Belkin NetCam HD
My new favorite toy is the Belkin NetCam HD. I've had this NetCam for about 7 months now and could definitely use more in every room of the house! The NetCam works as a video camera that connects to your wifi, you can then view the camera and activity inside your house when you are away. I use this mainly for my dogs. I have two older dogs and one new puppy and it's nice to be able to "check in" on them when we are not home. This device is also ideal for babies. You can set up the camera just as you would a baby monitor - the camera allows you to view and listen to activity in the room. What I like about this instead of a baby monitor is, if you leave your husband home with the baby to run to the grocery store, you can still check on your baby to make sure all is safe and sound. In addition to using these at home, the Belkin NetCam comes in handy for business, as well. The doggie daycare I use for puppy has recently installed these, as well. We take our Cece, our new puppy to daycare twice a week so she can run around and play since our dogs here are older and want nothing of the sort. These are nice because I am able to download an app on my phone and check in on Cece during the day. It's fun to watch her having so much fun with the other dogs during the day. Also, it helps to know she's in good care while we are away. The set up and use of the Belkin NetCam HD is so simple to use and it only takes a second or two to pop on and "check in" making me feel secure and confident that all is well at home or at daycare. I don't know how I lived without this before!

Theresa, I love the idea of this technology! I am a nanny for a 2 month old, 1.5 year old and 3 year old. I will definitely tell their mom about this because with 3 floors in the house and kids sleeping in different places at different times, I really wish I had more than just camera and one monitor! I am curious how much it costs.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful technology! I've seen a home alarm provider's television commercial where the family can turn on lights, lock doors, etc. from their cell phone or tablet and also see what's going on at their home.
I will definitely look into this product. Thanks for sharing this information.

Theresa, this is really cool. I think I may have to do this at home for my BF to prove a few points here and there. You know the old I was busy but really playing video games or something : ). I think this is such a cool idea and I would want my dogs somewhere like this as well, safety and fun. The whole concept is so cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hi Theresa.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with us. Having a wireless webcam that doesn't depend upon being attached to a pc really opens up the possibilities for folks using them for so much more uses - and can replace expensive solutions for small home things. If it logged footage, it could even replace Nanny-cams! Since they wouldn't require any wiring, I could maybe use one for my front door (if they could handle Chicago temperatures, that is). My peep hole has a crazy restrictive range, and sometimes I can't see anyone out there. I won't open my door unless I know who it is, and I've pissed off some friends because I couldn't see them. (Although, you'd think they'd know me by now and use their cell to call and say "I'm headed over" or "I'm outside"! lol)
