A month ago we posted an article about Lextex’s surveillance app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. It’s been officially announced, it’s called iRa, and it brings the power of multiple live video feeds and direct camera pan-tilt-zoom control in the palm of your hand.
iRa’s intuitive interface lets users to access multiple video feeds (from their own security cameras) over WiFi. The capabilities to view videos full screen, physically move cameras, and zoom with a single touch (from an iPod Touch or iPhone) work together seamlessly to create situational awareness.
According to the official release, iRa fits organizations with one or more facilities that need to cover a large amount of square footage and wherever keeping one or more security guards mobile is important — i.e. shopping malls, parking lots/garages, museums, power plants, government labs, etc. The product will be available for purchase in late July. In the meantime, you can get more information from Lextech Labs website.
