Turn your old Android smartphone into a remote controlled camera with this app. Use it to monitor your small children or pets while you are away. Use it to keep an eye on your backyard. Control the camera to monitor your home when you aren't there. Very easy to use. Access your phone camera from anywhere as long as you have internet access. All images are sent to your registered e-mail address and all personal information is stored locally.
