The rise of terrorism and local crime rates in many areas around the globe further heightened the need for homeowners to buy home security devices.

Now there is a way to monitor your home via mobile phones or PDA with HomeCamera.

The new HomeCamera service uses a webcam to let you see just what's going on at home from wherever you are in the world. Simply by logging on to the site from any web-enabled PC or mobile phone, you can use your webcam to take a "live" picture of what's happening at home at that exact moment. Users can also access pre-recorded images and video clips.

Your mobile phone or PDA must be equipped with an Internet browser. The best part - it's FREE until the commercial launch this October!
