Say Hello to Nest Cam

I'd buy this for my parents. Been looking for a software company that will do something like this instead of all the other crap that's out there. You won't believe the low quality crap my dad has been asking me to take a look at for their house.

If people got alternatives (decent software startups/companies), please post them :)

Check out Homeboy - https://www.homeboy.com

- completely cordless (battery powered, rechargeable, lasts up to 3 months on a charge)

- not continuously recording video but clip based, armed like a security alarm, video recordings are triggered by infrared motion sensor

- intelligent automatic arm/disarm based on smartphone geofences

- request a clip capture any time for peace of mind

Disclaimer: I work at Homeboy :) We've just made our second batch of cameras so they're ready for shipping very soon!

Is it indoor-only?

For now yes it is indoor-only but we are working on plans for a weather-proof outdoor version.

That way my first reaction.

My grandparents are very worried because of all the burglaries in their neighborhood. I know that cameras do not add security but they make them feel saver. This camera looks like the first simple solution which stores the records online and dont need any maintenance.

If someone got an alternative. Post it please.
