Philips To Launch M100 Internet Security Camera

For someone who doesn’t have a college aged mistress or nanny to monitor, I seem to have an unnatural preoccupation with Internet-connected security cameras. Which may be why I zeroed in on the upcoming Philips M100 when trawling the FCC database today. The M100 looks more Vue or DropCam than Logitech Alert or Archerfish in terms of price point and functionality. The small, non-distinct and inoffensive M100 camera wirelessly broadcasts up to 720p video along with audio to the iPhone and Android Philips Insight Cam apps – which also aren’t yet available. Presumably, the M100 will join one’s home WiFi network by utilizing its USB connection in some way and pairing the camera to mobile viewer looks to be quite clever and efficient, as pictured below. Unfortunately, there’s no telling when or where this will be released and at what price point.
