Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) last week announced the launch of Mobile LIVECam, a home surveillance device which operates on the 3G network, and is a standalone service available to all residential customers with an existing SingTel Mobile 3G account.

“The Mobile LIVECam will appeal to anyone who likes to keep an eye on the things that are close to their hearts. Families with aged parents, babies or problematic pets found the LIVECam service we launched last year to be extremely useful. The simple setup and use for Mobile LIVECam promises to further enhance this experience,” said Vicki Brady, Vice President of Consumer Marketing.

Each camera comes equipped with a SIM card and users simply place it at their selected location. They can then dial in to the camera’s assigned number from wherever they are using their 3G mobile phone in order to view the images. The device allows the user to remotely pan, tilt and zoom up to three times using the numeric keypad on their phone, enabling full control of the camera view. Image brightness, volume, on-the-fly recording and even image inverting are also supported.

The 0.3 megapixels camera provides quality video streaming and comes with a built-in microphone and 512 megabytes memory card for video recording. Additionally, the battery-operated camera requires no configuration or installation and is equipped with infra-red video capture to improve images in dark spaces and at night.

To sign up, customers either pay a one-time equipment fee of S$353.10 or through an installment plan of $13.91 per month for 24 months. Service subscription is $8.56 per month.
