August 19, 2005
Communication equipment player Ericsson together with Taiwan's AIPTEK, EVE Relite Technology, and Sunplus Technology released the first IP (Internet Protocol) cam in 16 August 2005. With a resolution of one megapixel, the camera can be set up to allow remote viewing on up to 10 mobile phones over a 3G network. No additional software is said to be required on the terminal end.
AIPTEK is responsible for producing the IP cam; Sunplus for driver IC R&D; EVE Relite for helping operators design application software. The device will be targeted at both operators and retail channels; Ericsson states the camera will sell at a price under NT$10,000 (US$314). It will first be marketed in Taiwan before release to the global market.
