Often one or two old mobile phones are lying around in the house, which people either think of throwing away or do not give to anyone else. But by using these useless phones, you can save thousands of rupees. Here we will tell you some easy tricks by which you can use your old phone properly. You can use it as a car dashcam or a CCTV camera at home.

How to make a car dashcam from an old phone?:  If your car does not have a dashcam and you need it immediately, then you can use your old phone for this purpose. For this, first open Google Play Store in your phone and type "Droid Dashcam Video Recorder" in the search bar. Click on the first option and install the app on your phone. After installation, open this app and place your phone in the dashcam location. Keep in mind that the phone should always be on charging, so that the battery does not run out. This app records videos in a loop, so that all the videos will be saved in your phone. If needed, you can open and watch any video.

Converting an old phone into a CCTV camera:  Converting your old phone into a CCTV camera is also a great way. For this, you have to download the "IP Webcam" app. After opening the app, click on "Start Over" and allow all permissions. After this, your phone's camera will open. Note the IP address shown on the screen. Then go to your phone's browser and enter that IP address. This will open the IP Webcam website. Here you will get two options: video rendering and audio. If you want to watch the recorded video, click on video rendering. If you want to watch both video and audio, select the flash option appearing next to the audio player. In this way, you can monitor your home from anywhere and listen to both video and audio.

Convert old phone into laptop webcam:  You can also convert your old phone into a laptop webcam. For this, search for "DroidCam Webcam" application on Google Play Store. After installing this app, you have to setup your phone correctly, and you are done. In this way, you can not only save money but also increase home security by using your old phone properly. Whether it is a dashcam, CCTV camera, or a webcam, your old phone has all these useful features. So the next time you have an old phone lying in your house, reuse it in these ways instead of throwing it away.
