24th September 2004 - Nokia today announced a wireless
home monitoring solution with an integrated motion detector,
the Nokia Remote Camera. With the ability to capture
megapixel-quality images and video clips with sound,
even in low-light and outdoor conditions, the Nokia
Remote Camera brings a new twist to remote monitoring.
The device is expected to become available in the fourth
quarter of 2004 in Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific,
with the expected retail price of 450 EUR.
Combining a digital camera, GSM transceiver and MMS
technology in the same unit, the Nokia Remote Camera
can be used in a number places that need to be observed:
including home, summer cottage, warehouse, or even a
boat.
"The Nokia Remote Camera offers added convenience
for those needing an extra pair of ears and eyes to
observe their private property in a time-saving way,"
said Janne Jormalainen, Vice President of Mobile Enhancements
Business Unit at Nokia. "The improved feature set
includes a megapixel camera with zoom, video and audio
capture, possibility for outdoor use and easy configuration
via Bluetooth technology."
Consumers looking to add extra peace of mind to their
lives will also find the Nokia Remote Camera both easy
to install and convenient to use. The camera does not
require a physical connection to a landline or to the
Internet; all it needs is a regular main power supply
and access to a GSM network. After inserting a SIM card,
entering the PIN code and defining at least one user,
the Nokia Remote Camera is ready for use.
The Nokia Remote Camera sends images or video clips
with sound to an MMS-enabled handset or e-mail address
when motion is detected, at pre-defined intervals, or
when an SMS query is sent directly to the device. Users
can also receive notifications when a minimum or maximum
temperature has been reached, and can even view the
temperature history for the past 24 hours as a graph.
Users can control the camera via text messages or by
using Bluetooth wireless technology, and the extended
user access allows more than one person to control the
device. The Remote Camera Manager application provides
an enhanced user experience via graphical user interface
for those owning a Series 60 smartphone, such as the
Nokia 6670, Nokia 7610 or the Nokia 6600. The Nokia
Remote Camera comes with a stand for placing it on a
table, as well as a wall or ceiling mount, and a clip-on
shield for outdoor use.
