SingTel's new LIVEcam home surveillance system combines mobile technology with old fashioned security cameras. The camera, which is password protected and SIM card enabled, allows users to dial in to see what's going on at the home front. Pan, tilt, and zoom features are all controlled from the keypad of your cellphone.
The 0.3 megapixel camera comes with a built-in microphone and 512 megabytes of memory video recording. The camera is battery-operated, allowing it to be completely portable. It requires no configuration or installation and is equipped with infra-red video capture to improve images in dark spaces and at night.
The best thing about this package is the whole shebang costs less than $300.
