Peace of Mind with 24/7 Monitoring of any Environment

Send notications with video clips whenever motion or sound is detected using just the DCS-8525LH

and an Internet connection. You can select areas of the video image to monitor for motion, allowing

the sound level required to trigger a notication, great for detecting the sound of an intruder or

vehicle, or the cry of a baby. Night time monitoring is also possible thanks to built-in infrared LEDs

which allow for night time viewing of up to 5 meters (16 feet), enabling round-the-clock monitoring

of your home or small oce.
