AtHome Camera

--- What's special about AtHome Camera App?


AtHome Camera is the ONLY webcam app on the iPhone or iPod Touch that allows you to not only view video live, but also allows you to remotely start or stop video recording, and to play back recorded video remotely on your iPhone. 
 
--- I like it, but how do I know if it will work with my webcams and my home network?


We provide a free trial version: the AtHome Camera Test. You can download and have a try first.

--- Can I watch live video even when I am outside?


Yes, you can connect to your home computer and watch live video from anywhere, at any time, on 3G, EDGE or WIFI.
 
--- But what can I do if I see something important (like a burglary)?

You can just press the record swicth on your iPhone to immediately start video recording on your computer, at full frame rate in H.264 format. Later, you can remotely stream back the recorded video onto your iPhone, just like Youtube.
   
--- Can I record video if I’m not watching my iPhone? I cannot stare at it all day waiting for something to happen.


Yes, you can specify two PRE-SCHEDULED TIME INTERVALS each day to automatically start/stop video recording. Want to check if your kids are home when they’re supposed to? Schedule the recording to start at 3 o'clock!
 
--- What if I don’t happen to see, and I don't know when,  something is going to happen?


We are aware that no one watches their iPhone 24/7, so we now support MOTION DETECTION! Video recording will be AUTOMATICALLY triggered if the motion activity is above a USER-DEFINED threshold.


--- So what happens if something does happen? how will I know immediately?


You can configure the server to send you an email when something happens or when the motion detection is triggered.
 
--- But, worst case scenario, what if someone takes my computer away?

WELL, if you are really worried about the recorded vide images,  you can set up the streaming server so that it continually uploads images to an email account (like Gmail, with a large storage) in case motion is triggered. This way, even if your computer is lost or stolen, the images will already be uploaded to the email account.
 
--- That’s so cool, how many cameras can I manage?

Each computer can connect up to 4 webcams (Mac OS version of the streaming server supports one camera at a time for now), and you can manage as many computers as you wish (for the home, office, etc) .
 
--- Well, is it secure?


All authentication connections between your iPhone and the streaming server are encrypted. All login information and images are transferred strictly only between your computer and your iPhone or iPod Touch.

--- Is it easy to use? Can I control everything remotely on my iPhone?


All you need to do is to download and install the streaming server onto your computer. After the server is up and running, you will have full control through your iPhone. You can remotely change camera resolution, frame rate, when to start or stop recording, when to enable motion detection, and etc.
 


--- Is it easy to set up?


The streaming server comes with an auto-configure feature to help set up a streaming IP and to configure your router. 
 
--- Oh... before I make up my mind, do you have a demo on how to use this app?


Yes, feel free to take a look at this Youtube video demo: http://www.sunraynetworks.com
 
 --- Finally, are there any limitations I should know about?


Yes, please note that IP-based network cameras are NOT supported.
