MultiEyeVision, a Pune based company has launched a tool called Observer that turns mobile phones into remote monitoring cameras. The camera’s images can be viewed from any internet connected device. You need a GPRS enable smartphone for this, or you can buy a pre-configured mobile phone from them.You have to start the Observer application on the mobile, and place it where you want and login to your secure account from anywhere in the world and view the image stream over the internet Control the capture settings of the Observer from the Internet itself.
The Observer is a regular mobile phone that is pre-configured to perform the additonal functions of image capturing and streaming on demand. In order to view the images being grabbed by the Observer, the user simply needs to log-in to our secure web-portal on the internet with his/her username and password.
Because of the limitations of GPRS speed, it is presently not possible to send video (which requires higher transfer speeds). However, Observer can capture and transmit image streams upto a rate of 3 images per minute, which is adequate for the applications discussed here.The default resolution of captured images is 320x240 pixels. The high resolution captures are 640x480 resolution.The images can be stored for viewing later or even get emailed to you at specific times.
It works on Nokia S60, S40 (3rd edition) camera phones whereas recommended models are Nokia 3500 Classic, Nokia 6300, Sony Ericsson W810.For using the software with your own phone, you’d need to pay 2.5K INR.
