Got a nice bird feeder and love watching birds visiting the feeder. Have some old smart phones and wondering if any of you have converted old smart phones into a bird booth camera. Basically, just a good case and an app. https://www.bou.org.uk/blog-steen-sm...ne-monitoring/

Have any of you done this ? please share your experience and what case/app other accessories you used.

Link doesn't work.

Any old smartphone should work fine for such a thing, as long as you have a power source.

The app referenced in the article (which wasn't specifically identified) may require a newer operating system that may or may not be available on an older phone.
