How to use old Android phone as webcam surveillance security?

[Hashiriya415]

I would like to use my nexus 6 to see what's happening at home when I'm away. Any app suggestion? Website with guide?

Have you explored Wyze ($20) camera's or Eufy 2k Indoor ($27-on sale) cameras? Both are wireless and powered by USB. Connect to wifi and they both send alerts depending on motion type. Eufy has a very nice app. They both support local storage (recommended). I use them around my property. I do not monitor the inside of my home, just the outside parameter and they both work wonderfully.
