Piper classic All-in-One Security System Product Review: with Video Monitoring Camera

If you really want to know what happens behind the scene (when you’re not around) in your home, then look for Piper (Piper Classic All-In-One Security with Video Monitoring Camera). 

This is the story that made me look for this Video Monitoring Camera early this year:

A man bought this Classic Camera and hid it in his bedroom, after he received a series of reports from friends that his wife was cheating on him. But due to his tight schedules, he wasn’t actually making good use of it. One certain afternoon, he suddenly remembered Piper and decided to peep what was going on at home through his android tablet, and saw the ugliest thing his eyes could not contain-he saw a neighbor making love to his wife in his bedroom.  He quickly dropped every other thing he was doing, got down to the Car park, boarded his vehicle and drove home in a haste. On getting home, he couldn’t find the neighbor, but met his dubious spouse in some grin of fake delight.

“Welcome home, Daddy”, she greeted.

“Please don’t let me get upset now” The man spoke angrily. “Who was the person that just left this house a few minutes from now?”

“Nobody” she replied.

“Yeah, nobody but you’d just cheated on me”, he said.

The man brought his Android tablet and gave her the greatest shock of her life.

Look at the Brief Description of Piper Classic All in One Security System Video monitoring Camera.

 

Piper is the first all-in-one home security and home automation device. It combines an HD camera, panoramic video, Z-Wave home automation and environmental sensors into a single, elegant product that you interact with on your Android/iOS device. Piper transcends traditional security with no monthly contracts or fees, and there is no installation required; it is ready out of the box. One of Piper's main features includes fully customizable security through its wide-angle camera that lets you watch over what matters most. Set up rules for what Piper does when you're at home, away or on vacation -- "If motion is detected while I'm on vacation, sound the siren, record a video, and send me a text message."-- and know immediately what's going on. Piper also features alerts so you can get notified when things happen at home with a phone call, text message, or email and watch a video of what got Piper's attention. Within the camera view, watch live video and talk directly to the occupants in the room. Piper is ideal for communicating with kids after school, pets while at work, house sitters while away and for checking in on elderly parents or grandparents. Lastly, Piper features smart hardware and comes equipped with a motion detector, microphone, piercing siren, and battery backup for constant protection. Its built-in Z-Wave controller enables you to control, automate and schedule lights and small appliances, so your home can manage itself.

What are the happy buyers saying about Piper Classic video monitoring Cameras?

I researched consumer recommendations for home security options & found good ratings for the Piper products. From there, I bought a standard camera from the company & set it up. The Instructions that came with it were pretty good and was able to get it operational without the use of a u-tube tutorial. However, on retrospect, I would recommend viewing the tutorial beforehand. Piper staff was more than responsive to my inquiries & provided great support. So far, the software & equipment are operating seamlessly. I do wonder how it operates when visiting a foreign country.

All round security system

Piper is worth every dollar I spent on it. I own twelve pipers. I have three pipers and one infrared Piper in each of my three homes; one house in Florida and two in Massachusetts and can monitor them from anywhere. I would advise everyone to read the information and see all the different options that you can set the pipers for. I am totally pleased with their performance and their technical support. My only criticism would be that they don't yet support a z-wave keypad that would make it more family friendly. Children or other authorized people need a way to disarm the Piper security if you can't be reached. If Piper did support a z-wave keypad it would be definitely be five stars. Thanks. I have had systems for over a year.

I like the four settings Off,

This is a well-designed unit and IOS App. I have high hopes for this unit. I installed my second one today. I like the four settings Off, Home, Away and Vacation that allows for different rules. I just wish you could disable the camera in home mode.

Simple to Set Up - Great Video

By Steven Foster

First, this was the easiest setup I could have imagined - I had my Piper up and running in less than 10 minutes. It's a 3-set process to get your system ready and to connect it to your home WIFI, and the device does most of the work for you. I expected a laborious installation process, but was pleasantly surprised.

The one thing that really stands out when you use the Piper app is the quality of the live video. It's all very good. I can see and zoom in on on my entire living room and entryway. There is a two-way audio feature that you can use while you're viewing your video feed. I love the fact that I can pan and zoom the video to look at the entire room in detail.

I also added a few smart switches so I can control a few living room lights. The process to add the devices to my system was simple... Only took a couple of minutes. Best of all, scheduling my lights to turn on and off is so easy. There is a controls tab on the app that is so easy to use and understand that even I could figure out in seconds. There is also a rules tab to set up how you want to be notified if something happens. I found it simple to set up a notification when the motion sensor detects motion, but haven't yet set up other rules. Oh, you can also set the camera to capture a video clip when motion is detected.

The only thing that I don't find useful is the vitals tab. It gives you info about the temperature, sound, activity in your home over a 24 hour period. I'm sure others will find this helpful, but it's not that useful for me.

This is a great device that is simple to set up and use. And, there are a lot of features I have yet to use that look beneficial, so I'll find more value in it when I learn more.
