La tecnologia dell’innovativo sistema di videosorveglianza DearHome permette di avere un controllo totale della propria abitazione, in streaming e direttamente sul proprio dispositivo mobile (audio-video in HD). Non richiede alcuna modifica all’impianto elettrico ma si integra perfettamente ad esso in maniera pratica, intuitiva e sicura. La telecamera DearHome occupa un solo modulo all’interno della scatola portafrutto e necessita esclusivamente del collegamento alla comune alimentazione 220 Vac. Il dispositivo vanta tre protocolli di comunicazione (RTSP, P2P e ONVIF) tramite un modulo Wi-Fi integrato, non richiede dunque l’installazione di cavi aggiuntivi. DearHome utilizza un server Amazon (AWS) ed un’applicazione, entrambe ad essa dedicate. Il firmware della telecamera si aggiorna in automatico da remoto. Il dispositivo consente l’archiviazione del flusso audio-video mediante una micro-SD ed è compatibile con la maggior parte degli NVR.
