Apple users please note: With the newest version 2019, anything under iOS 8 has difficulties supporting all of Alfred’s awesome features, they had to set the minimum at iOS 8. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I was literally about to take several old electronics items for recycling - including an old Iphone 8 plus - and within 20 mins I got it working as a security camera - the wife was very impressed ! So a big thank you & to anybody thinking of doing this - hell yes it really is that easy - download free software and turn on both phone - just amazing.
I am glade you found it useful.
I think I just watched one of the greatest most simple and most calming TH-cam video I ever watched in my life just from watching this video I can say you are a great guy this is awesome I can not wait to download app ! Thank you.
Thank you. I love teaching and helping others get the most out of technology.
Just installed an old Samsung Galaxy in the chicken house to keep an eye on the chicks. Simple, quick and excellent results. Thanks for the tutorial Mr. Berry.
thank you for this so much. I searched on google, and saw this video, and as soon as I saw it was your video, I just downloaded the app, without a moment's hesitation.
Again thank you.
I made a second video for this topic. In that video, I show you how to save the videos made with Alfred Home Security. Here is the link:
th-cam.com/video/-eQby-sEBcI/w-d-xo.html
Update 2021: The app's full name is "AlfredCamera Home Security." I just installed Alfred Home Security on my Samsung phone. I used it as a camera and set it up. After a few minutes the screen went blank. I viewed the live feed from my PC and it works as a camera, even when the screen is off. So this app works on a phone even when the screen is blank.
Can you use this without a Google account? I don't want the CIA having access to my CCTV live stream...
No, it uses the Google Account for security reasons. Thank you for the question. Were you able to install this on the iPhone? I had installed the earlier version on older iPhones. as seen in the video. By now, the Alfred Security app has been updated and may need a newer iOS than 8. here is a link: alfred.camera/forum/search?q=iphone.
With the newest version, anything under iOS 8 has difficulties supporting all of Alfred’s awesome features, they had to set the minimum at iOS 8.
Alfred as far as I know REQUIRES internet which can be a serious security flaw! If internet gets cut or interference with internet, then you loose recording ability... If cellular signal is used and loss of signal from a storm, then even mother nature would ruin your security camera.
selmateacher7 - Daniel Berry hello I just sent a public reply. Would you be able to help direct me plz?
selmateacher7 - Daniel Berry is this just for android phones? I have 2 iPhones and two androids I would like to connect to this and I have an hp laptop and a MacBook that I can hook up but most likely may use the hp laptop so that I can leave it at home as a base and wanted to check up on it using my current iPhone that I am using. I looked on the App Store and there’s no app that looks like that. Is that just for Android? Btw- I subscribed and gave you a thumbs up and saved your videos
Thankyou. I just moved into a new flat and had been looking for such a feature. this is great.
10 seconds in and i can tell you are a decent guy! Great presenting style and video!
Thank you. I am a teacher who works with all ages (K-12 plus adult) and I simply wish to help others use their technology to the fullest.
Agree.
Great stuff Daniel. So nice to have a real teacher teaching me....even in my dodage. Enjoy learning about chromebooks and use mine a lot due to it's portability, speed and simplicity. They are getting better and better, new screens are incredible.....as on my Samsung Pro. Thanks so much for your time and effort.
Do you use a VPN when you're out and about?
Brilliant, and do so easy to set up. Thank you.
ALFRED IS THE BOMB! AND YOU EXPLAINED IT WELL!
Finally an instructor that keeps it simple. Thank you Sir!!
You're welcome.
@@selmateacher7
Yes you are Great!!! Could i use the oldphonesecuritycamera into my car to see whats happen during the night?
@@viplivesmatter Yes.
@@selmateacher7
And what about Wi-Fi? Should I use an hotspot into the car?
@@viplivesmatter If you are unable to connect to any other wifi, then yes, you could use the hotspot.
This is an awesome idea !! Today it seems that bad things to happen. Using old cell phones gives them a great purpose and us a little more peace of mind. Wonderful video !! Keep up the good work !! :)
Great and simple, just installed Alfred (they changed their Logo) on 3 oldies I had sitting around out here in Caracas. Works fine for now, lots of experimenting to go. Thanks and take care !!
