Avaak Vue Gen 2 wire-free video monitoring hands-on

Peeping Toms and would-be spies, rejoice! The Vue wire-free video cameras have reached the second one generation and now add motion detection and a more rugged outdoor version to the combination. Pricing is a mixed bag: kits start at $199 and include a motion detection camera, the bottom station, and the mounting base. Extra cams may be had for $159 for someone outdoor camera with motion detection, indoor camera with motion detection is $129, and an uneventful indoor camera is $99. The bright bit this is it really is regularly a 0 setup affair: attach the cameras to the included magnetic mounts (with adhesive, no less), stir up the bottom station, and rancid you go. As with many devices launched recently, mobile apps are key, and the Vue’s apps are a tight bunch. We had a peek at both the BlackBerry and iPhone flavors — Android can also be supported — and either will allow video from the remote cameras to be recorded, some small amount of zoom and pan, grab screen shots, and feature a peek in any respect your cameras immediately. The specified online service to regulate all of it is free for the primary year and $19.95 per year after; you could keep deciding on the free version after the 1st year, but lose the mobile app support, pan / zoom, and all recording features. What’s the joys in that? More pics within the gallery below!
