An app called Manything is helping police solve break-ins in both the UK and US by transforming disused phones into DIY CCTV cameras. One iPhone is needed to act as a CCTV camera (shown left) and another must be kept with a homeowner so they can see notifcations and live feeds of any intruders
A burglar alarm is a powerful deterrent, but if a criminal isn't scared off then you need as much information as possible to help catch them.
Now an app is helping police solve break-ins in both the UK and US by transforming disused phones into DIY CCTV cameras.
The software is free providing only one camera is used, but it does require homeowners to have two iPhones - one to record any action and one to monitor the house remotely.
Users receive a notification, including a live video feed if the app detects any movement in their home.
The app, called Manything, recently caught its third criminal, who was in the act of burgling a flat in the south of England.
An iPhone running the Manything app automatically filmed him rifling through the property, enabling the police to use the video to track down and convict the thief.
