I have since used the app with 2 old iPads, and an iPhone 7 Plus. Works better than I expect, really nicely done app.
The motion detection is spot-on. I've been mostly using this to see what our new very shy kitten is up to since we've only seen him twice in 5 weeks; basically he's impossible to find during the day and only comes out to play after we're asleep. The videos are super fun / cute, and it's nice to see he's having fun and in good health! [3]
Alfred Security also make a impressive, very inexpensive camera ($34 US, 1080P, night vision, 130 degree viewing angle and easy to mount). I just received 3 of the 4.
TLDR: last month I wanted to know what was the best use for old iPads /iOS devices, and I've since discovered Alfred Home Security[1].
Supported Devices[2]:
Android: Android 4.4 or above (For a better experience, operating systems above Android 5 are highly recommended)
iOS: iOS 10 or above

* I have nothing to do, nor any affiliation with Alfred other than pay for and use their products. * Original Post is locked; I couldn't post this information there. * Updated with devices / link, and kitty video link (this is off an old iPad, not the Alfred Camera), and formatting.
