Network Camera Results

[MarkTX]

OK, my wife wanted an Internet camera so we could see the pool on our home computers. I was initially like, "why?" but as usual it turned out to be a good idea. Here is a screen cap of the cam from media room. Also, the 1st pic of my pool on TFP. Hoping it helps to stir your imaginations.

PS I will add that the water is much more prettier and deeper blue than is shown. Thanks TFP!

Great looking pool. It's also good for safety. Adding a motion detector or motion detection software can be helpful to detect activity in the area.

I would love to get another camera as well so that I can face it at the pool for when the kiddos are home alone, or we are all gone (heaven forbid someone "wanders"in). I currently have two inside my home monitoring my common areas to watch the kids/pets while we are at work. These areas would also catch any intrusion/sneaking out as they cover the exterior doors....my kids are going to hate me come the teenage years when they get a little more adventurous.

Here is the upstairs one....I'd wave but I had to use both hands to capture the screenshot. [emoji2]

I have 5 web cams throughout my home and outside. Check out iSpy - works like a champ (and it is free).

What cameras are people using?

I'm using these, as they integrate with my SmartThings system....

With smartthings can you check on any of the cameras at any time though the app? I'm itching to get started with a home automation system, but its not a high priority in my budget right now.

I use the Samsung app (free) to view them from anywhere, anytime on my phone/ tablet. <br />

Through SmartThings I have them setup as a security system (free if used as a text notification setup) to record for a period of time when doors open. I use the built in motion sensor (which can also be utilised through SmartThings) to record continuously 24/7 until the memory card is full and then it just records over the old video.
