I would love this. We always have someone stay at our house when we travel (to dog sit), but you just never know….
Robin, having someone stay at your house while gone is a great idea. It would help you know that everything is safe and secure. I’m going on vacation soon, maybe I will give my friend a house key. It would be nice to know my home, and belongings are in good hands.
I love how sleek this looks! The wire free design is great too.
This is a snazzy looking security system! Definitely more appealing than your standard security setups!
Wow this looks great and like a much better option than a lot I’ve seen. I need to check this out!
Wow what a great product! If this was our forever home, I’d be in the market for this. Thanks for sharing!
That looks like one amazing camera. I love that it’s water proof and easy to install.
This system looks wonderful! Aside from added security, we are the corner house of our cul-de-sac and have occasional problems with dogs pooping on our property via people passing by. I would love to be able to identify the offenders.
It’s always good to learn of an affordable, yet quality, home security system. I hadn’t thought about cloud storage in regard to security systems, but am impressed and curious how Hollywood will handle the problem now that the bad guys can no longer erase the tapes.
We have a home security system, but it just protects the doors & windows. This s a fabulous upgrade! Plus, it just looks cool!
Wow. That is neat. Lots of great features.
HD Pictures really do make a difference for clarity. This sounds like a great little device to have, and it’d be a thoughtful gift item too!
Wow, what a sleek looking camera! I love that it can get wet
Oh this looks great. We have one camera at home but I would like to get more. This looks like a nice setup.
This looks like a very innovative and simple to use security system. Security systems have come a long way!
I would love a home security system. This sounds like one I should check out.
We got one and cant wait to try it out. great to keep an eye on the house when away or on the kids playing.
These look really cool and so modern. We just got security cameras. It’s really cool to be able to check on things wherever you are.
We really love the piece of mind our home security gives us! This is a great option!
I like these. They look like they would be easy to conceal.
The fact that these are wireless makes them so much more appealing. There’s no greater peace of mind than to be able to check on your home at anytime no matter where you are. Thanks so much for sharing.
