The Snap Camera delivers up to five mega pixel resolution photographs (with included software) and VGA-quality video recording with digital zoom and a software package that enables features such as editing and remote monitoring.

"From taking snapshots and video to conducting remote monitoring, the FlipStart Snap Camera provides a range of new functionality for the FlipStart," said Robin Budd, general manager for FlipStart Labs. "The FlipStart Snap Camera is fun and practical, and shows just one of the many uses for the custom accessory port built into the FlipStart. We look forward to working with third party developers to develop additional uses for the custom accessory port."