Great to hear!
also i have to say this was SO easy because you made it so easy and i cant thank you enough sweetie
Nothing short of outstanding! Thanks 🙏
thank you Daniel for a great tutorial.
I just added it to two phones and it's working perfectly Thank You !!
is it still free with two phones?
@@carlyoung8657 Yes
Hi, thank you, what a great tutorial, very well put.
Great video, thanks!
Going to dig out my old phone now....
Can u use a old phone that's not online?.. I have 2 old phones in my junk drawer
What an AWESOME, CLEAR, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT instructional video! Kudos to you for such excellence explaining things!
Thank you for saying that. I hope you subscribe and enjoy my newest videos
Thank you so much for taking the time out, so calmly and informative !! Great, useful information!!
You're welcome.
Been having problems with home security...until now. I just remembered I have two galaxy Note 2s to start my security system. I am so excited I prolly won't be able to sleep tonight.
Those will work well.
First rate content and presentation. Well done!
I was at "Dollar tree" and they have a standing charger for android phones for $1. Only disadvantage is you can't have a phone case on it, the connector is not long enough to reach all the way because its flat, but looks perfect for this. You might have to add a wedge under it to aim the camera it sits at about a 75 degree angle.
Thank you for the information
Thank you Brother. Great video!
This is so awesome. It works for tablets as well. This is amazing. Thank you so much!!!!!
Bruh. Dont even need this anymore. Still going to share this awesome video. About to sub too. Great job. Great voice
Thank you for the comment.
Thanks for posting. I just installed on old android phone and set up. Works great. Now I can see when deliveries/mail arrives without having to leave my office. Very convenient.
I am always happy to help.
Loved the idea of using a cup as a phone holder 👍🤓
Thank you for the comment 👍
Thanks. I will be using this.
Excellent tutorial on how to set up and use Alfred. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the comment. I enjoy using this free app for home security.
Thank you for the video !!
BEST VIDEO ON THIS! YOU ROCK!!!!!
Great! just what I was looking for! Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
You're welcome. Please enjoy my newer videos.
Thanks for the great info. Now I have a use for my old phone instead of recycling.
I am happy it helped.
Great information and presentation. Thanks!
Thank you
Wow. How did I not know about this sooner? And did you know that you can disable the camera and turn it on remotely when you are not home? Yeah. There's a settings button on the top left corner on the camera (the one listed in viewer, not the actual camera). Then just click the toggle button on the top right. Now I don't need to pay ADT $57 every month. Thank you so much.
I am always happy to help.
How clever, clever, clever. Who would have thought that those old android phones would have a use other than as a "brick." This video should inspire anyone to try and set up your own security system for "free" using old android phones. I'm always amazed at Selma Teacher 7 and his creative ways to make use of technology. AAAAA+
I was in the market for a home security system. One of my neighbors spent thousands of dollars installing one in his home, yet it does the same things, i.e. records and notifies me when it detects movement in the house. I think the Alfred Security App is great and it does have a paid version that removes the ads.
I set up my Alfred home security system and camouflaged the smartphone cameras as plates, books, etc so they melted into our home's decor quite nicely.
I've been doing this for a while to try to catch the cats doing things. Like I've been trying to catch who's peeing on the floor! Lol!
I just remembered I also did this to monitor my 3D printer while I was at work. And I put it on Facebook watch so that people could watch it print. Lots of uses for old phones! Not just music players!
I had a feeling this was possible! Glad to know I was right lol
It is always a good feeling to be right.
wow this is so simple to set and works great
Thank you for the comment. I always try my best to help. I am using this right now to watch my front door area and it rings my phone before the person even touches the door bell. So, it is very fast in showing motion detection.
@@selmateacher7 I am using it in same way, and it does start recording immediately!
I got a puppy and he will stay at home alone from Monday so I really need this in order to check how he's doing. I will try to install everything tomorrow. Thanks a lot. Great tip, so nicely done explanation.
I am happy it helped.
@@selmateacher7 It really helped, everything worked perfectly well today. We tested it, went an hour and a half out, he was OK and we could check all the time what he is doing. We will start using it from tomorrow. every day. Thanks again.
@@moonze1769 I am happy to hear that it is working for you
Superb teacher and instructor you would be if not already! Do another! Thanks.
