Recycling old mobile phones

We appear to have a few old mobiles collecting dust at home, forgotten about, owt of sight owt of mind, you know how it is.

I have come up with a fab idea, and it works 

I was a little bored watching the Liverpool game last so I had a look around the google play store and came across an app that uses the camera's on the phone's as a security cam for your house. Dug out three and downloaded the app on all and connected, whoooa all three on line with motion detection, night cam etc and work really well. better than collecting dust.
One is pointing at the front, one in the back and one on my plot (see if if anyone nicking me veg  )

What App's that Airy?

Thanks - think that came up first when I did a quick search but good to hear from someone using it that it works. Will have a look at setting some up for myself.
With regards to the battery getting warm I was thinking of taking them out. I'm assuming the phones'll work through a charger without them but have never tried.
