Swann’s Capture-Cam Provides Live Streaming to Mobile Phones Great new products from Swann turn mobile phones into video controllers which are able to view footage from your cameras from anywhere in the world. MELBOURNE, April 3, 2007 - International security monitoring and do-it-yourself video surveillance specialists, Swann Communications has launched the Capture-Cam range that allows anyone to stream live video and audio to their mobile phone. According to Swann Global Marketing Manager, Mr Jeremy Stewart, linking live video from a webcam or surveillance cameras located at home or business to mobile phones is a big step forward for anyone with a mobile phone. “This range of products goes a long way towards turning video surveillance camera’s into lifestyle accessories,” Mr Stewart said. “The potential customised applications for viewing footage captured by video cameras via mobile phones are infinite. Let’s face it, everyone has a mobile phone these days.” Mobile phones have enormous market penetration and the advent of powerful 3G networks make them capable of so much more than just voice communications. Consumers are looking for new applications to take advantage of the increased bandwidth and to capitalise on the liberties that are associated with improved mobility. “Swann’s Capture-Cam range facilitates this demand and opens all manners of opportunities to utilise real-time video surveillance via mobile phones as a security or lifestyle application.” Swann’s Capture-Cam range includes two all-in-one, DIY retail packages. Capture-Cam Mobile comes with a high quality Max-i-Swann webcam as well as the software and instructions required to capture, manage and transmit video footage to a 3G phone. Capture-Cam Advanced comes with two OutdoorCam security cameras, a four-port PCI card, the Capture-Cam Software plus instructions and a manual. Both products record video to a PC. These images can then be made available over the Internet where it can be viewed via a phone browser or PC browser from anywhere in the world. Mobile phones can also act as remote access devices activating the surveillance system including camera and integrated products. Features such as preset scheduling of multiple camera activation, motion detection linked to customised alert messages, captured file playback capability and automatic live updates of software all offer broad flexibility for the user to find their own customised application. Intuitive software ensures that the set-up and management processes are very easy to use while the system is compatible with all Windows PCs (W2000+, 1.2GHz+ CPU, 512MB+ RAM) and accessible via most internet-enabled 3G phones. “The possibilities are endless,” Mr Stewart said. “In overseas markets, we have seen Swann cameras used to provide highly diverse surveillance activities. These include a pet checking service for holidaymakers wanting to see their cat or dog in pet accommodation facilities and night clubs broadcasting footage of their venues to people who might be considering where to go out for the night.” The products are the brainchild of Australian talent. Swann and the software developer, Capture-Cam, are locally based and owned, but have big plans to take the products to the rest of the world. Swann’s Capture-Cam Mobile is available now from Dick Smith Electronics, Dick Smith Powerhouse and Tandy stores with an RRP of $129. The 2 camera Capture-Cam Advanced has an RRP of $399.
