Now available: AirBeam for Galileo

Heiko — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 19:06:31 +0000

Today we are really excited to announce a new release of AirBeam that adds full support for Motrr Galileo, the robotic motion platform for iPhone and iPad. With AirBeam and Galileo you can now remotely pan/tilt your iPhone or iPod camera !

To make use of this amazing new feature you need AirBeam for iOS 1.8 and the Galileo platform available from Motrr.com. Galileo currently supports the iPhone 3GS, 4, 4s or iPods up to 4th generation. Support for devices with Apple’s new lightning connector is currently in preparation by Motrr.

You can remotely positioning your docked iPhone or iPod can with AirBeam on another iDevice, with a browser or with AirBeam for Mac (version 1.5 or 1.3 for AirBeam Pro). It is as easy as swiping with your finger across the screen of your monitor view. Velocity of your swipe controls the rotation speed and with a tap you can center the camera on a point of interest.

AirBeam for Galileo

Heiko — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:35:29 +0000

Last week we got our first Galileo developer preview devices from Motrr. Just three words: They are amazing. Watch yourself ! Thanks to the excellent SDK the integration with AirBeam was a piece of cake. We will be ready as soon Galileo hits the market.

AirBeam 1.6 adds email alerts

Heiko — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 12:39:11 +0000

Today we are proud to announce the next major release of AirBeam for iOS. AirBeam 1.6 now supports what many of you have been asking for: Email alerts, triggered by motion and audio detection.

If activated, AirBeam now automatically takes photo snapshots in case of detected events, attaches them to an email and sends it to a configurable email address. It is even possible to automatically record short video clips and attach them to the mails. A rate limiter allows you to limit the number of emails being sent if there is too much action going on in front of the camera.

And of course AirBeam 1.6 has been optimized for the latest hardware and software Apple brought to us. AirBeam now takes full advantage of the additional performance the iPhone 5 provides. We were able to almost double the video encoding speed and frame rates compared to an iPhone 4s, especially at HD resolution. AirBeam now also takes full advantage of the additional screen real estate of an iPhone 5.

Unfortunately we had to drop support for the old iPhone 3G (3GS still works) with this release, as it is technically not possible to support both the new iPhone5 and the old 3G in one app. So if you are using still an iPhone 3G with AirBeam, we recommend to not delete the previous app version on these devices when you upgrade.

Requirements

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
Video capturing requires built-in camera (iPhone 3GS/4/5, iPod 4G/5G, iPad, iPad2)
Audio capturing requires built-in microphone (iPhone 3GS/4/5, iPod 4G/5G, iPad, iPad2)
Operating System iOS 4.3 or higher.
Universal Application

Pricing and availability

AirBeam 1.6 for iOS is $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the iTunes App Store in the Photo & Video category.
