My son Alex no longer lives at home. But, my Chihuahua Chase does. I never know what I’m going to come home to when it’s necessary to leave him alone for the day. Did I mention he happens to be going through his “terrible twos” stage? I’ve never had a dog that loves to chew as much as he does. The stories I could tell!
Samsung’s SmartCam HD Plus to the rescue! It looks like the perfect solution to keep track of him while I’m away. Not only can I keep track of his sneaky behaviors, but I can also monitor to make sure he is safe and secure. The camera is loaded with great features and is available at a very affordable price.
Samsung SmartCam HD Plus
Android and iOS Friendly
As you can probably guess, you need to download an app to use the camera virtually. It’s available at no charge for both Android and iOS users. That means I can watch a live video stream of Chase on my brand-new cell phone. How cool is that?
This nifty little camera, which is available in black or white, doesn’t take up much space. It fits nicely on any small space, such as on my TV stand next to the TV. Since Chase spends a lot of time in the living room (at least when someone is home) it seems like the perfect location.
Great View and Night-Vision Capable
I love the fact that the Samsung SmartCam HD Plus features a 130° field of view, 4x digital zoom and pan/tilt ability. Chase would need to be the world’s sneakiest Chihuahua to get something past this camera lens.
Night vision is another great feature. Even if the room is pitch black the camera provides you with a clear picture of what is happening in the room.
Sound and Motion Detection
Motion detection is a must with any security camera. This one allows you to choose up to three different areas of your room to monitor… think windows and doors. If sound and/or movement is detected, you’ll be the first to know. You have the option of recording continuously or when movement is detected. It’s easy to save the video on a micro SD card, which must be purchased separately.
The SmartCam HD, by Samsung, comes with a built-in speaker and mic. In the event I needed to speak with Chase, while I am away, all I have to do is press the mic button on the app. And, yes, I talk to my dog more than I care to admit. He’s not just a d-o-g. He’s a little person with fur!
The Samsung SmartCam HD Plus is a great option for any pet owner. The peace of mind I get knowing everything and everyone is safe at home is well worth the investment. After all, you can never be too careful when it comes to the people and spoiled Chihuahua you love!
