#106: Turn an old smartphone into a security camera
Do you remember the baby shark eggs we had in the lounge area? Last term in the foundation stage we set up a GoPro camera to take photos of the turtles laying their eggs. Like many families I’m sure you have one or two old mobile phones sitting in the ‘out-of-sight-out-of-mind’ drawer. I do and when the boys found a new nest in the garden before the summer we set up an old iPhone to watch the weaver bird feed it’s chicks without disturbing them. Sadly I don’t have any photos or video from the even; the memories are good enough. The free app I used to live-stream from an old phone to my new one is one of the tips in the 4Ts today.
Here are my 4T’s for this week:
1. a Tip: Turn an old phone or tablet into a security camera for free
2. a Tool: Why you might want to check out Wakelet (watch time = 2mins 46 sec)
3. a Text: Christie's sells Artificial Intelligence artwork for $432,000 (read time = 2 mins)
4. a Tutorial: Trouble Falling Asleep? (see below, watch time = 7mins 24 sec)
Have a great weekend.
