Security camera - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
due to a recent security incidence at my house, I have decided to install some cameras. I read online about using old android phones and I think it's a very good idea, so I bought 5 old android phones with led lights and what I would like to do is the following:
The cameras would start recording/taking photos when motion or sound is detected, and send me a notification. As well, if it's dark, I would like the led light to turn on before it records/takes photos otherwise it would be useless.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any app that would have both the motion and sound detection and the recording feature enabling the flash only when it's needed?
Thanks!

[Q] Back camera makes weird noise

Hey guys i recently noticed that when i open the camera app or snapchat and switch to back camera the camera will make some weird noise like an engine and sometimes it just sounds like a "click" sound. If i open the camera app and it is already on the back camera it still makes a sound, so not necessarily when i switch. It kind of like as long as i start the back camera some weird noise will appear.
Does anyone else have this "issue", is it an issue, should i replace the phone etc.?
Appreciate any help
Same thing is happening to me. Did you got your phone replaced?
I got the same thing here. Doesn't affect video or pictures so I could care less

Camera Sound removal Help

Hey guys, I have recently updated my S6 Edge to 6.0.1 and my original solution to the Camera Shutter noise was solved with : Enforced Stream Silencer App - this did the trick beautifully and simply but since the update that app now doesnt work. My phone is un-rooted and i would like to keep it that way if possible.
I really hate that in Australia Samsung has forced us to have the shutter and focus noises without the ability to turn them off.
Can anyone recommend an app or solution to this.

Help with unlocking to camera

Hi all,
Looking to see if its possible to set up either a N5 or G3 so that when it is unlocked the LED flash comes on automatically and the phone/app switches direct to the rear facing camera. I do not need the ability to use any other apps or take a video or picture - in fact it would be preferably if this is the only thing the phone could do when unlocked it with absolutely everything else disabled on the phone - maybe even with the touch screen disabled and it's woken and unlocked automatically by a press of the power button.
I will be recording the output via slimport/hdmi so all i really need the phone for is as a webcam / so the person viewing it can see what the camera is looking at.
Any help appreciated.
