One of the key obstacles to the wide-spread adoption of IP-based surveillance camera systems is the often complex and difficult-to-manage network routing issue. Over the years, home and small/medium business users have been demanding an easy-to-use solution that requires no router configuration. The Smartconnect technology is Compro's answer to consumers who want an IP security camera that simply works out of box. The technology adopts an intelligent networking engine powered by Seedonk to eliminate the complicated router configurations for good and provides consumers with simple plug-and-play camera setup. Whenever the user buys a Compro IP camera with Smartconnect, they can simply connect the cables, install the software, and immediately the security camera kicks in and starts providing anytime, anywhere surveillance.

Compro Smartconnect technology is built on a versatile Seedonk platform which comprises Seedonk IM client, Seedonk mobile client, and Seedonk web client. The Seedonk IM client works like an instant messenger and lets users use one master ID/password to log on to and manage multiple security cameras, saving them the hassle of remembering every camera's IP address. The Seedonk web client works on all popular web browsers on the market. The Seedonk iPhone and Android app bring consumers a unique mobile monitoring experience at no additional cost. Furthermore, as the technology uses a cloud server to facilitate the connection and viewing of IP security cameras, many cloud-based surveillance applications are in the realms of possibility. The technology's proprietary communication protocol and data encryption support also makes it highly secure and reliable.

Compro IP security cameras with Smartconnect offer a sea of viable real-world applications. They can secure properties and communities, record and broadcast life’s important moments, bridge the communication between people, and help companies attract more business.

For instance, Smartconnect can be transformed into a powerful car theft prevention tool and the technology can also no doubt be used to promote business for companies. The ease of use of the Smartconnect cameras lets users and owners effortlessly set up security cameras and remotely monitor their properties 24/7. For example, a restaurant might use Smartconnect to let frequent diners check whether their favourite table is still available, or a parking lot owner could offer customers the ability to check space availibility in advance and further let them monitor their car on a smartphone whilst they are shopping,...etc. Still, the technology has much untapped potential and countless new applications are waiting to be discovered.

Since the technology utilises a cloud server, there are numerous cloud-based, value-added surveillance applications in the future. Amongst them, the cloud-based Seedonk DVR is currently in the making. The cloud-based DVR will offer motion-triggered recording, storage and retrieval of video recordings, multi-channel playback, etc, (with a service charge). The DVR will bring great flexibility and scalability for home and SMB users.
