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.

Via chipsets has long been a familiar brand in the world of motherboard solutions for both the PC and mobile computers. And to help improve on their line of chipsets, Via has unveiled the VX855 chipset which allows HD video playback on mini-laptops by taking the computing-intensive task away from the core processor.

The VIA VX855 Media System Processor chipset integrates a DDR2 memory controller, a 400/800-MHz front side bus processor interface, and input/output capabilities in a single chip. The product supports VIA’s Nano, C7, and Eden processor lines.

The chipset makes high-definition video playback possible on mini-laptops, also called netbooks, by taking the computing-intensive task away from the core processor. The hardware supports a variety of video standards, including H.264, MPEG-2/4, VC-1, and WMV9.

The 1-inch-square chipset combined with one of VIA’s processors uses 46% less space on a motherboard than competing twin-chip, core logic implementations, according to VIA. In addition, the VIA package has a 2.3-watt power envelope, which means it does not need a cooling fan. This enables system builders to design smaller and lighter portable PCs.
