Free wifi Web cam for Apex

[theMerchant]

I wanted to share a way to get a free Web cam and use it with Apex.
If you have a old Android phone , sorry not sure about iphone, then you can reuse it for a dedicated Web cam.
Download app called IP WEBCAM.
Here is a old tutorial
http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-A-Wi-fi-Webcam-From-An-Old-Android-Phone/

YOU WILL HAVE TO PORT FORWARD THE PHONE IP IN YOUR ROUTER IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK.

Then in Apex add the camera and ip. Make sure to add /video at the end of the line.

Don't forget to plug in phone to power.
I'm not sure how to mount mine yet, but it's just for fun right now.

I've tried this with my iPhone with the "many things" app and it fried my old iPhone 5. Cause it's constantly charging the phone. If u can put the charger on a timer it may work.

Free if you have an old phone you don't use any more. I'm using a old Samsung Galaxy phone
