A new application enables access to webcams through cellphones
Wireless Intellect Labs, a cellular technology R&D company based in Singapore, has developped an MMS camera application, called "Permodia" (for Personal Mobile Multimedia). It's a patent-pending, award winning system that enables anyone equipped with an Internet connection and a "webcam" to access the webcam using an MMS cell phone. Unlike regular webcams that transmit a continuous stream of data and use up a tremendous amount of bandwidth, Permodia takes pictures only when requested.
Anyone with an MMS-equipped phone, anywhere in the world, can access any number of public cameras connected to their server or by downloading their application, use it to connect their webcam/s to the server, and set up these cameras for private access (such as home monitoring) or public access.
