I am glad I was asked to give a review of their site, as I am genuinely interested in their service. What follows is my real and impartial views relating to that service.

In todays age its not uncommon to have surveillance cameras all over, we expect it as a society. One place most times not under watch is our own homes. This service offers you a very simple and effective remedy to that. You are in a nutshell installing a home camera in your house. This camera is accessible by you from any personal computer, or ( and i think this is nice) a cell phone.

You dont need to be a computer wizard to do this either. They make it very simple. You only need to download their small software package, install it, and then enter your user name and pass word, then choose the camera you want to view. You can then have the camera feed live streamed to you.

There are many instances where technology this simple and practical can be put to use. The obvious first choice would be for your own home secutiry, to keep your house safe from dangerous and undesirable things such as burglary, or an attack on your home. And if these events did occur in the very least the law enforcement officials have soemthing to work with.

Perhaps another great use would be to monitor a caretaker with your child. A babysitter for example, in my opinion as a parent, they should all be monitored, I can not bear the tragedies I read in the papers about the horrendous neglect and abuse that children go through due to carelessness or malice hidden in a person we entrust with out dearest possessions. We as parents have the duty to our kids to have a system like the one being offered here, and for that reason alone, I have become a member of this site.

I could see this being invaluable to an overseas soldier. A hero away from his family as his child is born and grows up. I think if they could get a chance to get to a computer with internet and login and see the baby’s crib, that would just delight a guy like that. I think so anyways. I hope that people will be able to use this product for that reason as well.

The site guys one to say a few things i find interesting. One is that the folks behind homecamera.com are the research and development branch of a publicly trade corporation. Which means these arent some”fly by night” types and are worthy of our trust. Another interesting tidbit is that if your phone cant do video, the home camera system can bet set to send your phone photos. Most phones these days can accept photos.

The service is in beta testing and as such is free. The site tells me that if they ever start charging they intend to offer special packages to the people who use it as beta testers, as a thank you for helping them out. I think that pretty kind of them.

One last note, there is an option to only record when motion is detected. Meaning that when something is in camera’s view the camera will record it and send that alert to your mobile phone, and perhaps your personal computer as well. This might be the thing that homeowners and parent in specific have been waiting on. I like it and I tried it, try it and make your own decision.
