CodeName iVy

A company called Lextex is working on an application that lets controlling surveillance devices via iPhone. The so called CodeName iVy project provides users with complete remote access to what is happening, including easy time-shifting — all from any computer or iPhone using the web browser. Apparently, this is also working over EDGE, even though we’re not eager to try it that way.

According to Lextex, traditional surveillance systems use a joystick or mouse to control camera positioning. With the iPhone, the user has the potential of a much more intuitive interface to drag the camera around and zoom in on things by pinching the picture. Sounds cool, but just wait to see how it looks in real life. Two video clips follow after the jump. Enjoy!
