BeenThere is a system with a small lamp, web-cam, monitor, a small table light and a remote switch. This system allows one to visit the residence of her/his partner when concerned about her/him. By pulling the chain switch the image of the remote place in shown on the monitor and the small lamp in the remote place lights up. After a short while the monitor image fades out, but the light is left there as a greeting message. The receiver can touch the lamp to turn it off.
