AirBeam 1.6 adds email alerts

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.
