WIRELESS SECURITY CAMERAS ARE EASY TO INSTAL AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO LIVE FEED WITHOUT COSTING A BOMB.
Mayank Agarwal from Delhi was away on vacation when burglars broke into his home. But the Yi Home security camera installed there promptly detected the motion and sent notifications to his mobile. Agarwal accessed the recording and the live feed and got in touch with the police who caught the miscreants. Welcome to the world of smart security cameras which are affordable, can be placed anywhere and you can set them up yourself, unlike the traditional CCTV. Better still, these Wi-Fi-powered devices give you instant access to footage irrespective of your location.M
Take, for instance, the Yi Home Camera mentioned above. Priced at ₹2,499, this handy surveillance system starts recording as soon as it detects human movement and notifies you in real time (there is a 30-second lag). The 111° wide-angle lens, 4x digital zoom and 720p resolution make it easy to identify faces in well-lit condition. It automatically shifts to infrared (IR) night vision mode when it is dark. Yi Home also records voice while the two-way audio enables you to speak through the camera when you are away. If you are looking for more variety, try the Portronics SeeSaw II (₹2,499), which can be placed anywhere in your home/office, can capture footage at 720p resolution, offers two way communication and stores the video recording on a microSD card.
