Being able to connect with what is most important to you, wherever you are, is a necessity for many people nowadays.

Uniquely available for both inside and outside installations, HomeMonitor™ comes with free secure online storage with every account, so every movement captured over the previous 48 hours is saved directly to your own personal online account. Ready to go directly from the box, no computers needed, no hard drives required, no tapes to change, everything that has happened will be stored for free, & accessible from anywhere.

HomeMonitor™ uses the latest and greatest technology to ensure the highest quality video, maximum connectivity and Wi-Fi range. Every camera connects through a home Wi-Fi network and uses bandwidth-friendly H.264 compression, plus the latest Wireless N network, assuring users that they are using the best possible technology available.