Thank you very much . Check out my channel there are many.
THANKS
*_Probably the best App ever invented. Alfred says that the phone charger can be left connected on an ongoing basis. Surely this will destroy your battery over a short period of time or worse still cause a fire. I've started using a timer to come on and off to recharge the battery while the App is working._*
My phones never became that hot, even when left on for an entire summer of testing with this app in a hot house in California. Batteries still work well after 3 months of testing. Thank you for the comment.
@@selmateacher7 As an add on ..I can talk to Alexa from the App while away from home..i.e."Tell Guard Dog to Guard"
Good idea. Must try this. Thanks!!!!!!
Yes, we are using this right now. Works perfectly. Whenever their is motion, my phone tells me.
Hi, it has a new name Alfred Camera and a new logo , an orange and white box house image but it works very well although the upgrade is really expensive . I can put up with a few ads for the rare occasions I would use it . I must say , it connects to another phone with the same log in details super fast . Thanks for the demo
Thanks for the info!
You should mention, the free version lacks a lot of features such as HD, zoom options, two way audio and more. The free version is still decent none the less. For storage, those of you worried about storage, you can setup your android devices to auto backup to google/cloud which will also back up the videos recorded by this app (helpful if the device used as the camera is stolen, cause without a backup or the device you lose your videos) you can set it up to record via motion detection or you can manually hit record from your PC or cell phone you use to view the camera(s) there is also an alarm feature built into Alfred, that lets you sound an alarm via the cells speakers at the loudest it can go "isn't extremely loud, but nice option none the less". You will notice sometimes, when you go to view your camera. It will say "camera is asleep/offline" then has a button you push to wake it up, note that sometimes this fails and a manual wake up is required.
With that said, this is an excellent choice for a cheap home security, but isn't as reliable as systems made strictly for doing so.
Thank you for the information. True , this is not 'nest' or 'ring.'
@Joe said "isn't as reliable as systems made strictly for doing so"
Not to mention everything goes through Big Brother Google
What's worse, this or Alexa?
Revolutionary, thank you!

Also I noticed this app has really great reviews. Like a lot of really great ones, so I was wondering more about the safety
Interesting. I think I wrote up a really good review for them too. I had no problems with safety or hacked accounts.
@@selmateacher7 one question can more viewer's come in one camera and 2 viewer for example?

Glad I could help. Please subscribe.
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
Thank you
Great clear video. Liked the coffee mug and sock to hold the camera... how can you set it to send email with picture upon motion detection?
Whenever there was motion detected, my phone that was with me, would chirp, letting me know that the phone that had been set as the camera detected motion and recorded an event. My PC would also show the notification that an event was recorded. To make it do that, make sure that you are logged into the same google account on all your devices. Thank you for the comment and question.
Thank you si much, very well explained, God bless
Thank you
was nice and simple to installed
Awesome to hear.
Thank you!
I am always happy to help.
_Great presentation. I've been using this App for a few weeks now and it's probably one of the best Apps. I've ever come upon. I have just one query...leaving my phone plugged in over a long period while I'm away leaves me slightly worried. We are often told not to even leave a phone plugged in overnight while charging.. Alfred App. says to leave the phone plugged in permanently....Wondering have you anything further to add on this topic..._
i've read somewhere that the battery stress level is when it's at around 80% to 100% capacity, if the battery is frequently used at stress level, the capacity gonna reduce overtime. well its an old phone anyway. maybe you can use an app to stop charging at certain percentage. try 'Battery Charge Limit' (need root)
Thank you for staying the obvious that you need wi-fi. I just wasted ten minutes on someone else’s video who never mentioned that.
I am unplugged except for my phone.
I always try my best to help.

Hi I love your vid..I am going to follow your suggestions..question: Alfred would like to view and see chat messages ..is this secure for me to do?
I selected 'yes,' because this allows the app to send the photos and video to my phone.
Thank you for the complement.
@happywife for kids LOL
Hello I have a question... I looked on my App Store and there’s no apps that look like that one. Yellow with the man in the front. I do see some that say Alfred home security camera but they look different. Could you plz direct me to the right one. Again, I see none that look like the one that you posted
Thank you for the question. They may have updated their icon. Alfred Home Security is the correct name.
thanks
You're welcome!
