The "bad ESN" LG's mentioned in the article appear to be $15 including shipping now; you can get a lot more for the $35 cost of a zero + camera module.
The Android app mentioned does not appear to specifically try to be compatible with the Echo Show yet.
- bengyusf 9y agoI'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I use Manything with my old phones. Its not free* or very hacker friendly, but it's simple and straightforward. * It does offer free streaming, but recording is $2.99/month
- otterpro 9y agoThis is a great idea - turning used cell phones into super-cheap IP cameras. I'd probably want to get cheap wide-angle lens adapters ($1 each), and use phone case ($1) to mount it on the wall/ceiling. Another idea is to use selfie-cam/front facing camera, so that the video is visible all the time, as it might be a deterrent to burglar/etc. For CCTV video recording, I use iVideon (freemium), which is cross-platform, and has free unlimited local recording, free streaming, and free limited event-based 24 hour cloud recording. Another favorite is ZoneMinder, an open-source favorite.
