Home Security via Your Cell Phone
Scared that your house is the next one to be targeted for a break-in, but don’t want to spend thousands on home monitoring companies? EYESthere has a perfect solution for you. For $1,100 they will come out and install one CCTV in your home. Once motion is detected a text message is sent to your phone with a link to the video feed. You can then watch on your cell phone or via the web. The recording is able to be played back so you can turn the footage into the police. Taking security into your own hands and making sure those new gadgets precious investments are safe is now only a text message away.

I’ve already run such a rig with wireless cams… for $1100 I’d rather pay 600 to setup and save the $500
Look, that’s about $1000 too much money. Go to ebay and buy a Panasonic BL-C1A, or better yet search for: Panasonic network camera, title only.
They can be programmed to email photos when there’s a “trigger” (motion / timer). Not video, but much more feasible then $1,100 for those who don’t have cash to burn.
I have a BlackBerry and can check the current image on my cameras @ home VERY easily. I have multiple cameras, and paid WAY less than $1,100.
1000 bucks for that lol. Go buy a Slingbox Por for 249 bucks attach the camcorder you probably already own then use a laptop, pda to access the video feed anywhere in the world. After thats all done take the 751 and have a kegger party for all the guys at work. Everyone wins!
First, please understand that this $1,100 is incorrect. This figure is the average cost per camera of a sophisticated DVR system fully installed with a site-survey, design, cabling, install, verification, training and tuning. Many business owners and high-end homes need a security system that are wired (wireless cameras are not secure unless they are IP cameras), records only motion, have night vision, etc. Seeing the cameras live on a PDA is just one small benefit. The industry average for a full-service install is closer to $11,000 for 10 cameras in a business or high-end home.
Secondly, EYESthere often replaces these cheap do-it-yourself cameras and inexpensive DVRs since they cannot be tuned for high optic quality, high frames per second per camera, at least 30 days of high quality footage, and motion only recording reliability. Most EYESthere installs are with businesses and high-end homes since this level of sophistication and reliability is not necessary for someone who just wants to see their web-cam on a PDA. For those interested in an industrial solution and want to hear from customers who use these systems as a daily business tool and see great value in a $4,400 four camera system, visit http://www.EYESthere.com. The other writers are correct that if you just want to see a camera on your PDA, just visit Frys or do a google search for a web-cam.
