The 2011 EyeSpyFX Christmas Cam

The Christmas Cam is also featured on our World Cams application.
So it should get plenty of visitors this year.

Merry Christmas from everyone in the EyeSpyFX Office.

EyeSpyFX are delighted to announce in partnership with LHS (http://lhs.com.do) the launch of a new Iphone app called ServiCam. ServiCam is the brand name for the new LHS VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a Service) business based in The Dominican Republic. Video Surveillance as a Service is increasingly gaining market share and global spread as more and more companies begin to take advantage of the cloud to manage their security cameras. ServiCam is available for iPad and iPhone. A Blackberry version will be launched in a few days time.

Working with iOS, Android and Blackberry its sometimes easy to forget the massive reach of Series 40 Nokia. In EyeSpyFX we started of building our apps for Series 40 and 60 in 2004. For us in EyeSpyFX I guess it reached its height in 2006/7. The problem was always distribution and multi model compatibility. Nokia had no app store and 100s of different phones. Now there is Ovi and rather fewer models of phone. In fact in recent years Nokia have made some really beautiful series 40 phones, overlooked in all the hype about “smart” phones. The Touch and Type X3 is one example. I wonder how Nokia will manage the future of its feature phone division once they start to roll out Windows Mobile phones. This video is part of the campaign to grab developer interest in Series 40 and the Create4Millions competition.

Anthony Hutton, Managing Director of EyeSpyFX will attend ASIS11 in Orlando, Florida 17-19 Sept. ASIS (American Society of Industrial Security) is the annual conference and exhibition for the American Security Industry. A major part of the security industry is camera surveillance. EyeSpyFX have been working with major industry players to create multiplatform mobile solutions for IP camera surveillance and recording. Mr Hutton will showcase EyeSpyFX mobile solutions with key partners in a series of meetings and conference events.

EyeSpyFX are pleased to announce the launch of our app “D-Link Cams” for Blackberry. D-Link Cams is already available for iPhone and Android and the Blackberry app completes the set. (Perhaps we will build a windows mobile version when the Windows Nokia phones hit the streets).

D-Link Cams enables you to view and control D Link network cameras using your Blackberry mobile phone.

It works using a 3G connection and/or a wifi connection. The app is compatible with a wide range of D-Link network cameras. The app is an essential mobile tool for security guards and property owners who need to protect their property and businesses.

The D Link Cams Blackberry app builds on the already successful collaboration between EyeSpyFX and D-Link.

D Links Cams for Blackberry is available on Blackberry App world

We applied for a free test Playbook from Blackberry and it arrived today (28/04/11).
First impressions: Its very nice indeed. Very nice swipe motions, very nice industrial design, crisp graphics. If BB made phones like this they would back at the top of the smartphone game very quickly.

Second impression, the touch interface is very senstive and takes a bit of practice. No more time will make a video maybe tommorow

We have had a major increase in the number of My Webcam users. This resulted in us upgrading the servers, that in turn has caused some disruption to service and perfomance issues. We are still working to resolve those issues. Sorry for the inconvience caused – when we get it all upgraded the service will be faster and stronger. Thank you for your continued support and patience.

The My Webcam service is now back up and running.
(It may take another few hours for some countries)

As we mentioned in our last post, an increase of users & cameras meant that we needed to move My Webcam on to a new, bigger & faster server to ensure the best service for our users.

We are still in the process of optimizing the service for the increase in users.
So the loading of the Live List and initial load of some cameras is still slow.
Camera speeds should be unaffected once they have loaded.

We’d like to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused all of you,
and hope to have the service running at full speed soon.

Thank you for your understanding,
~The EyeSpyFX Team

EyeSpyFX flagship app My WebCam experienced a 200% surge in popularity last week and err, well frankly our servers felt the strain…..so we upgraded the whole system. We now have a fancy new cloud based system which can deal with spikes better. The downside is that we had to make a sudden move from our old dedicated servers to the new cloud system and our customers experienced a day of interrupted service. We are sorry and we hope that you understand that it was really what could be called an example of growing pains! Apologies again for the interuption and I hope you enjoy the new cloud service.
