This 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.
