AirBeam turns your iDevices into a realtime audio and video surveillance system. AirBeam streams live video and audio from the cameras and microphones of iPhones, iPods, iPads. You can watch the stream on any other iDevice, Mac, Web browser or AppleTV - even on multiple screens simultaneously.

Use your iDevices as luxury babyphones, for serious surveillance, to keep an eye on your pets, a FPV cam in your remote controlled toys…there are hundreds of useful and not so useful things you can do with it. Even if you have just a single device AirBeam is an awesome tool for motion controlled video recording.

AirBeams features in detail:
* High Quality Realtime: Watch video and hear audio on your remote device in amazing quality with resolution up to Full-HD 1080p, 30 frames per second and CD quality audio. Watch and hear in realtime thanks to AirBeams low latency encoding and transmission technology.

* Recording: Seeing or hearing something on AirBeam you want to remember? Just press the record button and the video and audio will be recorded. You can also capture still images.

* Motion and audio detection: Trigger alarms or recordings when something happens in front of the camera to create a single track of events that happened during a day.

* Two-way audio: Audio streaming works both ways so that you can also talk through the camera device.

Important notes
=============
* Best video quality is achieved when AirBeam is used within a local WiFi network. With port forwarding configured in your WiFi router it is also possible to monitor AirBeam cameras on your WiFi at home from anywhere in the Internet. Do do this you need to configure a port forwarding for port 8123 in your WiFi router - see the FAQ pages on our homepage for more details. And check your data plan, live video over cellular consumes quite some bandwidth...
* Please consider regulations for video surveillance in your country.

Pros and cons of AirBeam Video Surveillance app for iPhone and iPad

AirBeam Video Surveillance app good for

I do recommend this app. It works very well and have multiple uses. It does what it says.

I use the app with my old iPhone 4S and it works magically! I bought the bundle with the Videography and FaceSnap too. I just have some thoughts about AirBeam: - The app could have a better and easier system to use when Im not on the same WiFi network as the camera side, or when Im not at home. Now for this to work I have to change the Public IP address on my WiFi router. So for people who doesnt know how to do it is a pain in the neck. It could work like other surveillance apps (Athome and Manything) easier than never. - The app could have compatibility with different cloud providers, not just Dropbox. Amazon cloud drive, One Drive, Mega, and many other services. - Implement an IFTTT connections to connect many other apps and services with Airbeam.

Funktioniert wie beschrieben, gute Performance und toller Funktionsumfang. 1A

I am loving this app for so many reasons, not to mention its free!

I use it as a baby monitor. Great sound and video quality over wifi N network. Night mode works well also, but your baby should be immune to flash light that goes on for night view. For quick checks at night it works for us. Good job!!!

It really works! Im using it to monitor my baby sleeping when Im in another room.

Some bad moments

Thé app does ont seem to work on iPhone 3GS, i added thé app on both iPhone and iPad but there is a bug on thé iPhone 3GS. Every time i try to launch the camera it closes the app...

The app does not work anymore with Synology. Tested with mjpeg but synology cannot use the cam.

Works ok, but after installing my ring and notifications alerts were silenced. Had to uninstall and restart phone. Ringer works again.

NOT really! Updated Review: —————————— Just noticed SMTP user name and password must be filled or this App won’t be able to send e-mail! Developers should remember that there are certain part of universe (Canada) that cable service providers do NOT require user name & password when sending e-mail inside their residential. So, it’s OK and a MUST to leave them empty! ………………….. 1st Review: —————————— But very basic. Compare to other similar Apps, this one is a lot more stable and provides much better and more clear screen. Here’s hopping developers have not abandoned this and continue making enhancements and improvements.

Would be a great app except that if you leave it running it crashes every couple of days. Thus as a longterm remote monitoring, security or webcam app its useless.

If you have an older iPod (3G) and using a Galileo motorised stand with Airbeam, updating to Airbeam 2 on a newer iPod or iPhone will render the apps useless. They are incompatible and it seems you cannot revert to an older version of the app. So your Galileo motorised stand will become useless. To bad. Just a bunch of money in the trash.
