For two years now, I’ve used the Presence app on our family iPhones as a home security system. It’s awesome: We took two old iPhone 4 models we had lying around, connected them to the Presence app on our current phones, and instantly used their cameras as live security monitors for the house when we’re away. It plays live sound, it’s reliable and fast, makes recordings if we want, and is simple to set up. Plus it’s absolutely free! Really, it’s biggest drawback is that those old iPhones need to be plugged into the wall, so that they don’t run out of juice after 10 hours or so. Which also means you’re kind of limited in where you place them, unless you want extension cords running everywhere.
