自从Apple iPhone 进入我们的生活以来，它已经成为一种潮流引领者。除了它的外观和电话的明显用途之外，我们还受到了一系列第三方应用程序的青睐，这些应用程序提高了我们的生活质量。
从基本的交流、各种上网方式、自拍到在Candy Crush中获得高分，再到你最喜欢的音乐摇摆不定，iPhone 给了我们很多。
但是您可能不知道您的包罗万象的个人生活设备也可以用作安全摄像头。你也可能从来没有想过为什么这会有用。
老实说，无论出于何种原因，您首先需要一个安全摄像头，一个真正的监控摄像头将是一项更好的投资。但是，在紧要关头，iPhone 可能是您需要的所有安全摄像头。
虽然不是一个明智的替代品，但 iPhone 可以帮助您在视频中捕捉一些原本会被忽视的东西。举个例子，你每天早上醒来，打开咖啡，穿上拖鞋，然后走到前门领取你的日报（还有人送报纸吗？）。
当你打开门时，你会看到你的文件应该在哪里，只是它碰巧有一个看起来不太好看或闻起来不太舒服的礼物留在上面。邻居的哪一只(Which one)宠物在你的纸上拉屎？向 iPhone 安全摄像头问好。(Say)
好吧(Okay)，也许这个例子非常小众，但你明白了。为了节省您的眼泪，以防您的 iPhone 最终丢失，我们建议您使用您可能已经闲置的旧 iPhone。
如何把你的 iPhone 变成一个安全摄像头(How To Turn Your iPhone Into a Security Camera)
要使用您的 iPhone 安全摄像头捕捉某人的行为，您首先必须破解或越狱它。这也是为什么以这种方式使用 iPhone 可能不是其更好用途之一的另一个原因。但是有些人喜欢能够做这种事情。
如果这是你，你很可能已经在某个地方越狱了你的手机。对于那些不熟悉越狱的人，您将需要Cydia 应用程序(the Cydia app)。
越狱(The Jailbreak)
了解越狱 iPhone 除了侵犯苹果的版权外，还会使其保修失效。这也是我们无法真正涉足的事情，因为越狱方法因您的 iPhone 当前使用的 iOS 版本而异。
解决此保修问题的更好方法是破解您的 iPhone(hack your iPhone)。只要您可以访问和安装Cydia应用程序，您如何选择就由您决定。
一旦安装了Cydia应用程序，您就可以在您的 iPhone 上下载并安装Veency iPhone VNC 服务器(VNC Server)。VNC代表虚拟网络计算(virtual network computing)，这只是意味着你可以链接你的iPhone和电脑。
这将允许您在计算机的窗口中查看 iPhone 显示屏上的所有内容。其他应用程序可以做到这一点，但我们更喜欢Veency方法，因为它是目前最有用的Cydia应用程序之一。
安装虚拟网络计算(Installing Virtual Network Computing)
- 使用Cydia应用程序搜索Veency。当您搜索时，您可能会同时调出Veency和Veency SBSettings Toggle。现在只关注(Focus)Veency。
- 安装Veency。您要查找的包应该属于Jay Freeman (@saurik)，可以在Cydia/Telesphoreo存储库中找到。
- 之后(Afterward)，返回并安装Veency SBSettings Toggle。这将允许您在不使用时禁用Veency，从而节省宝贵的电池寿命并帮助确保您的手机更安全。
- (Set)为Veency(Veency)设置您想要的任何密码，只要确保它是安全的。您可以通过在 iPhone 的设置中找到(Settings)Veency来做到这一点。
- 接下来，您需要在计算机上安装VNC。TightVNC非常适合使用Windows和类 Unix(Unix-like)（包括Linux）操作系统的任何人。RealVNC是使用Mac的人的最佳选择。RealVNC也可用于其他操作系统，包括Raspberry Pi和Solaris。
- 设置好 iPhone 和计算机的查看器后，输入 iPhone 的 IP 地址，该地址可在设置的(Settings)Wi-Fi部分下找到。
- 单击iPhone 上的接受(Accept )以允许设备之间的VNC连接发生。
摄像机成为安全摄像机(The Video Camera Becomes a Security Camera)
您现在应该能够在计算机显示器上查看 iPhone 的显示。要完成转换，您需要使用 iPhone 录像机应用程序将 iPhone 的百万像素摄像头变成视频监控设备。像Cycorder这样的东西可以做到这一点，它恰好位于Cydia应用程序中。
对于更原生且不需要黑客攻击的东西，我们建议Presence Video Security Camera。您不仅可以查看实时摄像头监控录像，还可以将应用程序设置为警报设备。如果您碰巧设置了一些无线传感器，您可以将它们连接到应用程序并创建完整的家庭监控和安全系统。
一旦您选择了您的相机录制应用程序并将其安装在您的 iPhone 上，您应该能够直接在您的显示器上观察实时视频源。现在您的 iPhone 和计算机网络已同步，您可以直接从计算机打开和关闭摄像机，以及调整设置、播放音乐和许多其他事情。
How To Turn Your iPhone Into a Security Camera
Ever since the Apple iPhone сame into our lives, it’ѕ become something of a trendsetter. Outside of its looks and the obvious uses for a phоne, we’ve been graced with a bevy of thіrd-party арplicatiоns that have increased our quality of life.
