| 4Home’s remote monitoring service allows you to be there now, anytime– to have complete control at a distance of your connected home. The service supports a variety of IP cameras so you can choose one that is best for your needs, and via UPnP the 4Home will automatically discover and present in the user-interface the IP cameras video streams. Beyond just seeing live video cameras in a browser window or on your Smartphone, the remote monitoring service enables the recording of the video streams to local disks in the home or remotely to Internet |  |

You can have certain triggers, such as a trigger from a motion detector or window/door access contact, start and stop video recording, and intelligently search the logged video for the important moments.The remote monitoring service allows you to control, manage, and monitor any home system or appliance. For example, you can have the home lighting and music system turned on just before you get home with the touch of a button from your mobile phone. Remotely turn up or down the thermostat for heating/cooling comfort. See if you left the lights on after you left home, or turn on the lights when you are away to deter thieves. View energy usage of connected systems, and make adjustments on the fly to conserve energy and save money. Total management and control of all your devices and systems is possible locally inside the home as well, of course—in essence home automation—but with the “4-screen” paradigm of the 4Home software, you can do this from any screen (PC, TV, mobile device, touch panel) throughout the home and in a consistent yet customized user-interface just to your preferences. All this and more is possible with the 4Home Remote Monitoring service for OEM partners. | |
