How to do it
If you’re like me, you have at least one old smartphone laying around or have a friend who would readily give you one.
Why not breathe a little life into it and replace the tech in the bay next to you?
Dorman’s Lead Cameraman, Blake Adam, is a wizard behind the lens. We cut him loose with an old phone to see what he could do. He tried a few apps, and the one he settled on as “the best” at the time of this writing was Alfred, though to be honest, I think many nanny cam apps would probably work just fine.
He downloaded a few apps, which I assume you know how to do, and then just had to sort out a way to mount the phone and pair it up to the new one. The longest time you’ll spend on this project is probably finding a good spot to mount the phone so the camera angle shows what you want it to.
Honestly, it couldn’t be easier, as you can see in this video he shot and cut.
