TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LOREX Technology
Inc. today announced the latest innovation in their line of plug
& play home video monitors, the LOREX® LIVE CONNECT. The first
in its series, the LIVE CONNECT (LW2031) is an easy-to-use portable
home monitor that features remote viewing over the Internet using
Skype. Users can log onto Skype and access the camera from anywhere
in world. This breakthrough product is the first of its kind to
carry the Plugged Into Skype™ designation. The LIVE CONNECT
is a unique monitoring solution for home and away use, and is
positioned to have instant appeal to the massive worldwide user
base of Skype – if you can use Skype, you can use LIVE CONNECT.
With LIVE CONNECT, there's no need to leave your local computer
on or have Skype running in order to access your camera from
another location. When the LOREX LIVE CONNECT Gateway is plugged
into your home router it automatically connects to the Skype
server. The Gateway and connected cameras now become a Skype
"contact." Users simply login to Skype and place a free call to the
camera, similar to how they would connect to another Skype user.
Connect via Skype from PC, Mac, iPhone™, iPad™, or iPad 2™.
When at home, the LIVE CONNECT system also includes a convenient
handheld monitor. Video and audio transmission between the
camera and handheld monitor is private, secure, and will not
conflict with other household wireless devices. At those
magic moments, LIVE CONNECT enables families to take snapshots and
record video using the handheld monitor, which can then be copied
to a computer and shared on popular social networking sites.
"The LIVE CONNECT is a groundbreaking leap in simplified home
monitoring," said Reuben Klein,
chief executive officer of LOREX Technology Inc. "It lets users see
and connect with their home environment easily through the power of
Skype. Simply connected, simply aware, parents can check on their
children while at work and grandparents out-of-town can see their
grandchildren at any time. LIVE CONNECT offers real monitoring
features and can bring families and friends closer together."
The LOREX LIVE CONNECT Wireless Video Monitor is a recipient of
the Design & Engineering Innovations Award at the 2011 Consumer
Electronics Show. It includes a portable wireless color camera with
automatic night vision, an expandable 4 channel gateway, and a
compact 2.4" LCD handheld monitor. The system will be available on
Amazon.com and other major online retailers. For more information,
