Honeywell has added new video capabilities to its popular, award-winning Total Connect Remote Services. In addition to remote control capabilities and notifications, Total Connect now integrates with IP cameras that employ video analytics enabling customers to receive event-driven e-mails with video clips when something of interest has been triggered by cameras.
Video e-mails can be received on web-enabled devices, such as laptops, desktops and most new cell phones as well as BlackBerry®, Apple iPhone® and iPod Touch® products. The new Total Connect allows consumers to use the Apple iPhone or iPod touch to look into their homes and businesses and view live video, remotely pan and tilt cameras, manually record video clips and take snapshots.
The new IP cameras and built-in analytics let Total Connect monitor for specific events such as a person approaching a front door or a child returning home from school, and can alert consumers via e-mail or text messages. The system can be programmed, for example, to detect motion in a certain area such as a front door step and use e-mail to alert a homeowner, who can then view the camera images remotely from a mobile device even if they are miles away. The system can also be programmed to e-mail consumers a picture or series of pictures when a specific event has occurred.
