use to turn on lights when they go on vacation.
I recently purchased a security system from Ebay. To my surprise, it was a 2G GSM transmitter to alert my cell phone anywhere in the world, however AT&T no longer uses 2G, and the alarm was worthless as a long range transmitter, and Only an expensive local alarm. Alfred and an old cell is PERFECT! Thank you so much. The alarm is to protect our R.V., when we are not in it, but want video evidence for prosecution.
2:53 "glorious hole"
Yes. And you need to plug in your power cable.
Came to the comments as soon as he said that

I caught that and wondered if the reference was ligit AND the real reason for the tutorial. Lol.
+Jesses T me too 😂😂😂
Jesses T: same. Lol
Awesomeness hands down. Thank you very much for posting this video. You sir have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work.
Finding out those little plastic things are called "pizza savers" was the most useful information in this video.
I use alfred on my old samsung. It works perfectly. I ended up returning a wifi camera that I bought for $40.
Loved this video idea. I recommend to my clients to purchase webcam/ security cameras to watch their disabled parents when they are at work and this gives me more ideas to give them
You will need to ask the NSA if you can use your phone's camera while they are using it.
💀💀💀
Hahaha
Nice. ..
Right!
Thank you Dylan.
this is one of the most helpful videos in UA-cam.
Thank You sooo much for this video! It really helped out a lot! Keep up the amazing work!
Great stuff!
I need to try this
Great idea!
First 😁
Ty, I was just discussing this with my mother earlier today, and talking about how expensive it is to do it through a security company but the necessity of it in my room, lol. Ty, you just simplified this for me. Now I just have to come up with a spare fone. Tyfs, God bless you
This is gold ! Thanks for the upload !
I love presence they also have a device where you can dock the phone and have it on a motion platform to move the phone for you. I also use their door sensors
"how to turn your old phone into a security camera" *uses Galaxy s7 edge*
Good video though!
its 2018 already
so its pretty old...
I'm literally watching this on an s7 edge I bought a few days ago for 200 bucks
kenny ben or maybe he has an upgrade plan, like how most people with new model phones do...
Sounds like the whitest of privileges to me...
kenny ben
This was really impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this AWESOME video!!!!
Great idea, good video, but you never mentioned how to view it remotely or if the phone needs a memory card, internal memory minimums, etc. If you can, could you please make a video on the specifics. Thank you
Best bro we need the OG HOUSEHOLD HACKER PLZ TRY TO UPLOAD EVERY WEEK THE BEST
I've known about this idea for a while, but you did a great job on this video anyway!
Been doing this over a year and works like a charm.
DARK VADER i did tgis thing in my house and roleplayed FNAF when it was popular and not dead.. ahh, memories(btw im not a small 10 years old)
I think you glossed over an aspect of this topic, all the discussions of using an old functioning phone, but to do what you say, you would also need an account for that phone. I had read years ago that you can configure a phone to be controlled remotely by another phone, so if the two phones are within Bluetooth range, you can video with one phone, and get the picture remotely.
Some things you should mention
1. Alfred has a free mode with ads in a very cheap paid mode which is ad-free.
2. The phone still need restarted about once a week to keep them running proper.
3. It's wise to use an auto run program to reinitiate the camera software every 2 hours this prevents freezing and keeps it working well
I used to run the free version of Alfred, but didn't like the lag, ads or resolution. Then switched to the free version of AtHome (the app he deleted at the beginning of the video) and it is better in every way. Sharper, better framerate, more responsive, and less obtrusive ads.
Thanks for this! FANTASTIC idea!
That's a pretty cool idea. I dont really need security cameras but I did think it would work nicely for a cheap video moniter!
This should be titled how to let a third party survey my entire household at any time and know when to break in
M P smartest comment in the whole thread! People are sheep!
I actually use a similar method to monitor my back entrance until I get new cameras. Not like nobody is already monitoring me and I live in an area where the more immediate concern is getting to my gun before someone gets up my stairs! Big brother isn't going anywhere because sheeple are stupid.
Factz
Right who really are we needing protection from?
Thats why every angle and grid tied and non tied systems with muiltpul carriers would be adviseable.
s7 = old phone and i'm still using s6
Sanjay Gaire - I'm using an S5, so what does that make me?
