Monday October 27, 2008 3:59 am PDT by Arnold Kim
Lextechlabs iRa application has officially taken the title of most expensive iPhone application at $899.99. iRa provides the user with viewing and control of IP based surveillance equipment. Features include:

- Easily view many video feeds simultaneously
- Full screen video view
- PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) control for camera motion
- Familiar finger drag and pinch controls
- Group cameras for quick access
- Automatic discovery of properly configured network cameras

An early video (from July) demos the product:


While end users can download it, the company recommends you contact a reseller/integrator to make sure you have the proper equipment to run the app.

I could definitely imagine a market for this app (even at the price) if the right people know about it... On the flip side, if you're not one of those right people, there are probably other right people who would code an app just like it for less :p

And just think, you could buy something similar (poor man's version) on the App Store for 8 bucks.

Obviously as dumb and deaf like their demo video. No sound at all.

That's coming in the Pro version.

With a name like iRa, they're pushing it, aren't they?

As a security guard who spends a large chunk of his life watching cameras like that, I must say that program is very impressive.

Just get access control working on it (door alarms, etc.) and I'll see if my boss will spring for it so I never have to come to work again. :P


Lenel On Guard is possibly the worst computer program ever written and I'm stuck with it 12 hours at a time. haha

Haha, I work with Lenel as well and couldn't agree with you more.

It looks like a really cool app and all but I feel like its maybe a hundred or so too expensive.
But maybe to people who would use this kind of app it's a small price to pay who knows.

I don't know where the name comes from, but the first thing that came into my mind was The Eye of Ra, the all-seeing eye.
