About Home Surveillance
Turn your iPhone and iPad into surveillance cameras that send you notifications with videos anytime they detect some changes, so you can feel safe at home and can leave your house with the mind at peace. Contrary to the other surveillance, security and CCTV apps, with Home Surveillance you don't need to own several iPhone/iPad devices, to purchase another camera, nor need to download any third party software to watch your surveillance cameras; you already have everything you need! Just install the app on your iPhone/iPad, and you are ready to go. Open the address internet provided by the surveillance camera, using any web browser on any platform, to watch it! Get notified of any change and receive videos of what has been detected on your iPhone/iPad, on any phones, tablets and computers. Download the videos and use them as evidence in case something happens. Forget about the classic home surveillances that cost an arm and a leg, and try out Home Surveillance! Definitely the cheapest video surveillance solution out there! Special features: - Turn any iPhone and iPad into a video surveillance camera. Keeping an eye on your house, your baby sleeping or your pets has never been so easy. - Watch your surveillance camera using any web browsers on any platform, or using app on another iPhone/iPad. - Full remote control of the surveillance camera: switch among the different back cameras (when available), switch between the front and back camera(s), turn the torch On/Off (when available) - See all your surveillance cameras currently online at once. - Get notified on any platform of any change and receive videos of what has been detected. To receive notification on your iPhone/iPad, just scan the QR code of the camera using the app. If you use another device, share the QR code with your computer, or scan it with your phone camera and register, its web browser so it will be notified. - Select which devices the surveillance camera will send notifications to - The app record videos anytime it detects changes during the surveillance; the videos are saved locally in the device camera roll and also sent to the notified devices so they can also keep copies as eventual evidences. - Secure the connection to the surveillance camera with your own password - Up to Full HD 1080P video surveillance with audio - No settings to use the app on your local wifi network.
