Europe : 3 Italia has selected Dilithium’s VT-Phone video telephony software as a key component of Pupillo Pro, their professional 3G video surveillance solution.  The 3G video solution from Dilithium and leading software integrator Accenture, will be integrated into 3 Italia’s Pupillo Pro solution and bundled with a 3G data card and Pupillo UMTS Video Camera.

This is the first mass consumer video monitoring solution that leverages the real-time video capabilities of 3G mobile technology and video handsets. The Pupillo Video camera is the first UMTS camera in the world able to automatically answer a standard UMTS video call. Customers make a simple 3G video call from their laptop or mobile handset and can see exactly what is happening in their home, office or other location. The camera is power supply or battery powered, so it can be sited anywhere. The system authenticates the caller based on the caller ID of the phone and a unique personal identification number for service access. Pupillo has a visual field of 58° in diagonal, 46° in horizontal and 38° in vertical and, thanks to an infrared sensor, offers clear images also in the dark. Some settings, like the list of the numbers authorized to video call, can be also be modified by SMS.

“3 Italia is a leading mobile media company offering a convergence of communications, entertainment and information. We are excited to partner with them on this innovative 3G surveillance solution.” said Gerard Delaney, Vice President of Worldwide Sales & Support, Dilithium.
