Your own home system is not only extremely complex, but also extremely expensive.
Thankfully, with the explosion of the mobile market and, above all, mobile applications, it is now possible to do this relatively easily and most importantly, at a low cost. Better yet, there are plenty of monitoring apps in the App Store that let you do this, but only some of them are free.
So, if you’re looking for a tool to help you track your pets or catch thieves in action at no cost, the AtHome app for iPhone (free version) and other iOS devices may be just for you. So let’s go through the process of setting it up on both your iPhone and Mac so you can have your own free home security system.
On your Mac
First of all, visit this website to download AtHome Video Streamer, an essential client for your Mac (Windows version also available) that will stream video from this app to your iOS device. When you do, install and open it.
The first thing you’ll be prompted to do is create a username and password for your Mac’s camera that will be associated with its profile from then on.
After creating your profile, you will have full access to the main AtHome window. this is a good time to point it to where you want to track. There are several settings that you can adjust on this window, including the image resolution, recording quality, their destination folder, etc.
However, the most important part of this window is in its lower left side below Streaming Settings. There you will find yours Connection ID (or CID for short) that you will need later.
On your iPhone or other iOS device
On your iPhone or other iOS device, download the AtHome mobile app. Open it up, and after a few introductory screens, you’ll be offered an extra camera to monitor. For this you will have to also add the login you created above And your CID. When you do, press Finished.
You will then have access on your iPhone to your Mac’s camera. However, before viewing the stream, you can name the camera as well as edit some of its settings.
Additionally, the iPhone app also lets you set a timer for your recordings, and better yet, a motion detection mode where you can adjust the sensitivity. Both can be accessed from Live video screen.
The Live video screen is where you can watch streaming video from your Mac as well as record it manually. The recordings are stored on your Mac.
Your go. If you are looking for a simple monitoring solution with which you can control your network at no cost, this is it. And even if you want some extras like multiple CIDs to use on multiple devices and no limit on app timers, the price of At home ($7.99) is still reasonable.
