The more I play with this app, the more I like it. They also seem to have strong support and customer interaction through social media and their web forum. My next "challenge" is to see how I can position and mount the phones so they are easy to deploy and put away since I won't be leaving them up and running full time. In order to keep from needing a power outlet nearby, I may pair each phone with
one of these. I have one already (great piece of kit, btw), so I can test with it. If I can get a solid week of operation, that will be just the ticket for a tactical monitoring solution. I'll build a weatherproof enclosure that holds the phone and battery and provides a better way to mount it all to various surfaces (or allows you to stand it on a flat surface).
Phones
like this provide a cheap camera option, though this specific example lacks a LED flash.
The nice thing is, in a household environment, nobody pays attention to a cellphone in a stand or propped up against a computer monitor. These things will be more discreet than a security camera.
