Main Features and Options
AtHome Video Streamer provides several unique features. The program (and the live feed) can be accessed via a 3G or a 4G wireless connection. Thus, monitoring an environment with the use of a smartphone is a possibility. In the event that motion is detected, the IP camera will alert the user through a push notification. Two-way communications are likewise possible by utilising a built-in microphone and speaker. The camera can be tilted or rotated to focus in on a specific area if necessary.
Other Applications
Please note that the wireless connections between AtHome Video Streamer and a personal device are encrypted. Multiple platforms are supported including both Windows and Mac operating systems. This software is able to run in ´background mode´, so hidden recording is a possibility. All videos can be saved for playback at a later time.
