Home Eye

While you are away on a trip or at work, or maybe just grocery shopping for half an hour, there are times you may want to keep an eye on what is going on in the house, either because you have small children or mischievous pets. Home Eye is a neat software app that can turn your spare android phone or your PC's webcam into an online security camera,

The app works with a wide variety of "smart" devices, such as old smartphones, tablets, laptops or personal computers. Home Eye application allows you to use these devices as home security cameras, and having connected to the video stream remotely; you will see what’s happening. The monitoring system can be scheduled to run only on certain days of the week, during specified hours, such as when you are away to work.

If you can't spare the time to constantly look at the camera, you can use the motion detection system that sends you push notifications, emails and SMS messages whenever movement is detected by the camera. Additionally,  Home Eye creates the photos of the incident with the specified frequency. The created snapshots are automatically uploaded to the cloud storage so that you can be sure in the safety of the files. More so, whenever motion is detected, Home Eye can be programmed to turn on a loud signal, a sound that simulates an alarm which will play until the movement stops, and a few seconds after that.

Home Eye brins plenty of neat features to the table, especially considering that it has no costs associated with it, allowing you to turn any device with a camera into a security system without the need to buy any equipment. This makes it a great addition to the digital library of any fresh parent, pet owner, or anyone concerned about the safety of their valuables.
