D-Link’s Omna 180 Cam HD gets Android Support
When I reviewed D-Link's Omna 180 Cam HD I was disappointed in the otherwise superb camera's Apple exclusivity. Well, that's all changed with the release of the new D-Link Omna App, which adds some new features to the camera, including android Support.
The updated, free, Omna app adds Android support and is available now on Google Play. The Omna app enhancements include event notifications, remote live streaming, and a new pinch-to-zoom capability that allows users to zoom in on areas of the camera's live view to see more detail. Additionally, the Omna app now allows users to conveniently enable or disable night vision and the LED indicator light.
D-Link ANZ MD Graeme Reardon said, "The Omna app's new features and enhancements now allow Android users the same full functionality as iOS users which in turn makes Omna an even more attractive product to anyone using a smartphone or tablet.
The D-Link Omna 180 Cam HD now overs peace of mind for both Android and Apple users while away from home - including two-way audio and a wide-angle lens for wall-to-wall coverage in crisp 1080p Full HD. Users can also view locally saved videos clips via the microSD card slot for affordable surveillance with no monthly fees.
The first camera to work with Apple's smart home platform, HomeKit, the Omna 180 Cam HD launched earlier this year. Underscoring its commitment to a connected home experience, D-Link has leveraged customer feedback to build on the Omna user experience. With both Android and iOS support, the Omna app provides accessible remote viewing for all users wanting to monitor their homes.
D-Link Omna 180 HD Camera Key Features:
• 180-Degree Field of View – D-Link's unique 180-degree solutions and de-warping technology allow users to see just about everywhere and everything.
