The phrase denotes a type of mobile application, specifically designed for Apple’s iOS operating system, that facilitates remote video monitoring. Functionality typically includes live video streaming, recording capabilities, and potentially, motion detection alerts. An example is an application allowing users to observe a location remotely via their iPhone using a compatible camera.
This application category offers benefits such as enhanced security through real-time surveillance, increased peace of mind by enabling remote observation of children or pets, and potential use in professional settings for monitoring premises. The development of such apps reflects advancements in mobile technology and the increasing demand for accessible and convenient monitoring solutions. The evolution of this technology stems from earlier closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, adapted for mobile devices and wireless networks.
