Product Information

You can sit down at the end of the day and, rather than poring through hours of footage you missed when you were out of the house, you can pull up one of these highlight reels to get a frame-by-frame overview of the day.

Although it requires a hub to connect to your network, it comes in the box and has a USB port for local video storage. The Home button takes you back to the home screen and the Play button takes you to a screen with a list of triggered events and video thumbnails for each.It also supports third-party integrations via IFTTT applets and features a Travel Mode that allows you to take the camera on the road without the need for an internet connection. You can also play around with the motion sensitivity and retrigger time, as well as setting the length for which clips can be recorded (with 30 seconds being the maximum).
