Totally agree with you, FixerMike77! Turning an old Android phone into a security camera using IP Webcam apps or dedicated security cam apps is a game-changer. I was just thinking the same thing—having a dedicated device makes things way simpler, and keeping it plugged in avoids the battery hassle. If anyone wants extra features like monitoring messages or social media for peace of mind, I’ve found Eyezy (https://www.eyezy.com/) super handy. The setup was easier than I expected, especially for travelers who want to keep an eye on things remotely 
. Have you tried any specific apps that worked well for live streaming?
