Using your iPad as Security Camera or Motion Alert System
Ever wanted to know what is happening at home without
having to set up a complicated video camera system? People Power, a Palo Alto
software company, has released a mobile app that can easily turn an old iPhone,
iPad or iPod Touch into a security camera.
The company's free app, Presence, makes it possible for
users who have Wi-Fi to set up one Apple device as a video camera and another
as a monitor. For instance, you may leave your old iPhone at home and turn it
into a camera and then monitor your thick spouse on an iPad at work.
The app is free, but People Power is hoping that users
will go to the app's "Market" and purchase accessories, such as
device tripods and fish-eye lenses, to enhance their security system. Presence
is available now from the Apple App Store, and People Power said it hopes
to release an Android version of the app later this year.
Program description:
Turn a spare iPhone or iPad into a free remote camera to
monitor your home or office from anywhere in the world (Wi-Fi or cellular), and
more! Select Presence Motion Detection to receive free Presence Video Alerts
and see what happened just moments ago.
Or select Video and Audio Streaming to enable convenient
2-way conversations, and even the ability to remotely control robotic viewing
stands.
Supervise and control your energy consumption before your
eyes with Presence, too. Turn lights and appliances on and off from your
smartphone with Presence-controlled Monster smart plugs. Automate your system
with simple and powerful Presence Rules, helping you design an automated motion
detection and energy plan for home or office.
MONITOR – Download Presence on a spare iPhone, iPad, or
iPod Touch. Connect via Wi-Fi or cellular. Plug into power and position your device
where you wish – at home, in the kitchen, the garage, your office, or anyplace
you want to monitor from another iPhone or iOS device – in real time!
PROTECT – Enjoy peace of mind with Presence Video Alerts,
or keep a constant eye on pets, family, and prized possessions while you are
away with Streaming Audio and Video capabilities. Communicate remotely
face-to-face with the people and pets you're connected to with Presence.
ALERT – Customize your settings to receive Presence Video
Alerts in an instant when motion is detected from your Presence-enabled device.
You are notified instantly when an intruder is detected, the kids arrive home
from school, or your elderly relatives are moving about their day.
SAVE – Don't buy an expensive IP camera. Put that older
iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch back to work. Download Presence and transform your
unused device into the most advanced Wi-Fi video camera available today for
FREE.
