Have been thinking about this for a couple years. I have old phones kicking around. Battery shot, hardware dated, but the camera(s) and mic and antennas still work. Would be cool if there were a way to set them up (powered) to stream audio/video or even take stills at intervals (or motion-activated) and then sync the content to the rest of the devices on my network.

I don’t know how complex the programming for something like this would be. But I suspect it’s trivial for those who do know.

    Glad to know. 2-3 years is a good lifetime, especially when compared against keeping the phone unused and stored in a drawer.
