Cellular phones have become extremely versatile tools. They are no longer used simply for just placing phone calls. A new and emerging trend is to use your cell phone for remote video surveillance of your home or business. A company called EyeSpyFX provides free webcam monitoring software that is designed just for that purpose. Their mobile video surveillance software, called EyeSpyFX Webcam, allows you to create your own webcam monitoring service. We will explore some of the features and benefits of this service throughout the remainder of this article.

This webcam viewing software works by broadcasting a live webcam page displaying the images captured by any webcam you have connected to your local network. Once you download and install the software package to your local PC, you can use any standard web camera to capture and broadcast live images. Live images can be accessed either through a standard PC with internet connection, or web enabled cell phone. When accessed through a cell phone, the broadcast web page will automatically optimize to suit your specific mobile phone.

The EyeSpyFX Webcam software comes with many unique features and benefits. These include:

  • Remote camera control -- If you have a web camera that has pan/tilt/zoom functionality, you can use EyeSpyFX Webcam to manage these controls remotely. In addition, you can also use your cell phone to take remote snapshots as well.
     
  • Privacy protection -- EyeSpyFX Webcam provides extra security and privacy protection controls to ensure an unauthorized user cannot gain access to your web cameras or video feeds.
     
  • Simple to use -- This software package is designed to be simple and easy to use. Once you download the software, it can be installed in a matter of seconds and will work with any ISP regardless of bandwidth connection speed. It will also function regardless of whether the broadcasting computer utilizes a dynamic or fixed IP address. The software is also designed to work with all standard web cameras and with any GPRS/GSM color picture phone.

This free service is ideal for home surveillance monitoring activities because you can have instant access to your web camera no matter what your location. It brings a completely new level of convenience to remote video surveillance. Having such versatile access to the web cameras in your home will provide you with a great deal of comfort and flexibility. You can rest assured that your child or pets are happy and well cared knowing that you have instant access to their condition. It can also be a comfort for those of you who travel extensively to know that you can always have access to live images of your home, simply by picking up your phone.

When mobile phones first came out, they redefined how we communicated with one another. Now companies like EyeSpyFX are able to utilize these devices to redefine the way we think about video surveillance. No doubt, we will continue to experience the benefits and convenience of this technology in new and more innovative ways for a long time to come.me.
