NetCam HD+. Love this product for peace of mind. You can stream live HD video from your home right to your smartphone or tablet. Set up the camera wherever you need to keep an eye on kids, elderly family members, and mischievous pets, any time, anywhere. The picture you will receive is crystal clear with vivid color.
What's more, if you subscribe to Cloud+ Premium Services you can record and store your favorite videos in the cloud to enjoy later. You can also receive notifications on your smartphone or tablet when the camera's motion sensor is triggered. The notifications include a video link, so you can watch the action without missing a beat.
Other features... Night vision is great for viewing what's happening in your home, baby's room, or office, in even total darkness. Everything is in a wide-angle format so that even the largest room is covered. You can also communicate with whoever is on the screen using the camera's push-to-talk function and its built-in hi-def microphone ensures sharp and clear responses. Speak directly into your smartphone or tablet. The motion sensor in the camera will let you know if anything is going on.
Simplicity is the best part about this cam. Just download the app to your device and connect to your home's WiFi router to start streaming video and audio. This cam also works with Belkin's WeMo products so that you have more options, like turning on your lights when someone walks through the door, and more! This is a great product that no one should be without.
Car Power Valet. This highly efficient charger delivers an unparalleled in-car charging experience for your mobile devices. The elegant Power Valet connects directly to your car’s cigarette lighter. Inside the Power Valet, a smart chip automatically registers the device connected via the braided Lightning cable to allow the ideal amount of power for optimal charging. There's even a Dash Magnet to secure the cable head to your dashboard to make sure it doesn't get lost or misplaced.
Surge Protectors. Belkin's extensive line of surge protectors will ensure that you and your products are protected and remain safe. The 12-outlet Home/Office protector, with its 8' cord, is our favorite. With an energy rating of 3940 Joules, it offers reliable, powerful protection for your professional workstations, printers, modems, home-theater systems, and household electronics. Essential power filtration, which reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), helps your home theater perform at its best. The right angle plug fits easily in tight spaces and behind furniture. With six regular outlets and six BlockSpace outlets, the Belkin Surge Protector can accommodate larger power adapters, like oversized printer and charger plugs, without blocking the other outlets. Just so there are no questions, the "Protected" indicator light turns green to let you know your equipment is secure while the "Not-Grounded" indicator warns you when your outlet is not properly grounded. No more worrying about power spikes or storms damaging your valuable devices. They are very serious about their products so if your electronic equipment is damaged by a surge, spike, or lightning strike while properly connected to this power strip, they will repair or replace it, up to $300,000. How much more reassuring do you need? I thought so... Belkin wins!
