There are some service providers hosting digital home
surveillance service out there, but what makes MobiWatcher , Home monitoring from cell phone service provider, standing out.
The first killer reason is our open platform. Unlike other
service which only support specific video capture device, for example, web cam
or some specific IP camera, Mobiwatcher is designed and created with
compatibility and flexibility in mind at the first day, and is becoming such a
open platform that any IP camera and web cam can be hooked in our system and
function immediately. This unique advantage requires no purchase new hardware
to enjoy our service thus reduces the cost of ownership, and opens the door to
a huge potential user base.
The second killer reason is the usability. IP video surveillance will be the next big
wave in surveillance and security industry, and is the choice in the digital
era. However, set up and configure
an IP camera can be a daunting task even for an experienced IT
professional, and almost a mission impossible for a regular family or business
user. To make IP Camera easy to configure and use is the major motivation to
create mobiWatcher, which can help regular users to set up and install an IP
camera in the following aspects:
- Auto
Camera detection
- Auto
DDNS register and configuration to handle dynamic IP address
- Auto
port forwarding mapping in router for most routers
- Auto
configure most common settings such as NTP,FTP,SMP, WIFI, Port, in IP
Camera
- Auto
set up account with mobiWatcher, and user will find their device just
working magically.
The another advantage is that mobiwatcher service is
integrated seamlessly with our free mobile client so that user can solely use
cell phone to manage their video capture device, such as turn it on/off motion
detection, turn on/off alarm, receive alerts, view real time snapshot or
recorded images, directly in cell phone. It actually opens a new space in
mobile world for the application of IP
surveillance.
The last advantage of mobiwatcher is potential application in
home automation with its pre-built remote control feature. It is every easy to
plug in a http X10 controller in our system to control the lights or small consumer
appliance with cell phone.