60namrruC It make you my comrade. Who needs an iPhone 7 when you have your trusty 5s
Sanjay Gaire same here
S3 here
S5? I'm still, reliably on S4.
So useful! Thank you
Great demo! Thanks!
hello police, there's someone cutting a pineapple in my home and I didn't buy any pineapples
2:18 always wondered who broke into my house and cut up the pineapple, thanks
John Nashmy
Such an underrated comment. That's okay. I give you props (whatever *that's* worth 😂)
He was watching a youtube video of the pineapple while demonstrating the push notif function
This is awesome!
Thank you for sharing✌💛☺
I just installed this app (Presence) on my 2 androids and it works awesome, one older phone I'll use as camera and put it in front of the house hidden ofc, and new phone as a "watcher" with me ..you can also change any time which camera to watch, front or rear (on camera phone) if you put it in position to look 2 sides on your property, as I did
Why the hell didn’t I think of this?!?!? Was looking for a quick easy way to monitor my 95 year old father-in-law that we care for and who lives with us. That old man is sneaky and does shit he knows he’s not suppose to do....PERFECT! 👌...THANK YOU for the great 💡 idea!!!
Good idea! You could turn on the sound and scare the crap out of him!
95?, Wow he's lucky to have even lived so long.
The dislikes are from people who were going to break into someones house until they saw this
There are alot of videos on this topic and out of all those videos i clicked urs because i know you stuff is legit, keep being real :)
U just saved me from losing a ton of sleep. Thank you for making this video
2:54 " ...the glorious hole."
3:34 "...get your box into a position that can see
who's coming..."
👍🏻 Bravo 👍🏻
Hahahaha i too caught those!!!
1:10 WTF, S7 Edge is MY ACTUAL phone!!
Awesome tutorial and I like your commentary! LOL. Nice!
This is a great idea. I only keeep devices that still work and I turn off all locks on my devices before I store them away so I never have to worry about what pin is what.
Be sure to inspect the old phones for heat or swelling which are signs of potential fire danger from the old batteries.
1. Mark a spot on the box.
2. Cut a hole in DAT BOX.
3. Put your phone in the box, and that's the way you do it baby!
Thanks for this idea..it's big help..more power
This is possibly the most useful UA-cam video I have ever watched
Man this guy had alot of old phones
from home burglaries no doubt.
suddenly i appreciate my old phone...
Great site! Love this story, too!
Here's the problem... I stopped using my old phones because they can't download apps anymore..... RIP.... Other than that, this is a great video!!! Keep up the good work! I'm gonna share this video with my friends because I found it very helpful. I think I'll end up using this is the future.
I've done something like this when waiting for a UPS truck so I can see them coming and sometimes they leave packages and leave.
I used a different app though.
Which app?
Fucks we give: all
What app
Master0fHyrule ii
Master0fHyrule yo
Good video
ur profile pic is cancer
I used Alfred...may be the simpliest app I ever set up and works great
WOW, this is a really useful video, thanks very much. I've recently had to repair my car and stood my old bumper armature next to the garage. In the last few days I was going to take it to the tip, but guess what? A family of Blue Tits has taken up residence in one of the cavities!! So I'm going to use this technique to set up an 'observation camera'. Brilliant!
Thanks for showing folks the proper phone orientation (landscape) when recording video!
**JUST SAY NO TO VERTICAL VIDEO!!!**
nice!
if only i had some old phones
djdrago29 Green checked conure lol
djdrago29
Go to garage sales, that's where I get mine.
Now THIS is what I subscribed for!
Definitely going to set up a few of these around the property,I was looking at a system that was going to cost me almost 1500 for 6 cameras.
when the phone you use is already old
I use flip phones...might be a bit more complicated. Good idea though.
Jesse Sisolack you can tell with the Avi.
Cheap phones don't have Bluetooth or WiFi, you would have to save the video internally. Probably not enough storage for videos.
My cheap LG flip phone from the late 90s has Bluetooth. I find it hard to believe there are many phones that do not have that if mine has it.
You don't need Bluetooth, I have an old flip phone wired to a motion sensing spotlight by my back door. When the spotlight clicks on my phone gets a call. You can set different ring tones for different locations so you know what door or window is being tampered with.
