My grandma needed security for her building, and they have rejected a couple of companies because of the cost to monitor the cameras.  I was thinking if we had some motion-sensitive cameras that would just shoot a picture of the motion that they sensed to various grand kids’ smartphones.  I also needed it to be a low-cost thing..

The problem is that it would be down in their parking garage, so, they would I guess have to run off of AC power,which, we couldn’t run the AC power to them.  I don’t think there’s anything that runs off of battery that would last–like say a week or more. “So the product below does not have to monitored.  In fact, it works on its own once it is easily mounted.

“Yes! There is a solution to this problem, and I’ve got the exact solution for you. It will run six months on battery…and it will do exactly what you want, It’s called ‘Vue Zone’, sold by NETGEAR, vuezone.com.  It’s really good for situations where you can’t run wires, it’s wireless, completely–no power or internet. It does use WiFi, so you’ll need WiFi access.”

“Okay.”  “Obviously, it’s got to get on the network somehow. But, this thing, I’ll tell you why it lasts so long. It’s not always on! It’s only on when there’s motion. But that’s what you want, so it lasts about six months without a new battery, because it just turns on– and they have app to ping you when the sensitivity is triggered.  You can go on the web or on the app and see it, and then it turns on. Or if there’s motion, then it will notify you.

Netgear Vuezone Alerts your Smartphone and transmits whenever there is motion.  It uses a battery that lasts 6 months with no wires or hookup!  Traditional webcams like Dropcam always record constantly and need constant power to a server.
