For a long time, I’ve wanted the ability for the iPhone to speak the name of the caller, based on matching the inbound number to the numbers in Contacts. I waited and waited for iPhone OS 2.x ad then 3.x to do this for me, and do it better, but got sick of waiting. So instead, I wrote an AppleScript app I call Contact Caller ID + Sound Ringtone Maker [44KB download; Mac OS X Hints mirror (v 1.1)]. I’ve used this script to generate over 100 in-use ringtones, and use it to customize a ringtone for a contact or two almost daily now.

This AppleScript will generate a spoken name file, optionally looking for first, last, and nicknames, for selected Address Book Contacts. For example, “Jennifer Frickin’ Connelly is calling….”. It will optionally add a traditional (or other) ringtone of your choice to either the beginning …

D-Link DHA-390 Internet Surveillance Camera Starter Kit

Comments Off

The DHA-390 is an easy-to-install, easy-to-use Internet camera surveillance solution that allows you to monitor any room in your house from anywhere over the Internet. The DHA-390 uses Powerline networking, which connects the Internet camera and your router using your house’s electrical wiring, eliminating the need to run networking cables across your home. Furthermore, the Internet camera uses a single cable to both receive power and connect to the Powerline adapter, allowing you to place the camera anywhere in your home. The D-Life™ zero-configuration setup gets you up and running in no time – just connect the DHA-390, then register the device on the D-Life website. The DHA-390 will then automatically configure itself, connect to the D-Life service and is ready to use.

SIMPLE SETUP AND INSTALLATION

Setting up the DHA-390 Internet Surveillance Camera Starter Kit is easy – after plugging in one Powerline adapter and connecting it to your router, plug in the other Powerline adapter and connect it to the Internet camera, then register the device at the D-Life website. The DHA-390’s auto-provisioning configures itself to run behind your Internet gateway router and connects to the D-Life service for controlling/viewing. Powerline networking lets you place the Internet camera near any power outlet, eliminating the need to run networking cables across your home. You can also easily expand your network by adding a DHA-310 Internet Surveillance Camera Expansion Kit.

ANYWHERE ACCESS TO YOUR CAMERA VIDEO FEED

Watch your video feed or view the status of your camera(s) anytime from anywhere over the Internet, whether you are at home or at the office – just sign in to the D-Life website. D-Life users can control/view up to 4 different cameras simultaneously. You can also share access to your camera feed with other D-Life users.

BUNDLED D-LIFE™ SERVICES
The DHA-390 Internet Surveillance Camera Starter Kit comes bundled with the D-Life™ surveillance service, which allows viewing, sharing, and takes snapshots when motion is detected by the Internet camera. Snapshots are saved to a secure D-Life server, which allows you to access your motion-triggered snapshots even if your home PC is damaged or stolen. In fact, the DHA-390 works when your home PC is turned off, meaning that D-Life surveillance continues to keep watch over your …
