CUPERTINO (dpa-AFX) - Manything, an IFTTT channel, allows users to turn an iPhone, iPad or iPod into a security camera. The app can be placed in a home and turned on via motion detector, streaming live footage to a remote console.
'Manything fits into what the 'Internet of Things' is really all about - taking everyday objects and adding a new level of control to save money and to make life easier,' said Manything CEO and co-founder James West.
'Homeowners can now add sophisticated video monitoring to the list of things they can control while away. Best of all, they don't need to buy a dedicated camera to achieve this.'
Manything includes a continuous recording fallback mode, which can be activated in the instance that Wi-fi falters. Users can watch live, replay a recording can skips to spots where motion was detected, or program it to receive immediate alerts when motion is detected.
'Future planned upgrades on the drawing board will include remote control and sharing functions to allow control of cameras remotely from the Manything app and to share video directly from the app via Facebook, Twitter or email,' added West.
