Yes, the Epicam E16S and E17S come with a downloadable TimeTec Security App for iOS and Android mobile phones to enable you to monitor your space remotely.

6.  How does the TimeTec Security App works with i-Neigbhour App in a smart community platform?

If your home has installed TimeTec Security and your neighbourhood is using i-Neighbour, these two applications are integrated. Therefore, whenever there is a motion alert at your home, the security guards will be informed automatically so they can take further action.

7.  If I can view my personal camera activities by using i-Neighbour app, does it mean that other people in the community can also view my camera activities?

Please note that TimeTec Security is designed for individual house use only. Hence, it can only be accessed by the account owner who is the house owner and permissible family members only. On the other hand, i-Neighbour is a different system designed for a neighbourhood and its users do not have any access to any of your personal cameras.

8.  If I don't use cloud storage or NVR storage, how long can I keep my history record by just using SDRAM of the camera?

It depends on the size of the SD card and the frequency of the motion detected snapshot or video. For a 32GB SD card, it can store up to 22888 snapshots if every minute has a snapshot and it can last for 15 days. If for video file, it could be 1-7 days.
