Nokia camera sends MMS

A wall-mounted surveillance camera, the Nokia Observation Camera, that can send images directly to a cell phone will be available in the United States this summer. The device is among the first to use so-called machine-to-machine (M2M) technology, which lets machines use cellular telephone networks to communicate with computer systems or other machines, according to News.com.

The Nokia camera can be pointed at any area that needs to be monitored and set to send images automatically to an MMS-enabled handset or e-mail address at pre-determined intervals, when motion is detected, when a change in temperature is noted or when an SMS query is sent directly to the device. And it can also open a voice channel for live audio monitoring.
