Simple Surveillance

 Have you ever wondered what to do with that old Android cell phone you have laying around?  

 There are many uses for it. 

 For me the most likely one is to have it monitor my home for me.
I downloaded a free copy of IP Webcam and put that old HTC EVO to use.


This little app works flawlessly and is a very welcome addition to this older piece of equipment that I haven't been using.

It has many settings available so that you can fine tune it to your specifications.


My EVO is now in operation 24/7 and it is helping me to insure that I can web in to see what is happening around the house.

There is an advanced version of the application available too.

I would follow the advice the author has provided in regards to this development:

"Please try Lite version of IP Webcam first. Its only limitations are lack of Tasker integration and customizable user interface.
IP Webcam turns your phone into a network camera with multiple viewing options. View your camera on any platform with VLC player or web browser. Stream video inside WiFi network without internet access."
If you haven't been using your old device for anything, this is one reason to put it back into service.  
IP Webcam just works and works well.  I would highly recommend it.
Cheers

I enjoy writing very much. It is like an escape for me. I write song lyrics and poems etc. frequently. Never once have I relied on AI to write for me.

At this site you can input text to identify whether or not it was created with AI and if it may be suspect to plagiarism.  Check it out. https://www.zerogpt.com/

Got one of these bogus messages today. Thought I would share this information: Apple text message scam  An Apple text message scam is a fraudulent text message that appears to be from Apple, often claiming your Apple ID is compromised, urging you to click a link to update your account details, or requesting sensitive information like your password or credit card number, all with the goal of stealing your personal information; key signs to watch out for include a sender number not clearly identified as Apple, urgent requests for personal details, suspicious links, and a sense of urgency to act immediately.  How to identify an Apple text message scam:  * Sender number: A legitimate Apple message will clearly display "Apple" as the sender, not a random phone number.  * Urgency tactics: Scammers often create a sense of urgency by claiming your account is about to be locked or that you have unauthorized activity.  * Suspicious links: Be cautious of any links in the m...

Hello again, I haven't posted anything here in a while. It seems trivial at times to post continuously. I have been a bit more up to date with my other tech posting page: https://www.facebook.com/RDStinsonTechnology/ Since I do maintain a presence here, I thought it would be good to make a better effort at keeping things up to date. End of boring intro. sigh.. Much has been going on and my business has been good lately.  I am thankful for opportunities to help others with their needs. It is rewarding and healthy. The tech world has certainly been busy. I suppose the most popular subject lately has been centered around Apple and their encryption techniques. I most certainly agree with the stance Apple has taken.  The idea of any organization, public or private, proposing to forcefully engage in altering a product that is being developed and sold to customers legally and putting their security at risk is preposterous to me. What a quandary this is. Could resource...
