Dropcam Camera Phone App Captures Burglary Live on iPhone (VIDEO)

Vacationing couple watched a live video of a burglar inside their Idaho, Washington home through a surveillance camera from Dropcam installed in their garage. The Dropcam camera was connected to the iPhone app.

“I saw an alert on my phone. I thought it was my neighbor because my neighbor was babysitting my dogs,” Melissa, who did not want her last name used, told ABC affiliate KOMO. “It’s 5:30 in the morning. So I pull up the app and I see this guy out here and it’s definitely not my neighbor.”

The camera was linked through a WiFi connection to a mobile application that sent her an alert any time motion was detected. It allowed the couple to watch as the intruder browsed through expensive bicycles and gathered valuables.

Melissa called her neighbor and the neighbor alerted 911. Though no arrests were made, all stolen items were recovered after the intruder made a clumsy escape.
