Monitor Your Home with the Withings Home Security Camera {Giveaway}

We live in a safe neighborhood but I still worry about someone breaking into our home. It’s always been a fear of mine, although I’ve never had any reason to worry. Well, that is until a couple of months ago. We woke up one morning to find that our garage window had been smashed in sometime during the middle of the night. While nothing was out of place, it was still unsettling. It was the extra push that my husband and I needed to set up a home monitoring system. We weren’t sure what to get — all we knew was we didn’t want to spend a lot or pay for a monthly service. The Withings Home has been the perfect solution!

The Withings Home is unlike any other security camera on the market. It offers one-way visual, two-way audio and it even tests for volatile organic chemicals to help you monitor your indoor air quality. It’s so versatile that you can use it as a security system, baby monitor, or just to check-in while you’re gone. It simply plugs in wherever you want it to go and can easily be moved to different areas, depending on what you want to capture.

We set ours up on top of our entertainment center in our living room and it captures all of our living room, dining room and kitchen, as well as our back door, garage door and front door. It’s the perfect spot for us because it captures all of our entry points and the areas where we spend the most time. It’s pretty impressive how much area the camera can capture, thanks to its wide-angle lens.

Even more impressive, the Home offers an HD video stream that has exceptional quality during both the day and night. It has a powerful infrared LED and mechanical filter that allows it to capture clear video even when your house is dark. You can even pan, tilt and zoom-in to see the smallest details.

Like most gadgets these days, there is an app that allows you to connect to the Home from your mobile device. You can view your video stream in real-time or you can even go back and watch a 24-hour time-lapse. The app makes it easy to check-in whenever you’d like, which has come in handy many times for us. When our kids are home with the babysitter, we can see what’s going on and we can even talk back and forth with them!

You can also use the app to set up mobile alerts that will notify you any time there is motion, sound or a change in air quality. We initially had ours set up to notify us any time there was motion but since we are home most of the day, this became super annoying with all the constant movement going on in our main living space. It’s a great feature to activate when you are away from home and you aren’t expecting any type of movement.

If you’ve been looking for a security camera, I would highly recommend checking out the Withings Home. It retails for $199 and there is no fee to use it unless you want to be able to store your footage for longer than a couple of days. If you travel a lot or plan on being gone for a week or more, one of the paid plans might be a good idea. For most people, however, the free service is just fine.

The Withings Home not only offers peace of mind, it also allows you to stay connected with your home. It’s attractive, easy to use and practical. It’s perfect for singles, families, the elderly and even businesses. What’s not to love?
