Momma was one of the first helicopter moms; before it was even a thing, and long before it was cool. She never wanted children and agreed to my conception solely out of love for my father; it kinda gives you the warm fuzzies as we approach Mother's Day, right? Regardless, she did become a mother, and she was a wonderful one, though the way she tended to hover over me at times often made me feel considerably less independent than I desired. Today's modern Momma is juggling more than ever, and as my sister, the mother of a 9 month old AND 12 year-old, knows, it's not easy to have your eyes everywhere they're needed, at once.
Thankfully we live in a magnificent digital world where the technology of home camera systems is more advanced, and readily affordable than ever. For Mother's Day Savannah got a new IZON View WiFi Connected camera for the home. Not only did it connect to her and her hubby's phone's out of the box in less than 10 minutes, but she was able to set up an account and pass-code she could provide any concerned caregiver, or nosy Aunt *cough, cough,* to keep an eye on the kids or home during extended periods away. Heck, with the live stream of sound and video we could even video chat in a sense!
The IZON View is a discreet, narrow, camera available in black or white finishes which runs on your home's WiFi network to transmit live or recorded signal streams to any Apple or Android device with the companion application. It even has an enhanced night vision mode for complete piece of mind and 24/7 monitoring! But let's talk a little more about how the IZON View works beyond your typical 'baby monitor' to prove itself as a full house security aid and pet/child safety monitor.
Available at a fraction of the cost of most high end baby monitor systems, the IZON View feed is entirely portable to any device with the installed app, whether you are sitting in your home or in line at the pharmacy. The IZON's feed is in full color, with sound, and features a companion night vision function for low light or late night monitoring. You can watch the feed live, as it occurs with a less than second delay, or set the app up to alert you whenever there is a noise or movement alert of a certain magnitude, within the camera's range. The IZON View will them ping your mobile device with a clip of the recorded event!
What Daughter Says: You don't have to be watching all the time to have piece of mind, simple modern home security solutions allow you to let your eyes face forward again.
One Momma Told Me reader will win an IZON View.
IZON View Camera
That looks like a great little device! If I ever have kids I think I would probably have something like this!
ReplyDeleteThis is great for those without kids too, think home security! You could leave it on when you go on vacation and keep tabs on the house-sitter, or even receive noise and motion alerts so you can send a neighbor on over to check it out!
DeleteWell that's just too cool for words. I'm sure it does give her comfort to be able to actually see what is going on when she can't be there. Here it would show the Farm cats' activities. I am not sure I really want to know what they do when I am not around....
ReplyDeleteI am not sure this is something I would necessary need as I have no children and as I stated I don't think I want to know what the cats are up to. I wonder if I could put it in the barn for when the goats are kidding.
ReplyDeleteI think that's so cool! I'd love this for when my husband and I are out and about.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome for moms! 2015 is really bringing some great stuff tech-wise.
ReplyDeleteThe feature that impresses me is how it blends in. The question I have that I tried to find but may have missed is can you change the angle of the camera remotely? Like have it scan around the room? I simply cannot believe how affordable IZON is!
ReplyDeleteNot with this model, though you can change the angle of the camera on the stand manually. That would be a great feature for future models!
DeleteThat's one of my favorite parts, too! Most baby monitors LOOK like baby monitors.
DeleteI've been looking for something like this. I like that it alerts you to noise/motion - perfect for when travelling!
ReplyDeletei have to say the motion - noise alerts woud be pretty great. this whole product would be very handy for my busy household
ReplyDeleteKeeping an eye on my kids!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool device! I think the night vision and the free cloud video recording are awesome features!
ReplyDeleteI had an instance not too long ago where I had 2 sick kids at home. They needed to stay in a closed room with a humidifier. Having a camera on them made it so much easier to work at home and keep and eye on them.
ReplyDeleteI do think that you need a security camera for kids at any age. For safety and parenting needs I would like to have one of these cameras!
ReplyDeleteI think the night vision would be great for my house because at night it is very dark around my house.
ReplyDeleteWe would probably use it as a baby monitor and would use the motion and noise detector and night vision.
ReplyDeleteI like the night vision feature
ReplyDeletethe motion sensor so no one can sneak up behind me
ReplyDeleteI really like that it will give you alerts. I would certainly use it.
ReplyDeleteI love how it has a night vision feature! So useful for checking up on your little ones while they sleep!
ReplyDeleteI love how it has night vision. Perfect for checking on family members at night workout disturbing them.
ReplyDeleteWould use for when someone is at door, and I am in other room, but kids are in living room. I worry about someone comming in or a child opening the door.
ReplyDeleteI like the feature Noise & Motion Alerts, sounds great to me.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Secure Real-time Video! I think it would be great for my family!
ReplyDeleteWe have 3 cats and I like to be able to know what is going on when I am working or away for a weekend..
ReplyDeleteI ve teenagers would like to watch and see who is telling truth
ReplyDeleteI do not have babies but, I do have young children that are at the age to be left home alone for the first time and fur babies one a puppy that has some anxiety issues when left alone along with other naughty puppy issues lol! This would be so handy when not home not only for watching my children and pets when away but if we go on a camping trip which is done frequently during the spring, summer, and fall seasons, this would be a great security system!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for our little doggies when we aren't at the house. It's great that it has motion and sound sensor.
ReplyDeleteAs a single working Mom of 3, I like how discreet the alarm system id and how easy to use and connect "out of the box in less than 10 minutes"-- Nicole Bowers
ReplyDeleteWe are actually looking into something like this.. Had all of our electrical wires stolen from the home we r remodeling.. The night vision and secure real time video both would b important features for us!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that it has free cloud recording is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI like the noise & motion alerts.
ReplyDeleteI love how easy it is to set up! That's my biggest complaint about wifi security.
ReplyDeleteI think the night vision is fantastic! I live on a dark dead end and would love to see how this works!
ReplyDeleteNight vision is awesome. It is good to be able to use without having to walk into the room and disturb sleeping children.
