Anyone have these? How is the video? Is it color images? Do you have to use the motorola service to stream over the net? I have been looking for something to check on my dogs while I am at work. thanks.
Seems like a rip to me… The specs state that to view over and use with the internet, you must subscribe to their service and I assume view through them. What a load. The box should be IP addressable and viewed without paying motorola a subscription fee.
so wait… why do i need a subscription to access the monitoring remotely? As long as your router is configured for remote access, you should be able to vpn in and view this the same as you would on the internal netork. What am i missing???
Interesting. I’ve actually been thinking about getting some kind of systems like this. Especially since our Garage is separated from the house and you never know if anyone has broken into it until after you’ve walked out from the house and into the garage.
