5 security cameras that seem like they’d be way more expensive than they are

TwitterFacebook

Are you a Game of Thrones fan? Let us put this in terms you’ll understand: If Westeros gets its own Night’s Watch to protect them from White Walkers, then your home deserves a security camera to keep intruders at bay, too. That’s just sound logic.

GoT references aside, knowing that you have a surveillance camera in place to serve as an extra set of eyes can give you peace of mind, especially if you have a child or a fur baby. And now you can make that dream a reality with this sale on five security cameras for your home:

1. Loocam 1080p Home Security Camera System — 16% off

Equipped with a 1080p CMOS progressive scan camera and split glass lens design, the Loocam captures clear and crisp images so you won’t miss a thing.

It also has a 60-feet UL-rated cable that’s certified for in-wall installation, and a metal IP67 weatherproof housing to endure all weather conditions. If you’re planning on installing it in a public area and are worried about strangers trashing it, the anti-vandal cable-through bracket has got you covered. Read more…

No, you can’t hide a security camera in your Airbnb rental photos and call that ‘disclosure’

TwitterFacebook

One person’s recent experience at an Airbnb has the company apologizing and clarifying its rules on surveillance devices.

Airbnb recently dismissed a privacy concern from one if its users when he discovered security cameras inside his Airbnb rental. The cameras were not mentioned in the Airbnb listing, as required by the company’s rules. After the user went public with his ordeal, Airbnb refunded the user, banned the host, and clarified that the listing did indeed break Airbnb policy.

When Jeffrey Bigham rented a home on Airbnb for himself and his family over the winter holiday break, everything seemed to check out. The Carnegie Mellon University professor detailed in a blog post how he went over the description, checked out the photos, and did his due diligence before renting the home. Read more…

As the saying goes, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

And if you’re fixated on keeping your family, valuables, and yourself out of harm’s way, there are plenty of precautions you can take.

In 2018, having your own security camera is a no-brainer for people who want to keep tabs on their home — but it’ll cost you. Most models cost a couple hundred dollars, so unless you have money to blow, you’ll be left to your own devices.
