Cameraphone remotely activates cameraphone in DIY venture

by Darren Murph, posted Dec 5th 2007 at 2:52AM

We've seen some fairly intuitive home security creations in our day, but this little wonder ranks pretty high up there. Utilizing a couple of cameraphones, a microcontroller, solenoid relays, a photoresistor, wires galore, a soldering iron and a robust picture messaging plan, this cameraphone activated cameraphone can be used to snap pictures of a pre-defined location whenever you get curious. We could even see building an entire fleet if you're really paranoid, but by the time you add all those additional lines, you may be better off just pulling the trigger on a bonafide CCTV system. Nevertheless, feel free to follow the read link and hack until your heart's content, and check out a video of this setup in action after the jump.

This seems a bit complicated when they could've just written a J2ME app to do it.... (I know Sony Ericssons at least support the camera extension to the Multimedia profile - just look at the included FaceWarp app)
