Rovio Review Rovio WiFi Robot

Rovio is the mobile Webcam that you can control over the Internet. With Rovio you can communicate via your computer, smart phone, game console or whatever you use to go online. No matter where you are you can be where Rovio is. Rovio lets you see here and communicate just as if you were right there, say good night to your family, check on your home, check on your pet, or you can find out if your mail has arrived. You can take part in a video conference in another city all the way from your hotel room in Europe. From wherever you are to where ever you want today you are now just one click away. Once you connect Rovio to your Wi-Fi network the Rovio on-line control interface lets you do it all.  Explore the room, have a conversation, just listen in. Thanks to Rovio’s high-quality streaming audio and video capability you get the best possible view. And with Rovio’s neck mounted camera the camera can move from low to mid way to 40° tilt.

How Rovio Operates

Rovio does require a high-speed Internet connection and it also requires a wireless network and a computer with a USB port for set-up purpose.  True track technology uses infrared light so the robot knows where it is in the room at all times .You can preprogram Rovio to go to a specific spot in your room. You can pre-program in an auto track mode which Rovio will follow and record the images as it moves. Through the interface you can take a photograph or you can have Rovio take photographs and automatically e-mail them
