Platinum Protection joins the home security bandwagon as it releases its own versions of remote home security to enable people to monitor their homes via a live video stream to their phone. We have seen a lot of apps and interfaces launched from recent weeks and this time we see another made for the two leading smartphones in demand in the market today.

The home security system app provides live camera feeds from your home and also allows you to remotely adjust pan-tilt cameras and review stored video footages. In the event of a break in, the system will automatically record a video clip of the burglar and immediately send the home owner a notification by text that the alarm has gone off.

Once a homeowner receives the notification, they can open the app on their phone and view the saved video clip seconds after the break in occurred.

The Platinum Protection Security System is free for download at their site.

We are pretty much aware that mobile surveillance has been growing by leaps and bounds and seeing a special software made for the iPhone or the iPod Touch to act as a medium isn’t really surprising. And now, videoNEXT unveils a trio of mobile video apps which should come in handy for consumers which operate on 3G or WiFi networks where available.

The three mobile video apps from videoNEXT are:

• CAVU FREE - allows users to directly connect to IP cameras (Axis and Panasonic BB & BL Series) and monitor them remotely. Cost: None.
• CAVU - connects to any of videoNEXT’s SKM video management solutions (SKM-Cirrus, SKM-Stratus and SKM-Altus). Provides a live camera matrix; live full screen video with pan, tilt and zoom controls; playback of recorded video from any camera; a real-time alarm/event log with video playback; and alarm acknowledgment. Cost: $19.99.
• CAVU PRO - includes features of CAVU, plus multi-server capability. It uses the iPhone’s camera to stream live video back to any SKM-video management system. CAVU PRO also offers GPS position tracking on Google Earth maps and allows the use of pan-tilt-zoom pre-sets. Cost: $49.99.

Already known to be among the pioneers in providing surveillance software and security featured solutions, these new additions should be a big boost to the security efforts needed by industries that require a different level of security.
