CamioCam Top 40 Debut

CamioCam debuted in the top 40 startups at LAUNCH Festival last week. It's a digerati crowd... the tech enthusiasts... the power users... the people to thrill first on the way to smart video monitoring for everyone. Their excitement for making video useful - with fast digests, low bandwidth, and any camera input - has prompted people around the world to start using CamioCam (translations coming!)

CamioCam Brings Ambitious Search Smarts to Video

CamioCam Turns Any Web Or Video Camera Into A Smart, Cloud-Based Monitoring Device

Our LAUNCH stage demo covered the "action" on my my front lawn. All my demos are limited to my own account. And you're probably much more interested in what's happening at your own place. So now you can use CamioCam free with your Android phone or tablet as the camera.

The CamioCam Android app records and alerts you for free.

Nothin' but Browser

A common maxim among photographers is that “the best camera is the one you have with you.” We agree. Dedicated security cameras can’t be beat, but almost everyone has a perfectly good webcam built into their computer.

That’s why we’re so excited to preview CamioCam Web, which turns any (modern) web browser into a full-fledged security camera with nary a download.

Just open www.camiolog.com/cam to record. That's it.

It's simple and free for anyone with a webcam to get advanced motion detection, smart alerts, fast search, and easy sharing. It’s great in a pinch, or to try out Camiolog before buying standalone cameras. 

Just open www.camiolog.com/cam to start recording. Close the page to stop. Give it a try and, as always, let us know what you think!

Update: get CamioCam as a Chrome App too.

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!

Events at-a-glance

Want to see a quick summary of your video at-a-glance?
Now, whenever you pass your mouse over an event, you'll see a 2x-speed animation of the whole event sequence. In this screencast, I use the new color search feature with the query
[ front red yesterday 8pm events ]


Events can be animated, expanded, or collapsed with these actions:

animate	- move your mouse over the event
expand	- click on the event's green bar graph
collapse	- click on the expanded event's color-coded bar

On your smartphone or tablet, where you have no mouse, click on the event bar graph to start the animation.

Enjoy!

p.s. - click a timestamp (e.g. "8:05:24 PM") to show results second-by-second starting at that time.
p.p.s. - the keyboard shortcut character 'e' toggles to/from viewing events.

Compressing Time at a Watering Hole in Kenya

It's a thrill to see wild animals on the other side of the planet. But it's nighttime in Kenya when we're awake here. And even when we stay up late, there's no guarantee we'll tune-in at just the right time to catch an elephant or zebra. 

Zebra Moon: Camio of their sunset salutation to Mount Kilimanjaro

But now we can search [watering hole kenya] to compress weeks of video images into the watering hole highlights.

Rather than wading through lots of dark night images and weather changes over the course of many days, you can jump straight to the activity at the watering hole.

tip: Camiolog automatically purges content older than 30 days. But when you create a limited timespan Camio like the one on the left, you also prevent its content from being purged until you delete the Camio.

Beyond Keyboards and Mice

The visual world around us is obviously a critical source of information. We have amazing eyes. Attached to very big brains. Both took a while to develop.

Yet most of the information we get from computers originates from keyboards and mice. What if the visual and audible world could become a real-time source of useful information?