How are you watching UA-cam then?
Outstanding video. More of these please.
i like the glory hole one best !
Overheating of a continuously plugged phone might burst into flames and the carton box or wooden walls might serve as fuel. So that when you return home, there’s no more home to go back to.😆
It might be a good consideration.
Gerard Francis Furto At least you’d get to watch it happen! 😆
Wooow what a great idea. Thanks!
This was a very good step by step video guide who in the world would thumbs down it. Just can't please some people.
is the cost of cloud storage a problem?
you can get free cloud storage, try dropbox
Am i the only one who use to them pizza saver as tables when younger? no okay...
Joyce
Wow, you just brought me back to 5 years old.
My granddaughter uses these to make miniature tables for her doll houses.
Not sure what you said🤔
Good ideas. Thanks for sharing
This is actually a really good Idea 😁!!! Xx
I tried this with an iphonePoor and the quality was so bad and laggy. That phone is just TOO old.
ha ... get a newer one
your wifi connection there is probably very bad i doubt its the phone
Hell my shotgun shells on trip wires eliminate the need for all that tech ...I have no mole problems either !
Me neither. Country boys beat computer nerds hands down.
Works like a charm!
I just now tried it that was a great idea thank you so much
An iPhone 7 or Galaxy S7 are expensive phones to use for something like this, a decent indoor ip camera runs for about £25-50 on amazon which might be a better option
Don't forget to mention that you need sim cards and respective accounts for each old phone that you want to use as a camera with cloud storage
Joshua Fawcett try wyze cam
you forget, that this is about using the WiFi feature... which therefore does not need any SIM.
Now, I have only used Alfred (with 6 Samsung phones as Cams. Never used the other App as yet.
Alfred comes Free, which is why there are heaps of Ads. Subscription eliminates ALL Ads.
Alfred can be Subscribed to (which I recently did too) although if you go Free, the system does all the basic Motion Detection; low light; 2 way audio; and a more recent new feature, the Alarm bell that you can send back to the Cam phone.
The advantages of going the extra and Subscribing:
Cloud Storage increases from 7 days, up to 30 days.
Image quality goes up from the basic 6408480, up to HD when suscribed.
Subscription in Aust for example is about $30 per year.
The glorious hole? 😂
🤔
Glory hole 😅
That sound like a porn site LOL
Cool hack! Ty
best household hacker ep ive seen in aaaages 😍
I feel kind of bad that these phones were once like $700 devices, and now were using then like this 😂
That would be a great use for the kids out of date phones with cracked screens!
Really Helpful
What a cool idea thank you
“Glorious hole”
Giggity!!
"Glorious hole" I see what you did there...
Nitro i don't get it
1Dollaro inContanti
Oh boy
Swashbuckling Adventures
Ha!
Saved tons of cash with this. Ty so much
great idea as usual
AKA how to set up a shower cam :3
Why didn’t I think of that?
It would get *Wet*
Not a good idea, the steam will cover the camera lens and fog wont show you much
@@dvrkplayer Unless you rub some shaving cream on it and wipe it dry! Its a cheap anti-fog lmbo
Yeah i have like few old IPHONE X's laying around...
Tomas Gaming it's just for demo purpose.... Use some common sense.
mixwell1983 He could been using an older phone because other wise it makes no sense.
mixwell1983 It was a joke sir
Everyone who uses iPhone ought to, they become obsolete every half year...
Awsome vedio household hacker
Can you make a list of study life hacks ..
Keep rocking
You can also attach one of those clip on Wide-angle lenses to gain a better view 👌🏽
Sweet, I can use this to find out who is living in my attic.
"the glorious hole"
Yes. He just said that.
And have a PVR to record footage
glad i'm not the only one who noticed!
Just set mine up it was so easy!
This would work great for ride sharing as well. Thanks!
Why is there a dining table in the bedroom?
Good question! That’s actually a guest room, the table is there so my guests have a work area when they stay over.
Next life hack video "Use this one simple trick to turn a bedroom into a dining room... You won't believe what happens next!" xD
There are three meals.
Dinner
Lunch
Bedfast
Guy's gotta eat.
