Altstore

Another use-case for old iPads would be to run altstore (https://altstore.io/) and install emulators for retro gaming.

Frigate NVR

I've tried using LiveReporter[1] with an old iPad to send a RTSP stream to Frigate[2] running in a Proxmox virtual machine because I wanted to find out who was stealing plums from my trees. However, I never caught the plum-stealing-person, because LiveReporter crashed every few hours on my ancient iPad. Does anyone know of an app that reliably streams the camera of old iPads and iPhones to your local network that is <i>not</i> tied to any cloud service or subscription that collects unnecessary user data?
