Texas Man Watches His Home Getting Robbed Via iPhone

Using an iCam App for the iPhone, Vince Hunter Watched His Home Getting Robbed

Imagine watching a home burglary in real time. Now imagine that it’s your home.

That’s what happened to Vince Hunter of Dallas last week as he and his wife were visiting family 1,500 miles away in Connecticut.

On Friday, while Hunter was out pumping gas, a $4.99 iPhone app called iCam sent Hunter a text message that the motion detectors in his house had been activated. Using his phone, he was able to watch live video captured by webcams he’d installed around his home.

“I check the footage, and see in real time guys in this area, and they’re kind of hunched over. They’d just broken the glass. I said holy cow, I gotta call 911,” he said.

Alerted by the same message, Hunter said his wife called, and he asked her to notify the security company.
