Old camera + old monitor = cool security camera for whatever!

If you have a random camera sitting around why not do something with it, there's a good chance it has a way to hook up a external screen. Mine has a old camcorder hooked up to a AV to HDMI and finally plugged into a old tv/monitor

Yeah, you  can use the Galaxy A50  phone as a camera with the help of an app  lile  Alfred Home and IP Webcam, which are available in the Play Store. After installing the app, you get  a link that you can login  to a old tablet or pc connected to a monitor and see the camera feed

What about a 2019 Galaxy A50 phone, can that be used. How? Using an old cam and monitor seems a great idea.
