InventHelp’s Invention Girl has recently learned about a new technology that enables business owners, parents and anyone else to monitor activity at their homes and offices via cell phones.

Inventors at mobiDEOS who developed a cell phone/PDA application for remotely viewing and controlling digital network-based surveillance cameras were honored as their MobileCamViewer was named as one of the best new products and inventions of 2009, according to the editors of Security Products. Indeed, the MobileCamViewer cell phone app was widely acclaimed by the media, including those reporting for Stores (“Apped to Change Behavior,” February 2010) to Dog Fancy (“Caught on Camera,” January 2010), not to mention AppCraver and BlackberryCentral.

Hailed as software programmed to work seamlessly with existing security cameras – precluding the expense of new equipment – the MobileCamViewer has been the focus of numerous positive, anecdotal experiences of business owners who have “phoned home” to discover that an employee failed to open the store on time or that there was a huge line of customers, for example. Seeing what the security cameras were transmitting via cell phone in real time enabled these retailers to take immediate action. Others felt that employees may be more honest and conscientious if they are aware of the potential for the owner or manager to tune into the store surveillance with MobileCamViewer.

Invention Girl will be on her best behavior at work from now on, just in case the bosses decide to use MobileCamViewer around InventHelp headquarters!
