Freeverse debuts Periscope webcam software

Freeverse today announced Periscope 1.0, a new low-cost webcam application for Mac OS X. Designed for simplicity, the new software allows users to easily configure the Mac's built-in iSight to document a day, protect a home, or keep an eye on the kids. It brings together Apple's hardware, software and services such as .Mac, AppleScript, the iSight, Mail, iPhoto, and even the Apple Remote, to create a new tool for security or just for fun. Users can configure Periscope to monitor a room and email a picture when it detects motion or sound. Or they can configure Periscope to take a photo every half-hour and upload it to a .Mac webpage, Flickr account or FTP site -- easily allowing users to create a time-lapse movie. Periscope is a Universal application and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later. It is priced at $30.
