The following blog post
is a case study into the device ADS-450 SwannSmart Wi-Fi Network Camera that
allows live recording and allows data to be transmitted over network that can
be viewed live on a handheld device.
Description
Swann is a well known retail
company, known worldwide, that are experts in security monitoring solutions and
I.T. peripherals. They have many different products but the one is relevant to
this case study is ADS-450 Wi-Fi network camera.
This Wi-Fi camera is not
an ordinary IP camera due to its functionality that allows it to connect to ‘cloud’
and saves all the recording. This can be later accessed by any PC or a handheld
device from anywhere in the world but requires signing up to cloud service.
Furthermore, this device
is also activated by motion that generates an event trigger. This trigger records
that particular event and an alert message is generated, sent to your handheld
device. Depending on the contents of the video an appropriate action can be
taken.
