My Take on the Camera
While my neighborhood is fairly safe, we have had some issues with teens lately ding dong ditching around our neighborhood, and we have had numerous occasions where, in the middle of the night, our doorbell is hit, we go to the door, and no one was there. That being said, I was excited to try this as a motion detector camera to see what I could see in general and see if we could catch the person in the act. 

The camera was easy to install and set up and while the prankster did not come back in the first week, we did get some images of some animals coming up close to the front door, that I was not expecting. The animal pictures were very high quality, even though it was darker than usual. 

So while our prankster has not been back to our house yet, I have heard that a few other homes have been visited, so we may be on borrowed time. 

That being said, the the images that we have seen thus far, I can tell that any other images that we will receive in the future will be of equal quality, which could help in the identification of the person, and eventually having the person get in trouble with the authorities, or at least with their own parents (as I am guessing it is a teenager, but you never know).

All-in-all I am very impressed thus far. I love the images we have received and know that they will only keep coming for the foreseeable future.

About the Camera
The eagerly anticipated Polaroid Cube lifestyle action video camera is now shipping and cracking open the high-octane action market for everyday consumers who want to capture videos with friends, family or pets anywhere. In recent months, the camera has piqued everyone’s interest, as the Polaroid Cube is a cute, fun, lighthearted camera that truly embodies the Polaroid DNA. Offered in a variety of eye-catching colors with the iconic Polaroid Color Spectrum emblazoned around it much like a racing stripe, the lightweight, affordably priced Polaroid Cube features a distinctive 35mm square design, harkening back to 35mm film and a range of fun mounts and accessories.

Polaroid Cube

“Just as Polaroid did with photography in the 70s, we are expanding the lifestyle action camera market for the family, or everyday user. We’re not all cliff divers or extreme athletes, many of us would like to be able to capture and share a monumental moment such as our child’s first bike ride, a walk in the park with the family dog or a family weekend beach excursion out on the water,” said Scott W. Hardy, President and CEO of Polaroid. “The Polaroid Cube offers the everyday user a fun, easy to use way to capture the exciting action unfolding in their daily lives.”


Innovative Design
Embodying the Polaroid commitment to helping people capture and share life’s most memorable moments, the Polaroid Cube lifestyle action video camera features an iconic one-button design, a rugged, rubberized exterior, and built-in magnet allowing it to attach to bicycle handlebars, helmets, household appliances and more. Renowned design firm Ammunition created the product and packaging design of the Polaroid Cube and its accessories.

The Polaroid Cube lifestyle action video camera is available for $99.99 online at www.Polaroidcube.com, www.amazon.com and in select stores starting October 1. For more information, please visit www.Polaroidcube.com.




My Take on the Book
This is a great portable camera that allows you to truly take the world with you. No matter where you go or what you are doing you can take video or still images on the go or while standing still. The camera is so small, but it does take good quality images. I gave this to my daughter to try on the go and she took to it like a fish to water. She loved being able to connect this to her bike or to her skateboard and turn on the video component. She enjoyed showing the videos to her friends and loved being able to just put it into her pocket at the end of the day and take it with her again on her next adventure.

While I had not tried action cams before, this camera made it easy to be able to capture the world around you. I enjoyed that the camera allowed you to be able to expand the memory with a micro SD Card. I had an extra 32GB Micro SD and it allowed me to be able to record videos for a long time. My daughter has made quite a few videos and she has only struck the surface of the memory.

I have yet to speak of the design, but the camera is stylish. The magnet that comes with this is powerful and can hold well to any metal surface no matter what direction you place it. I also have found that it seems to stick on almost any metal surface that I have tried thus far.

All-in-all this was a great, versatile camera that my daughter is still having a blast with!

The Watchbot Camera Gives Your Family Peace of Mind

Watchbot


About the Product
The WatchBot is a CCTV unit for the home or office. It has a unique 30 second set-up time and works wirelessly to enable you to watch your sleeping child in bed, keep an eye on the cat or dog while at work or simply feel reassured when you leave the office or shop at night, perfect for those going away on vacation The WatchBot features include a motion sensor; two-way audio; remote control function from your pc, smartphone or tablet; night vision.


My Take on the Product
For me having pets is both wonderful and challenging. Pets give us unconditional love with asking little in return, while at the same time, they have needs that are sometimes hard to deal with when you have to work on a daily basis. Recently my own family adopted a new cat from a local animal control. The issue that we have with her is that she has all of her claws and as a young cat she still like to sharpen her claws and lately it has been on our own furniture. On top of this she is mischievous and is always seemingly getting into trouble, so having the ability to keep an eye on her definitely appeals to me in many ways. With that in mind this camera gives peace of mind and allows me to know what is happening around my home no matter where I am.

This fully function and controllable camera is can be controlled remotely and you get a crisp video and even audio feed that allows you to keep an eye on what is happening both day and night within your home. With the fact that the camera has a full 360 degree control radius as well as both day and night vision capabilities, no matter if you are at work or if you are away on vacation you can know what is happening at home.

The camera was super easy to set up, and within seconds you are ready to go. One of the perks of this is the software that it comes with. The software was very easy to use and allows you full control over the camera itself. A nice thing about the software and the camera is that once set up you can use the camera over multiple devices to keep even more tabs on your home.

All-in-all I was very impressed with the quality of the camera, the crispness of the images that were shared as well as the ease of installation and usability across multiple platforms. I was even able to catch my cat doing some things that she knows she is not supposed to be doing! If you are looking for a security camera that gives you all of this and more, I encourage you to try it out for yourself today!
