Many of us use smartphones and tablets for our day to day life, but eventually, a newer version comes out making our precious device obsolete. And most times if you try and trade it in on the newer model you are offered $20.00 for your trouble - almost not worth the gas expended to get to the store.

There are a few interesting and useful options to resurrect your device from the scrap heap. The one we talk about here is a novel idea that will provide you with some security at home. Home Security Camera - Alfred for Android is just such an option; it breathes a new life into your old smartphone or tablet by turning them into a security camera system. Set up for Alfred is a breeze, grab the app from Google Play and add it to those "spare" devices as well as your current one which will be converted to an easy-to-use control center. And best of all your spare devices do not need to have a SIM card present.

You can then configure the app to use the decommissioned devices like cameras that will detect motion. Another cool feature is that you can use both cameras on the phone making each device a dual camera. You can also use them for communicating between devices or even activating the flashlight to scare off an intruder or animal.

Not a bad use for those old dust collecting devices sitting at the back of your closet. And it is certainly cheaper than buying a home security system.
