Title: cell phone video and alerts.
Post by: xcam super seller on December 19, 2008, 12:59:34 AM
  It would be nice if a customer could receive cell phone alerts if an intruder triggers motion sensors, also to have access to video via cell phone.  ; )

I don't use those features myself. The additional fee's for text messages and and Web Access... for the phones... are the reason. But I already use AHP and the CM15A.

ActiveHome Pro can send emails to a cell phone to alert you of a sensor status change; I use this myself.
As far as video, I do beleive it can also email still photos from cameras; not sure about live video.

As Puck and Dave_x10_L stated you can already do this to some degree with AHP!
If you wish more you could look at some thirdparty software!
AlertDialer (http://www.angelfire.com/in2/ontkoi/X10AHP/Alertdialer.html) will inform you via voice what was tripped and allow you to turn ON/OFF a device in responce via a button press (voice modem needed)
The Plus version ($10) gives you unlimited Voice responces (you configure)
X10dispatcher (http://x10dispatcher.com/) will allow you to see pic and control devices via MSN so if you have internet access on the phone you could use it.
 It also has a built in server so you can connect directly! ;)
There are others as well ;)
