iNowCU: Remote iPhone home security motion detection video monitoring tool
May 31, 2008 by james
You might have read a recent story about a Japanese man who discovered that a homeless woman was living in his home’s closet for a whole year after using a remote video monitoring system that sent updates based on motion in his apartment (he discovered that food started mysteriously disappearing and installed the aforementioned video surveillance — police noted that the 58 year old woman was well fed).
Now, if you see that your food started disappearing, you can actually install a similar software developed by Inca X Mobile. The application is compatible with most webcams and most mobile devices, including the iPhone and virtually every model from Windows Mobile, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola.
iNowCU is an application that turns any personal computer with a webcam into an intelligent motion-detection and surveillance system that uses highly bandwidth-efficient peer-to-peer technology to broadcast real-time alerts and video footage to a wide variety of mobile devices.
Once installed, iNowCU monitors one or more locations with up to four webcams and broadcasts immediate alerts when movement is detected within the field of view. The alerts are delivered to a mobile device either as still image or video clips, and can also be emailed to a distribution list of choice.Users can also access the real-time camera feeds at any time from their mobile phones or another PC.
You can download the program at www.inowcu.com. It is available to download for a free five-day trial, users can purchase the full version of iNowCU for US$20.
