View Home and Business Security Cameras on Your Android Phone

Many of the newest PDA phones now run on the Google Android operating system. While these phones have many features and applications, as they are newer to the market, not many home and business security camera systems have supported these phones for remote viewing over the internet. However, even for those with the newest Droid Incredible, EVO, Samsung Epic or other Android PDA phones, you can now view security cameras right in the palm of your hands. There are several options for remotely viewing your home or business security cameras including a PC-Based DVR Card and software that will install into your PC, and standalone DVRs that will plug into your cameras and broadcast over the internet.

The easiest and most basic home and business security camera systems use a standalone DVR. These basic DVR devices have inputs for the security cameras, and record from the cameras onto an internal hard drive when motion is detected. These systems are the easiest for installation and several standalone DVRs like our H.264 model DVR-2644S, DVR-2649S and DVR-26416S standalone DVRs even provide a web browser based remote viewing that works with most smartphones like all Google Android PDA phones. These DVRs offer a basic remote viewing up to 4 cameras at once and can refresh up to 1 frame per second. While more basic than PC-Based options, a standalone DVR is a great replacement for older DVRs or VCR based systems. If you already have cameras, simply unplug the cameras from your monitor, VCR or DVR and plug into the new model DVR that supports Android PDA remote viewing, and you will be able to view your cameras over the internet from a PDA smartphone.

For the more advanced user, PC-Based DVR systems like our Alnet PCI and PCIe DVR cards turn a Windows based PC into a powerful remote viewable DVR system. These systems provide enhanced quality and framerate over most standalone DVRs and also provide enhanced remote viewing functions that allow you to view cameras from many smartphones by installing a full client application. DVR Cards like our Alnet cards come with apps for iPhone, iPad, iPod, BlackBerry phones, Windows Mobile phones and also Google Android smartphones. These client applications not only allow streaming video up to 30 frames per second depending on internet connection speeds, but also provide the ability to playback video over the internet right from an Android phone, control of PTZ cameras and even control of inputs and outputs.

When choosing a home or business security camera system, determine the level of remote access that is desired from your mobile devices, and it is wise to find a system that continues to innovate and develop solutions that will work even for new technology phones and smartphones that will be developed in the future. That way, you will not have to wait to upgrade your phone until your camera system supports the new phones. Each security camera system will offer various remote viewing capabilities and support from each type of smartphone.

Our H.264 Standalone DVRs provide basic remote viewing from iPhone, iPad, Google Android phones, BlackBerry phones and other smartphones through a basic web page or our Alnet PCI or PCIe DVR Cards offer advanced remote viewing from a PC, Laptop, Google Android phones, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile PDA phones.
