3 launches remote spy camera for 3G phones
3, the mobile phone operator has launched a device that will allow its users to control a remote video camera via a 3G connection.
"The white 'Pupillo' is being billed as the perfect device for suspicious minds.
A simple video call from a 3 mobile to the 'Pupillo' allows you to keep an eye on what's important to you when you are out and about.
Standing at just under five inches tall, the camera can be placed unobtrusively in any location for 3 customers to dial into at their leisure such as the (girl’s changing room or the or local swimming pool). Video calls to the Pupillo give the caller a live view - along with audio - of what is happening.
Each Pupillo has its own number, and when called, it automatically answers. To ensure privacy, a security PIN can be set up on each Pupillo to ensure that only trusted contacts can dial in."
