Freeverse Releases Periscope - Modern Webcam Software for Mac OS X
New York -- April 23, 2007 -- Freeverse today announced the immediate availability of Periscope, a new webcam application for Mac OS X. Designed for simplicity, Periscope allows the user to easily configure the Mac's built-in iSight to document a day, protect a home, or keep an eye on the kids. It knits together Apple's amazing hardware, software and services such as DotMac, Applescript, the iSight, Mail, iPhoto, and even the Apple Remote, to create a whole new tool for security, a whole new vector for fun.
Within minutes, a user can configure Periscope to monitor a room and email a picture when it detects motion or sound. Or they can configure Periscope to take a photo every half-hour and upload it to a DotMac web page, Flickr account or FTP site. Create a time-lapse movie of the view from a window, or catch that squirrel that's been raiding the bird-feeder!
The uses are legion, the tool is the same... Periscope.
Periscope is a Universal application and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. Priced at only $29.95, Periscope is an affordable and welcome enhancement to the power of Apple's iSight. More information and a free trial version are available at:
