While on vacation, Vincent Hunter received an alert from his iCam iPhone app : Something had result in the motion detectors in his home. He used the app to access his security cameras, called 911, and helplessly watched a burglary unfold.
While Hunter’s home security company had also contacted the authorities around a similar time as he did, the guy was still left watching two burglars leave his home before cops arrived. There are not any details about what was taken from the home and the burglars have not been caught.
The five dollar iCam iPhone app used by Hunter is somewhat akin to software it is advisable to install to observe your security system while far from home, but there’s something additionally frustrating seeming about pulling your iPhone out of your pocket to a devastating alert and watching the crime right there on the little screen.
