American Dynamics, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, has introduced the VideoEdge Go mobile application for use with VideoEdge NVR (network recorder).
The app is compatible with iOS devices, including the iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini and iPod Touch. Designed to extend the security reach for VideoEdge users, the app provides remote monitoring and forensic capabilities wherever the location. By using the app, users can receive the latest information as a critical situation unfolds, and respond to the event. Stephan Beckmann, product marketing manager, EMEA, for American Dynamics, said: “VideoEdge Go is based on the latest mobile application technology, and extends the capabilities of security directors beyond their desktop. Our family of mobile apps enables security professionals to receive instant updates provided on business intelligence and the ability to act upon it wherever they may be.”
The app allows users to save snapshots or video clips to a photo library on their iOS-based device, or send the images via MMS or email for forensic investigation. Users can control PTZ cameras, perform digital zoom functions or search and play back recorded video. To navigate the app, you use standard iPhone or iPad multi-touch gestures. The app provides video over wifi, 3G or 4G connections. The application is available for free download at the iTunes App Store. For more about American Dynamics, visit www.americandynamics.net.