From basic communication, various ways to surf the web, and snapping selfies to reaching high scores in Candy Crush and rocking out to your favorite tunes, the iPhone has given us so much.
But you probably didn’t know that your all-encompassing, personal life device could also be used as a security camera. You’ve also probably never even thought about why this would be useful.
Truthfully, an actual surveillance camera would be a far better investment for whatever reason you need a security cam in the first place. However, in a pinch, the iPhone could be all the security cameras you need.
Although not a sensible replacement, an iPhone could help you capture something on video that would otherwise go unnoticed. An example would be that you wake up every morning, turn on the coffee, throw on some slippers, and head to the front door to claim your daily newspaper (do people still have newspapers delivered?).
When you open the door, you see your paper where it should be, only it happens to have a not-so-pleasant looking – or smelling – gift left on it. Which one of the neighbors’ pets is pooping on your paper? Say hello to the iPhone security camera.
Okay, perhaps that example is incredibly niche but you get the point. To save you some tears, just in case your iPhone winds up missing, we suggest using an old iPhone you may have laying around.
How To Turn Your iPhone Into a Security Camera
To catch someone in the act with your iPhone security camera, you’re first going to have to hack or jailbreak it. This is another reason why using your iPhone in this way may not be one of its better uses. But some people enjoy being able to do this sort of thing.
If this is you, chances are you’ve already jailbroken your phone somewhere along the line. For those of you new to jailbreaking, you’re going to need the Cydia app.
The Jailbreak
Understand that jailbreaking an iPhone voids its warranty on top of violating Apple’s copyright. This is also the sort of thing we can’t really go into as the method for jailbreaking differs depending on the version of iOS your iPhone is currently using.
A better way to get around this warranty complication would be to hack your iPhone instead. How you choose to do it is up to you so long as you can access and install the Cydia app.
Once the Cydia app has been installed, you’ll then be able to download and install Veency iPhone VNC Server on your iPhone. VNC stands for virtual network computing, which just means you can link your iPhone and computer.
This will allow you to view everything on your iPhone’s display in a window on your computer. Other apps can do this but we prefer the Veency method as it’s one of the most useful Cydia apps out there.
Installing Virtual Network Computing
- Search for Veency using the Cydia app. When you search it’s likely you’ll pull up both Veency and Veency SBSettings Toggle. Focus on just Veency for now.
- Install Veency. The package you’re looking for should belong to Jay Freeman (@saurik) and can be found in the Cydia/Telesphoreo repository.
- Afterward, go back and install the Veency SBSettings Toggle. This will allow you to disable Veency when not in use, saving you valuable battery life and helping to keep your phone more secure.
- Set whatever password you’d like for Veency, just make sure it’s a secure one. You can do this by finding Veency in your iPhone’s Settings.
- Next, you’ll need to install VNC on your computer. TightVNC is great for anyone using Windows and Unix-like (including Linux) operating systems. RealVNC is the way to go for those using a Mac. RealVNC is also available on other operating systems including Raspberry Pi and Solaris.
- Once the viewers for both iPhone and computer have been set up, enter your iPhone’s IP address, which can be found under the Wi-Fi section in Settings.
- Click Accept on your iPhone to allow the VNC connection between devices to take place.
The Video Camera Becomes a Security Camera
You should now be able to view your iPhone’s display right there on the computer monitor. To complete the transformation, you’ll want to use an iPhone video recorder application to turn your iPhone’s megapixel cam into a video surveillance device. Something like Cycorder would do the trick which just happens to be located in the Cydia app.
For something more native and less hack-necessary, we suggest Presence Video Security Camera. Not only can you view real-time camera surveillance footage, but the app can also be set up as an alert device. If you happen to have a few wireless sensors set up, you can connect them to the app and create full-blown home surveillance and security system.
As soon as you choose your camera recording app and install it on your iPhone, you should be able to observe the live video feed directly on your monitor. Now that your iPhone and computer network have been synced, you’ll be able to turn the video camera on and off, as well as adjust settings, play music, and plenty of other things directly from the computer.
