14 DAY TRIAL // Since just about every serious player in the IT and consumer electronics industries is bringing some hot new product to this year's International CES, Leadtek seems to be keen on doing the same, as they've revealed plans to showcase their new AMOR8210 multimedia videophone at the Las Vegas tradeshow. The AMOR8210 has different features for the home or office, which includes communication, information, entertainment, health care, security surveillance, media player, 3-way video conference, photo sharing during the call, call and location base service (LBS) integration.
As HotHardware reports, the device from Leadtek comes equipped with a seven-inch, high-resolution touch screen, while the housing has a built-in battery and wireless communication function that can be separated from the cradle for tablet-like manipulation.
Additionally, its DECT handset allows users to make in-room phone calls without a cord, while connecting networking wires and traditional phone lines to RJ45 and RJ11 ports behind the cradle allows VoIP and PSTN phone calls to be made in an easy-to-use manner.
Leadtek works with ChungHwa Telecom in Taiwan to provide multimedia services (no idea who the company will partner with in the US, though), such as video and audio telephony, weather forecast, public transportation timetable, patient registration, medical care, SMS, taxi booking, video recorder, Internet radio, multi-media and music playback.
Other telecoms also integrate AMOR8210 and NSC3622-SIP based PTZ IP Camera into IMS systems to benefit video telephony, remote telecare, video surveillance and 3G interoperability for SMEs and home markets.
For example, AMOR8210 features a reed switch to offer a video surveillance application for security enhancement, as it receives a signal from the reed switch and starts to record video when the reed switch is triggered by a burglary.
It also simultaneously streams video to a backend storage server as well as sends an SMS message to the head of the household's mobile.
Users can use the 3G mobile to call the server to review the recorded video or make a video call to AMOR8210 for real time monitoring.
As mentioned right from the start, all of these applications will be demonstrated at CES 2011, and hopefully, details regarding US pricing and availability will emerge after the show.
