Surveillance Camera

The Surveillance Camera showcase example demonstrates how to use Nokia's Notifications API. The Notifications API lets you push real-time notifications to your client applications. This example consists of two mobile apps: the Windows Phone Silverlight application uses the Service API to send push notifications to a Qt Quick app in a Symbian device. In this example the Silverlight application is the actual surveillance camera that searches for movements in the camera viewfinder. The Qt application receives alert notifications from the Silverlight application when there is movement. Both applications authenticate into the Notifications Service for sending and receiving alert notifications.

This example application is hosted in Nokia Developer Projects.
