How many Camera devices can be added to one account?

You can add as many devices to your account as you would like to. As long as the device fits Alfred's storage and internet requirements, it can be used as both Camera devices and the Viewer device. Switch your device to become the Viewer or the Camera at any time.

 

⚠️ Please note that the live session of a Camera device can only be watched by one Viewer device (including WebViewer) at a time. With that said, you can use WebViewer to watch live sessions from multiple Camera devices at the same time.

Where can I buy cheap devices?

If you would like to have more than one Camera device but don’t have any other old devices sitting around, here are some tips from seasoned Alfred users:

1. Search auction sites for phones with cracked screens:
   As long as the camera lenses work and the device screens respond, any phones work. 
2. Purchase TracFones from Walmart:
   TracFones are budget-friendly. As long as the device runs on Android 5.0 and up, you can convert the phone into a Camera device.
3. Bring out your old iPods:
   Alfred works on all Apple devices that runs on iOS 8 and up? If you happen to have an old iPod with a camera lens, you can use it as a Camera device.
