QNAP, Inc. today upgraded its VMobile app for iOS to version 3.0 to enhance operational efficiency and user experience with the addition of a low-bandwidth mode and improved user interface.

With the greater use of mobile devices, being able to manage surveillance systems while on-the-go has become increasingly popular. However, the convenience of using these apps is usually compromised with a bad live-view experience caused by limited network speeds. "To solve this, VMobile 3.0 comes with a low-bandwidth mode to provide smooth video streaming while keeping the same real-time video monitoring,” said Mike Shaw, product manager of QNAP Security. VMobile 3.0 should be used with a VioStor NVR with QVR 5.0.2 or a Turbo NAS with Surveillance Station 5.0.2.
