Qool Callisto: 3G remote camera
Everyday, we are leaving our house/apartment for working. If the house is empty, nobody will look after and watch for your belongings. CCTV and standard security will not us make relief, since we cannot see real-time condition of our place.
Well, the story above is so yesterday. In the era of 3G connectivity, we can control every moment occurred in our place using 3G remote camera. One product that fulfill the requirement is Qool Callisto, made by Singapore’s Qool Labs.
How this thing works? Callisto remote camera is actually using regular SIM card. Works on GSM/UMTS frequency (900/1800/1900), we can actually call the camera to display what the camera has snapped in real time occasion. To prevent any possible malicious, we can set password and create authorized numbers list. If being set, only number that listed can make a call to remote camera.
Besides camera, this remote camera also has microphone that allow person-who is standing in front of it-to make conversation with the phone which has called it. Moreover, we can control camera behavior using our phone-as remote control. Once connected, here is the button’s remote translation:
4 : turn camera left
6 : turn camera right
5 : turn the sensor off
# : turn infrared sensor on for night vision
The phone can be used to record video as long as 8 hours and make video call as long as 2.2 hours. Also, we can take picture using the phone by sending SMS “take plot m” and the camera will reply with MMS containing 800×600 JPEG picture.
