Swann Communications has come
up with a security surveillance system that lets you stream live video
direct to your mobile phone from anywhere in the world. The system
works for audio too.
Called the Capture-Cam range, there are two "all-in-one" retail packages that are a complete DIY solution.
Capture-Cam Mobile comes with a high quality Max-i-Swann webcam as well
as the software and instructions required to capture, manage and
transmit video footage to a 3G phone.
Capture-Cam Advanced comes with
two OutdoorCam security cameras, a four-port PCI card, the Capture-Cam
Software plus instructions and a manual.
According to Swann Global Marketing Manager, Jeremy Stewart,
linking live video from a webcam or surveillance cameras located at
home or business to mobile phones is a big step forward for anyone with
a mobile phone.
"This range of products goes a long way towards
turning video surveillance camera's into lifestyle accessories," Mr
Stewart said. "The potential customised applications for viewing
footage captured by video cameras via mobile phones are infinite. Let's
face it, everyone has a mobile phone these days."
Both products
record video to a PC. These images can then be made available over the
Internet where it can be viewed via a phone browser or PC browser from
anywhere in the world. Mobile phones can also act as remote access
devices activating the surveillance system including camera and
integrated products.
Features such as preset scheduling of
multiple camera activation, motion detection linked to customised alert
messages, captured file playback capability and automatic live updates
of software all offer broad flexibility for the user to find their own
customised application.
Intuitive software ensures that the
set-up and management processes are very easy to use while the system
is compatible with all Windows PCs (W2000+, 1.2GHz+ CPU, 512MB+ RAM)
and accessible via most internet-enabled 3G phones.
"The
possibilities are endless," said Stewart. "In overseas markets, we have
seen Swann cameras used to provide highly diverse surveillance
activities. These include a pet checking service for holidaymakers
wanting to see their cat or dog in pet accommodation facilities and
night clubs broadcasting footage of their venues to people who might be
considering where to go out for the night."
The products are the
brainchild of Australian talent. Swann and the software developer,
Capture-Cam, are locally based and owned, but have big plans to take
the products to the rest of the world.
Swann's Capture-Cam Mobile is available now from Dick Smith
Electronics, Dick Smith Powerhouse and Tandy stores with an RRP of
$129. The 2 camera Capture-Cam Advanced has an RRP of $399. Both
products include software and full instructions.
