NEW DELHI: Moving beyond the four walls of corporates, malls and shops, video surveillance is set to become mobile, courtesy a new generation of devices allowing security monitoring through laptops, handsets and PDAs.
 
United States-based mobile manufacturer UTStarcom has come out with a pocket PC on CDMA platform and plans to make mobile video surveillance technology available in India.
 
"Using a black box, one can upload feeds from a surveillance camera to the Internet which in turn can be accessed through a mobile handset," UTStarcom Personal Communications Director-South Asia Mohit Kapoor said.
 
The company introduced its Pocket PC that functions on a CDMA platform allowing video surveillance through mobile handsets at the recently concluded Mobile Asia 2006.
 
Although, the black box is provided by another company, Fling, UTStarcom's product costs around Rs 33,000.
 
"We are targeting not only the corporates, shopkeepers and parents who want to keep tabs on children when they are away," Kapoor said.
 
Plustek Inc, an imaging solutions provider, recently announced the launch of a network camera, IPcam P1000A, in India that enables users to keep a watch on their homes, offices or operation facilities.
 
IPcam allows users to access feeds from a camera on laptops, Personal Digital Assistants and Internet enabled mobile phones and can support up to five users concurrently, who can be restricted through use of password protection.  The product has been priced at Rs 7,500.
