A Skype-based home webcam
January 13, 2012
I know that many of you are interested in homecam solutions, and it's certainly something that brings a lot of enjoyment to my automated home. A new camera system from Lorex has really caught my eye. The camera itself is wireless, but it has the unique (and brilliant) feature of using Skype for outside communication. That is, instead of having to mess around with firewalls, DNS registration, or third-party monitoring sites, you simply "call" the camera using a computer or smartphone. If it works as well as it seems, it's a great leap forward in home webcam configuration. See TUAW for a hands-on review.
