exacqVision iPhone App update – Version 1.15
There are two versions of the exacqVision iPhone App on iTunes. The Lite version is free and fully functional. It connects to all of the exacqVision demo servers in Indiananapolis and California, which is a great way to demo the mobile capability of exacqVision. The full version, at $49.99, enables connecting to an unlimited number of cameras on an unlimited number of exacqVision servers.
For those with smaller camera count viewing requirements, an update to the Lite version of the iPhone app will be of interest. Version 1.15 of the lite app, now on iTunes, is a free download or update. In addition to free viewing of all cameras on the exacqVision demo servers, version 1.15 now enables users to add single cameras from their own exacqVision servers at a low, $4.99 per-camera price as an in-app purchase. For deployments where mobile users only need to monitor a small number of cameras, this is a useful and cost-effective option.
NVR Viewer Lite is available at no charge on the iTunes store here. More information on the exacqVision iPhone/iPad app on our mobile page.