Cool. Who would have guessed?
Thank you
Thank you thank you thank you so much..I live in a recovery home, and Everytime I leave my house to go to counseling or my NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS MEETING'S, it always feels as though someone has been in my room,. Living in a recovery home we are not allowed to have locks on our doors, but we do have single rooms, but I always feel like someone has invated my space when I get back.so I'mma set up my old smart phone as a camera and bust the little bastard that thinks he's clever...thank you again.. double thumbs up in Washington state.
Thank you for the comment. Yes I use this in my home too.
I have to tell you I went ahead and took all your suggestions and downloaded the app hooked up my spare phone and I actually got it set up with the motion detector as a security camera. I seriously got a thank you for your video and for taking the time out of your day to help people like me. I am a recovering heroin addict I have been clean for 10 months out of 19 and a half years of active use. And it's a struggle everyday to stay on the righteous path, so it hurts my heart when other people in my position are supposed to be striving for a better future, but they're reverting back to their old ways. And I might not have much, but I have my will, My Hope, my drive, my family, my health, and my higher power to keep me on the path of recovery, so thank you again I sincerely do appreciate it. Much respect to you, and your future endeavors.
Thank you for the comments, I hope all goes very well for you.

Thank you to mimic guttbussa so to speak. U r Great. I will be able to see who come to my office desk to pick their nose and take my engineering report all the time , if they don't steal all my dwg or look among stuff that does not regard them
I always try to help. I have other videos on this app too.. Thank you for the comment.
great video but don't have an old cell hanging around, I'll buy a cheapo. do I have to have any minutes or data for the phone?
No, as long as it connects to your wifi, it will be okay.
Great video. Thanks.
I want to position the phone under the roof overhang. There is no 110v power available for a cellphone charger.
Is there an inexpensive solar panel that could keep the battery topped-up during the day that you'd recommend?
It would also have to have enough power to keep the phone from shutting-off at night due to battery draining.
Does Alfred.Camera have a timer function that would turn off the camera at preset time span.
I don't need to watch my puppy outside in the dark.
Thanks, Jim
Thank you for the questions.

I am unsure about the timer, as it is a very low draw and only records when there is movement.
Does the viewer have to be open like my computer to have my set up work properly? Great video!
Thank you for the positive comment. No, the viewer does not need to be on in order for it to record. It sends the video to your video folder within the Alfred Home security app. You may view them anytime, on your phone or PC.
Thanks for the comment. I have smart phones I'd like to use I just can't seem to figure it out? I have an intruder I want to catch! The phones in question I can't seem to get them connected to the home internet.
@@marykrigbaum9021 Thank you for the question. On those older phones, you would go into settings. From there I would look for network and make sure that the WiFi is turned on. Then I would select the local WiFi network that you want to connect to, key in the SSID's password and it should then be connected. If you let me know which model number, I could give more detailed steps, but basically those are the steps. Android phones do come with WiFi, but often times, you will need to enable or turn on the WiFi and then connect to your SSID, (Home WiFi Network) I hope you find success and get a video of that intruder! But Seriously, you have someone trespassing on your land? That is indeed scary. You may wish to inform your local law enforcement, just in case these intruders want to do more than just trespass. In fact, come to think about it, I would strongly recommend that you let your local law enforcement know of this trespassing activity (for your own safety).
I have a gmail account isn't that my Google account? thanks
@@marykrigbaum9021 Speaking of trespassing... You should you one of your own Gmail or Google accounts, if possible.
Hi Daniel. I have a question for a different application. I have a antique car. They mostly are stolen by tow trucks. Phones be set up for live streaming using wifi from other stations, similar to lets say using wifi at
My Tesla does that. I just open my Tesla app, on my phone, select Sentry, live view, and I can see what the car sees from it's many cameras. I can even talk through the external speakers. Now to set up something like that on your car, we would need at least 4 cameras or phones that are running Alfred Security. These phones need to be connected to the internet, either by their own service provider or through a hotspot. It is possible, in fact, OwlCam makes those setups for cars: owlcam.com/
Hi Mr Berry, John Berry here :)... This is a great tutorial thank you , Can I ask a question please, is there any way of getting notification alerts to my phone when motion is detected? Thanks again John :) I have liked and subscribed :)
Thank you. When I tested this app out, I remember receiving notifications on my phone that was with me in Japan on events that were happening in the US.
