Just had a thought about using an old Android mobile phone as a motion detecting camera and using WIFI to send photos or video to on line storage or something like that.

Leave it plugged in to a charger and hidden out the way.

Any body tried it or got any thoughts?

Can easily do it – various apps that will take video when motion sensed and email it to you / upload it etc.

I’ve got a wireless shed alarm, which at least means if anyone is in, we get a bing bong if the shed is opened.

If you have an old laptop hanging around, there are probably way more cunning and nuanced things for PC though.
