Sí, hablamos español (ok, Spanglish really)

Camiolog comenzó en México. Mis padres viven cerca de Puerto Vallarta durante gran parte del año. Les di una cámara y Camiolog como regalo para que pudieran permanecer cerca de la casa de sus sueños, incluso cuando están lejos.

Han tenido nuevos usos de Camiolog por decir lo menos. Era su casa en México que se quemó por un rayo y era su casa en Los Ángeles, donde tres coyotes casi comieron su perro.


Tres Coyotes... la traducción no es necesaria.

Estamos encantados de ofrecer Camiolog en español. No hemos traducido todos las páginas web al español, pero se puede utilizar la aplicación principal en español con www.camiolog.com?locale=es.

¡Disfrute!

53-second Setup. No Cables!

This feels like magic. I can mount an outdoor WiFi camera right out of the box. No cables! – Colin Maslan
Camiolog Installer #1

With this new Android app, your cameras are up and running in 53 seconds without ever needing access to a router or PC.
In the earliest days of Camiolog, Colin did most of the Bay Area installations so that we could learn quickly how to simplify setup. His biggest request: eliminate the need to connect to a PC or router - especially when installing outdoor cameras.

To experience the "magic", I recorded my out-of-the-box setup of a Sharx outdoor WiFi camera using nothing more than my phone:



No more crawling behind desks and cabinets to connect cables. Now Colin returns from his installations dust-bunny-free!

Pick up where you left off

When we leave our dog at home alone, I often search [ black dog ] for a quick check on how she's been doing.

But I'd have to repeat the same search each time I opened Camiolog, since the default search included all events from all cameras.

Now, Camiolog picks up right where you left off. Your last search is remembered as the starting point for the next time you open camiolog.com or the Camiolog app.

Click the X (highlighted above) in the Search Box to clear all search filters.
Since reloading camiolog.com no longer forgets your prior search, we've added an X button in the Search Box as a quick way to clear all search filters to get back to viewing all events from all cameras. The equivalent mobile app Menu option is Clear all filters.

This new "sticky start page" is especially helpful when you typically use Camiolog as the Guest of another user. Rather than having to select the Account of the person sharing with you each time you open Camiolog, you jump straight to the shared video images - whether viewing Live Motion or Search results.

p.s. - Live Motion View (#live) now includes a button on each camera to take you to the recent events of that particular camera.
