Hi Peter,
The eyes.butterfly network is free from the butterfly wifi network. Ue the following credentials to log in, username traffic, password traffic. From any other network there's a charge associated for the use. Our sales team will get in touch with you offlist for the pricing. Regarding the second part of your query, note that the main infrastructure is web based and hence access from any web application is possible. Unfortunately feed from the cameras to other applications is restricted at the moment. Kindly get in touch with me offlist for more info..
