Belkin’s NetCam WiFi Camera with Night Vision keeps an eye out for ghosts while you’re out, hooks up with iOS / Android
Posted in: Today's Chili
Out of town for Halloween and worried that your empty house is getting filled with ethereal catburglars? You can’t even see what they’re taking! Belkin‘s got a solution for you with its new Wi-Fi NetCam, feeding your iOS or Android device (iOS 4.2 and up; Android 2.2 and up) a streaming video of, well, anywhere you decide to puts its NetCam. Belkin thankfully doesn’t expect you to leave on your house lights while out of town, which is why the NetCam comes equipped with night vision, “for clear viewing even in low or no light;” also — as Ghost Hunters tell us — for spotting apparitions on the spectral plane. And great for catching your 14-year-old before he walks out at midnight with a carton of eggs!
The Belkin Wi-Fi NetCam is available now for online order directly from Belkin or via Amazon at $130, and arrives at US retailers in the coming months — the NetCam app is already available on the iOS App Store and Google Play. We can’t help but think it’d be a great pairing with Belkin’s WeMo Switch, especially considering it’ll take you one step closer to the Back to the Future 2 future we were all promised.

In spite of an era that is dominated by iPhone 5s, Galaxy smartphones, and Nexus devices, Research In Motion continues to prove its reliability in terms of security, at least to the Pentagon. The Pentagon, the heart of America’s security and defense, said today that it will continue to use and support BlackBerry phones. This is definitely a good news for the struggling BlackBerry maker, considering that the U.S. military has plans of using other devices such as the iPhone from Apple.
Smartphones these days do come with far more accessories compared to the vanilla handsets of yesteryears. This time around, we have the Samsung Smart Dock which is said to function best with the (what else but the) Samsung Galaxy Note 2. This is a rather interesting accessory, where it allows your spanking new Galaxy Note 2 to function somewhat like a computer. The Smart Dock itself will feature a slate of different bunch of ports for your Galaxy Note 2 to make full use of.
In a desperate attempt to counter the growing number of smartphone thefts in the U.S., carriers are now working together to introduce databases that will prevent stolen phones from functioning on their networks. It is reported that in 2011 alone, roughly 38 percent of all robberies recorded in Washington were actually smartphone thefts. The condition is much more worse in New York, where more than 40 percent of accounted robberies are considered to be smartphone related.
