With its intuitive interface, HomeRemote Pro allows users to then control and monitor their home remotely from any web browser or cellular phone. “The ability for someone to control and monitor their home with live video on their cellular phone is a very powerful and useful feature. Imagine being able to check whether you’ve left your iron or lights on and being able to turn it off from directly from your cell phone, anywhere, anytime.
