I have a couple Android phones with little resell value and I’m wondering what I could do with them on my spare time.
Not sure if this is the right sub to ask but figured it could be a good start to see if anyone here has done anything with phones.

Install DroidcamX and turn them into webcams or surveillance cams. It works over LAN and over USB. On LAN you can connect the phones to the server or the server to the phones, as you wish.
On Linux they’re seen as regular V4L2 devices. You can use its custom kernel module (installs via DKMS) for additional customization options or the standard V4L2 kernel module.
I’m not really knowledgeable about recording and motion-detection (I’ve only used it as a webcam) but perhaps someone else can help with that.
