HomeCamera Client 5.0

HomeCamera Client 5.0 designed as an effective Internet home surveillance service for people who need an easy-to-use (yet full-featured) home monitoring solution, without spending thousands of dollars on fancy equipment, and without enlisting the help of the neighbourhood tech genius.

The service has been designed for non-technical users and does not require an understanding of DDNS, port forwarding, network address translation, or any other router or firewall fiddling. Commonly needed features such as motion detection alerts, recording, camera sharing, are well supported.

Major Features:

1. Is Easy to Setup: you don't need a degree in home networking to setup HomeCamera. Simply download the free Windows 1 webcam security software, enter your HomeCamera user ID and password, enter a name for your webcam (such as "home" or "livingroom"), and hit Connect. You're done!
2. Is Easy to Access: login to your HomeCamera account from any browser on any PC (or even a PDA or mobile phone!) and click on View to access your webcam, as many times as you like, all day, every day, from anywhere in the world.
3. Can Be Accessed from Mobile Phones Worldwide: We use a technology called "WAP" to deliver pictures (and "WAP Push" to deliver videos) to mobile phone users around the world. This means, so long as you have a video player on your phone, it's likely you can access HomeCamera through it - and if you don't have a video player, you could still access pictures. It also means you do not need to subscribe to 3G / wireless-broadband / evdo / whatchamacallit fancy-schmancy high-speed-mobile-service to use HomeCamera.
4. Is Full-featured: all the advanced Internet home surveillance features you'll need are included, and more features are being added all the time. HomeCamera supports motion detection (pictures and videos can be sent to your email or your mobile phone), webcam sharing (so you can share access to your cameras with family members), time lapse recording (you can setup HomeCamera to automatically record pictures and videos from your webcams onto server, and access your recordings at any time), and more!
5. Works with all Webcams: you don't need to buy an expensive new camera - HomeCamera probably works with the webcam you already own (it even works with CCTV cameras and specific network / wifi / Internet cameras).
6. Is Free: During public beta, HomeCamera is completely free.They promise they'll be very very affordable and all early beta trialists will receive special prices as way of saying "Thank you for helping build the world's easiest to use Internet home surveillance camera system".

Enhancements: Version 5.0 includes better Web cam support, significant improvement in motion detection, and better support for netbooks.
