Dallas -- A Dallas man said he was able to catch burglars on camera from 1,400 miles away with the help of a $4.99 iPhone application.

Vincent Hunter said he was in Connecticut Friday afternoon when the iPhone app, iCam, alerted him to movement on the Web cams set up inside his home, WFAA-TV, Dallas, reported Tuesday.

"I've got a few webcams set up," he said. "We could see it unfolding."

Hunter said the application allowed him to view a live feed of two men shattering his patio door with a brick. He said he called 911 and watched as Dallas police entered the home seeking the two men, who fled the house

Police said they are searching for the two men, who are believed to be behind a number of local burglaries.