@@selmateacher7 Okay thanks for the reply 😎 have a nice day ☺
It's it sends alerts when motion is detected. It lets you view a clip or view live. I have my motion detection set on high so I get quite a few notifications but i don't mind
Just today I was watching here on YOU-Tube some security cameras info. Looking to the menu to the right I see many articles and found yours, this is a good idea since most people have extra cellphones and to be put to a good use is indeed an excellent idea. Absolutely thank you for the video, by the way would there be an app that two cellphones could communicate with each other w/out WiFi, just by using Bluetooth that could be portable? Uhmm, I wonder?
Try MeshMe to communicate with two phones without Wifi.

Great video, very simple and concise. I keep getting a "pop-up" on my PC about every 30 seconds asking me to upgrade. (at a cost of $2.99/month) If I don't take the "upgrade" will this interfere with the security camera activating and recording?
No, it does not interfere. In fact, I have always used the basic version.
I'm only seeing the live video feed. I can manually start and stop recording or take a snapshot. It's not recording with motion detection. Is it something I need to activate?

Thank you for the awesome comment.
Daniel. The video quality (on the PC) looks low. Is this because of the cameras on the phones? Or do they compress the video?
The free version, that I am using does have lower video quality, but I am using older phones with thus app too. The newer phone cameras should look better.. Thank you for the question.
@@selmateacher7 And thanks for your reply.
Struggling a bit with the install of the Alfred Home Security App. I am using an iMac and an iPhone 4s. As I am downloading to the phone, I get a screen asking to choose a device. Of the choices, I don't see any that suit the need. One is selected and it is a media streaming device, so I don't see it as a likely pick. Any suggestions?
The app will ask you what you wish that device to be.. ether part of the security cameras or the device that you want to watch the other cameras with. I normally use the laptop or computer as the devices that watch and the phones as the cameras. I hope this helps. Thank you for the comment.
So the phone that are being used for the camera. Have to be on as far as service ?? I dint know you could just put ur emil in ur old phones that you don't use anymore?
The app can be closed, then you can do other things with the phone. Yes, the phone needs to be on for the service, but the screen may go to 'sleep mode.'
Can you put a sym so just using data from the phone when requesting.tgts if you don't have internet at home etc
I believe the app sends the data to your Alfred account. It saves it there first, then later you can review and download onto a sym.
Can you see from another location remotely? Thank you
Yes. I was on my trip in Japan and was able to watch my house in the USA.
i got some questions please.
1.how does the motion sensor triggers?(i dont think smartphones have passive infrared pointing out)
2.does it warn u when motion is captured?
thank you
Thank you for your questions:
1 motion sensor triggers work with the phone's camera. When there is motion in the field of view of the camera, the camera starts recording or 10 seconds or until there is no motion. The camera is only picking up visible light, The "low light" mode is seeing in very low light, not infrared. It warns the user when it detects motion.
Q 3.can the camera phone work without wifi? (I tried it and its stuck in "logging in")
Q4. Will hooking a power bank on the camera phone, keep it for some days or charging stops the app?
Q5. If the camera phone shuts the app can it be rerun from far?
I never tried it without WiFi. I believe a WiFi connection is needed.
I plug mine into the wall , so it stays charged. Charging does not stop the app.
I have turned on the app remotely.
I used this while I was in Japan and it was nice seeing every room covered. The phone in the Attic shut down from the summer heat and I could not get to that one device remotely. The others worked well.
one question can i make my macbook a camera too// id love to leave my macbook open on my desk and use my othr iphone as a device i can view all of my cameras on while im away from home. any help that you can offer would be great as ive been dealing with a petty thief thats been stealing from me
I did used my Chromebook as a camera, so I believe that this is possible.
Thanks to Daniel, not forgetting Alfred
I agree great video you seem like a very nice guy can you tell me does this work on Android phones
Yes, I used both Android and Apple phones to test this. In the long term use (6 months), I used older Android cellphones. Thank you for the comment. Please sub and enjoy my other videos on technology, EVs, Chromebooks, Windows PCs, and more.
