Futon Blog

Often on the Futon Blog, I share useful home products, stylish furnishings, and sometimes talk about whatever I want. Well, tonight I wanted to share a cool digital surveillanceproduct I just found on MobiWatcher.com, a site that carries personal home surveillance products.

Here’s how the service works, via MobiWatcher:

1. Live video or snapshots are recorded by the Camera or web Cam in the monitored spot in case of any the following 3 happens:
   * Sensor triggered. Like doors or windows are breaking, and sensors are triggered.
   * Motion detection. Many IP cameras and web cams have such function
   * Manually operated. Some device comes with remote to mannually trigger surveillance system. It is extremely useful for sensors, children or in emergency.
2. Snapshots are upload to MobiWatcher server so that users can investigate later on
3. Depends on user’s setting, alerts may be sent out as email or Short Message to cell phone
4. Users can check real time snapshots from our website or from their cell phone
5. Users can disarm, re-arm the surveillance system from our website or from their cell phone, or report to 911 after they check snapshot or recorded snapshots.
6. Users can actively view real time snapshots on demand anytime, or control the aplliance from our web site or cell phone.

A service like that should give you a little peace of mind when you’re out, and if anything does happen, at least you’ll know how, what, who, and when it all went down. Sounds nice, no?

Check it out and,
