LG's DIY security system wins -- but only if you want ADT

2017-01-26
this is LG's smart security wireless camera so similar to the Piper NV and the canary all-in-one security device this thing can do a whole lot first it has a built-in 93 decibel siren which is pretty loud it has motion detection but it also has some other surprise features so like the Piper and B it has a built in z-wave hub so you can actually pair and connect various z-wave devices basically whatever you want so I connected a water sensor it also has an Alexa skill so you can control your various z-wave connected devices with your boys so turning on the lights or turn them off and you can also create your own custom messages things like Alexa record a video clip as far as specs go this camera is roughly comparable to the nest cam it has 1080p live streaming and also 130 degree diagonal field of view but compare that to the Piper NV which also has 1080p but it has a 180 degree fisheye lens so in terms of wide-angle Piper definitely does a better the coolest thing about it as an all-in-one DIY device is that it actually works with a DT canopy so canopy is ADT's open API that extends ADT's basically professional monitoring and other you know camera and video storage to this device so instead of having to be locked into a several month contract and deal with termination fees and installation fees it's on a month-to-month basis and you can opt in to whatever level you want but it's limited in that there's no free options so if you don't want to pay for ADT then there's really no reason to get this device because Piper and canary would do it better
