“The Linux-based operating system combined with the standard
‘flash memory file system’ inside, enables advanced users to create

to a computer over the network using FTP or mailed via SMTP.“Used together with motion detection or infrared you could
program a camera to start recording and send images to your
cellphone when something happens. Great if you want to see if it’s
a animal or a burglar wandering around your house.”
