Alfred Camera VS Altstore

I have an old Smartphone using the Alfred Camera app (https://alfred.camera). This detects motion and can trigger notifications on other devices. My SM530-T tablet receives these notification which I am using to start the flow below. Effectively, I trying to make free Ring / Nest Doorbell system that gets a live Camera feed from the phone and displays the live camera feed in Alfred Camera app on the tablet,.

You're gonna have to get something like a bouncie bouncie.com/device $77 to buy, $8 /mo for LTE, for notification that car has been turned on. I actually don't have a bouncie, since I have a DIY system: To watch live stream of the inside of my car, I mounted on my dash, an old galaxy s4 with Alfred security camera app alfred.camera/ , the video showing the inside of my car. It’s also set to record if detecting a... Source: about 1 year ago

I mounted on my dash, an old galaxy s4 with Alfred security camera app https://alfred.camera/ , set to record on Motion, on Low-Light, and notifies my carry phone. Working well for years now. Source: about 1 year ago

I'm looking for a simple holder for a smartphone so that it lies flush against a window. That way I can use the smartphone with the Alfredcamera app on it (https://alfred.camera/) as motion-activated camera for taking pictures of the birds at a feeder that is placed just outside a window.

That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users. (Which would be not so ridiculous as it sounds, there is plenty of software you cannot buy directly but only through a reseller. Epic could become a pure b2b shop on paper and sell Fortnite clients to regional distributors, or something like that.) Some time ago somebody made an alternative App Store for... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

I mean, that's fine. My argument about adblockers applies to other software too: the Apple ecosystem has some of the basics (like sync, browsers, etc) figured out for me so that I don't need to fiddle with it. While I'd like to use Firefox, I don't need to, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting Safari instead are worth it for my specific situation. Forcing myself into a different... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
