Repurpose It as a Baby Monitor or Pet Camera

There’s no need to buy an expensive baby monitor if you already have an old iPhone or iPad with a decent camera.

Instead, you can install an app like Cloud Baby Monitor or Alfred, position your iPhone or iPad in your kids’ room (you might need a tripod or wall mount), and you’re all set.

If you have a fairly new Apple device, the camera quality will be better than that of most baby monitors on the market, and you’ll be able to keep tabs on your loved ones from anywhere.
