SingTel offers cellphone controlled spycam

Yeah, yeah, the caption reads “watch over your loved ones wirelessly…” but we know by “watch over” they mean spy. With SingTel’s dubious intentions aside, the Mobile LIVEcam looks to be a reasonably inexpensive and capable — albeit optically challenged — 0.3 megapixel remote camera. For only $240 upfront and about $6 month in service costs you get a 3G SIM card and the camera which can pan, tilt, zoom, and even record video onto a microSD card. If your preferred recording location is a bit dark, the camera features an infrared recording mode to help ~~get the dirtiest of dirt~~ ensure your family’s safety. The LIVEcam is controlled via SMS commands or through a web interface — also accessible by up to 20 others via password control — on your mobile phone, and with a touted 300 hours standby time, should give you enough time to capture the perfect shots. Yep, anti-privacy never looked so fun.
