The eWeLink app conveniently presents live feeds from up to 3 security cameras all in one position, eliminating the need to locate them on the home page. Switching between live streams is seamless, making it easier than ever to keep an eye on various areas of your home. Whether you’re checking on your sleeping baby, ensuring your pets are comfortable, or verifying the security of your front door, this section offers a wide range of practical applications.
Practical Uses of Camera Live View:
● Home Security: Camera live view is useful for safeguarding your home. Set up cameras at entry points, such as the front door, back door, and garage, to monitor any suspicious activity or unexpected visitors.
● Baby Monitoring: For parents, camera live view is helpful. You can now keep a close eye on your baby in real-time, ensuring their safety even when you’re not in the same room.
● Elderly Monitoring: Caring for elderly family members becomes more manageable as you can remotely track their activities and promptly respond to emergencies like falls or fainting episodes.
● Pet Room Monitoring: Pet owners can rest easy knowing that their furry friends are safe and sound. Keep an eye on your pets while you’re at work or traveling easily.
● Kitchen Monitoring: Check your kitchen quickly with camera live view when you’re not around and ensure the stove is off or monitor cooking progress.
