The iPad is a very comfortable tool for the use on the road or at home. Owners take it all the time with them and hence it's just perfect to use it as surveillance monitor device. Where ever you are you can simply use your iPad to take care of your home. You get notices if something happens at home by email and you simply look on the iPad what it was. You receive an email alarm with a recording or you receive an text email an look through the Internet if maybe a burglar entered your house.
At home you use the iPad on your couch. The doorbell rings and you look on your iPad who's in front!
