iPhone Security Camera? | Your Eye On Security

by Eric Osuna

Is a new app by developer Crowded Road to be used with Apple’s iPhone. The idea is to turn your iPhone into a spying device. 

As Macworld reports, the app offers two camera related functions:

“Frequency capture, which lets you set a specific frequency for how often the iPhone’s camera will take a photo, and audio trigger, which takes a photo whenever a customizable, pre-defined level of noise is detected. A third mode, frequency and audio, combines the two features, taking photos at predetermined intervals as well as whenever the sound threshold is met. All photos are time and date stamped. “

With a $1 price-tag, the app is cheap and relatively cool, but we at Home Security Store agree with Macworld when they say the only thing that would make the app truly worthy of its name would be the addition of motion activation and video-recoding options.
