        ComCam Inc. has released software that converts handhelds running Microsoft's Pocket PC operating system into remote terminals for the company's video surveillance cameras. Pocket C3 is a "light weight" version of ComCam's standard "camera control center" (C3) software, which is described as bringing "commercial control room video...


        capability" to laptop computers. The new Pocket PC version of C3 is said to be suitable for mobile homeland security uses and IP security applications, yet cost-effective enough for home use.

        Pocket C3 currently supports ARM-based devices running either PocketPC 2002 or PocketPC 2003. A demo version is available for download here.

        ComCam CEO Don Gilbreath says, "Pocket C3's performance is astonishing. With the current generation of PDAs we get great frame rates and an unprecedented degree of control of our cameras deployed around the world. Pocket C3 also controls popular third party cameras through our microserver hardware. Infrared cameras, thermal cameras, pan tilt zoom cameras, controls, and sensors all gain the advantage of IP connectivity through this highly portable computing platform. The ComCam systems are ideal for police, homeland security, emergency crews, commercial, and home use. Pocket C3 is seamlessly integrated with the rest of ComCam's network command and control solutions suite."

        ComCam is a manufacturer of Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, video micro servers, and related software.
