WardenCam is a handy app that turns any old phone or tablet into a home security camera. It can help you protect your family and maintain records of everything that happens around your home.

There is nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night to an unexplained noise. You never know if it's one of your pets getting in the trash or someone trying to break into your home. With this app, you can now get an eye on what's going on inside or outside and see whether you need to call the police or scold your pets. This app is compatible with most Android devices and can turn one that you no longer need into a surveillance camera.

Designed to work with WiFi, WardenCam will also work with an LTE network or a network that uses 4G or 3G. This gives you the choice between hooking up a phone that is already on your network or using an old phone that you connect to your home's internet. It comes with free storage and will send video feeds to the cloud. You can also have the content sent to a Dropbox account or to your Google Drive account. This lets you log in the next morning or later in the day to view the video recorded by the camera. Many people also like that this feature allows them to keep an eye on their homes when they're on vacation or at home.

Capable of working on its own, this app creates a simple security camera that you can set up anywhere in or out of your home. You can aim it right at your front door or use it inside. It has a talk feature that lets you talk through the device too. This feature comes in handy when you need to let a delivery man know you're on your way or when you want to tell a neighbor to come back later. It can also work with other cameras and create a full home security system.

WardenCam comes with many features that you can use during the night or day too. It has a night vision camera that can track the movements of those outside your home and a motion detection feature that picks up on any movements near the camera. Not only can you view recorded videos at a later date, but you can view a live stream through the camera whenever you want. While some users did have problems with dropped connections, most found that WardenCam offered a convenient way to use old devices.
