Back in June<\/a>, I mentioned that my family and I were trying out the\u00a0all-in-one Piper<\/a> security system. Now that we\u2019ve had some time to try it out, it was high time I shared our findings with you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n What makes Piper different than other systems is that it is not just for video of your home while away. It also has a built-in siren, a speaker and microphone, can track temperature changes, can send alerts to family and friends, and can connect to Z-Wave accessories such as a door sensor and remote controlled switches. It really is like an electronic house sitter!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a run-down on some of these features:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two areas that I would like to see improvement in is the webcam itself. The quality of video is okay. It\u2019s clear enough to get the job done but it has lower resolution than other cameras we’ve reviewed. The night vision is triggered fairly easily and if you\u2019re about 1-2 feet away from the camera, the light washes your face out completely. Also, ambient sound is picked up right away so we always hear a clicking white noise during footage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you set Piper to vacation or away mode, 30-45 seconds of video is recorded and can be downloaded. Every time movement is detected, video recording will begin. Free cloud video is included. However, it would be nice to be able to record at will though.<\/p>\nAll-in-One Piper Security System Review<\/h3>\n
