Alfred Camera is a web app that allows you to use the webcam on PC as a security camera. If you install the AlfredCamera Android app and log in with the same account on both devices, You will get a notification on your phone anytime the webcam detects any motion. Long story short, here’s how to download Alfred Camera for Windows 10 and use it.
How do I download Alfred Camera for Windows 10?
Is Alfred Camera any good?
Although Alfred Camera is a free app for PC and mobile, this free version is pretty limited. You can’t add more than one camera, you can’t record anything from your phone and the video resolution is SD.
However, the motion detection works seamlessly and the phone notifies you whenever the webcam detects any motion so you can watch live what’s happening.
To eliminate all these shortcomings and switch to HD quality, you will have to upgrade to a Premium plan for $2.49 a month.
Also, since it’s a web app for Windows, you first need to make sure that your browser, computer or webcam don’t go to sleep after you leave home. Also, obviously, you need a steady internet connection, otherwise the webcam will not be able to stream anything to your phone app.
So, this is how you download Alfred Camera for Windows 10, although we would add that it works on Windows 11 as well. It’s not a professional security solution for your home, at least not in it’s free version, but it would work perfectly if you want to be notified when your toddler wakes up and needs attention.
