A security camera or security camera repels or identifies burglars. Nowadays it is very easy to use the surveillance camera with an iPhone app. You can watch (live) surveillance images, including earlier recordings. Thanks to the handy iPhone app you can take immediate action or alert the police.
View images via the smartphone
In the past, you could only look back afterwards in the area of surveillance camera, or you had to stare at a screen continuously. This is very different nowadays. Viewing images via the smartphone is a modern solution. How does this work exactly? Download and install the app for iOS (iPhone). This app is free and not only suitable for iPhone but also Android devices and PC (Windows, Mac and OS). Wherever you are, you can always watch live or recorded images with you. With movement you receive a push notification on the smartphone.
Strong wireless signal
Cable-free cameras run on powerful batteries, but cabling is always possible. The wireless signal goes right through walls and works at a distance of up to 40 meters. This is the distance between the surveillance camera and recorder: not the one with the smartphone. There is no maximum distance for contact between camera and smartphone. The system works even when you are on the other side of the world, as long as you have an internet connection on the iPhone.
Operation via the app
The so-called smart security cameras can be operated with the app. This applies not only to viewing images but also to adjusting settings. The condition is that the camera system connects to the Wi-Fi network. Via the internet it is possible to use the smartphone as a remote control: the camera responds immediately. If the settings do not work, then this is visible via the app.
What does a security camera with iPhone app cost?
The question is of course what a good security camera / security camera costs, especially when it communicates with an iPhone app. This kind of security cameras are for everyone: from simple and inexpensive to professional. The price depends on the camera system (number of cameras and type of recorder), but also on issues such as image quality, night vision and much more.
To give you an idea: an IP camera with pan / tilt and iPhone app is available from € 99.95. You connect this camera wirelessly to a PC, but also to the free app. Of course, more expensive systems are also available. If you opt for a professional comprehensive security camera set with 4k Ultra HD image quality and 16 dome cameras, you pay a price from € 4000. This seems like a lot, but is a good investment for companies and luxury or large homes. These types of systems also offer the possibility to view live images via an iPhone app.
