Piper NV Now Equipped With Night Vision


PiperNvCameraHome security is more multifunctional than ever. Say goodbye to simply arming your home from intruders (unless you want to opt for the “boring” old systems). Home security has evolved into home automation, live video and cloud recordings, and night lights too! iControl Networks has been working on a new sleek-looking tower, dubbed Piper NV, an upgrade to the original Piper, which was still loaded with perks. Despite all the extra functionality, Piper NV is still a focused device, allowing home owners to keep an eye on their turf from anywhere via mobile app (Android or iOS).

PiperNvCamera1At first glance, the pint glass-sized Piper NV looks like a ultra hip security camera, with one big eyeball. That big eyeball, now made of glass, actually packs a fantastic camera with 3.4 megapixel resolution (up from just 2MPs on the first model), and automatic night vision so it can kick on and capture footage even in the dark. What also comes in handy is the system's ability to handle 180-degree HD video. Co-founder Russel Ure stated that getting the night vision just right was a big challenge, especially with that wide angle viewing. But the upgrade certainty paid off, ridding the device of one of its previous shortcomings. Check!

PiperNvCamera2You can still get Piper's first model, priced at $199, but why would you want to? Piper NV comes with an array of infrared lights, and better camera quality for $269. Its super fast ARM processor can also improve security of the device by capturing motion-detected snippets straight from Piper's flash memory rather than sending it to the cloud first (Tech Crunch). Lastly, if you're a home automator and love connected devices, Piper can connect to any Z Wave-compatible gadget and become their smart hub.
