One of the newest applications for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, the iCam is now available for watching your home when you are away from it. Popularly used to monitor activity in a room of the house, the webcam-based application allows users to check in on babies, pets, children and general activity of the household. Mothers and fathers can use the app to watch the baby sleep or the children play while s/he works in the home office, or users working away from home can check in on the family pets. Other users may set up the camera in a central location of the house as a security camera.
Whatever the use, the iCam application can provide security, peace of mind or general fun in a handy and sensibly priced format. The iCam application runs on a source file to link your camera–set up wherever you wish to monitor–to your iPhone. You do not need to be on the same network. As long as your internet connection is fast enough, like WAN or 3G, you can log in to watch the streaming video. In fact, another perk is available–you can watch up to four webcams at once to monitor the baby, the kid, the dog and the fish in their activities.
The sound on the app may lag behind real time, but the quality is decent enough to catch conversations, baby whimpers and puppy barks. Additionally, the field notification can help you identify when someone enters the field of view. Therefore, if your dog digs through the trash or a burglar roots through your belongings, you receive a text as soon as the person or animal moves into view, alerting you any activity you may wish to watch. ICam has become popular with users world wide, catching criminals, supervising sleeping babies and entertaining users with the many applications the app provides.
