so it may not look like it but this is actually a home security system it first launched on Kickstarter and had a lot of enthusiasm surrounding it mainly because it looks really different than most security devices that we tested out it has a vaguely tablet shape it has a built-in 720p camera and a bunch of environmental sensors the thing that really sets it apart is its design again it looks different than most security systems that I've tested it has an actual interactive interface instead of just a static camera that you can't interface with this device also has a related Android and iOS app so you can access live streams remotely and even set up third-party devices including Belkin Wemo products Philips you and nest thermostats well I appreciate the innovative approach the century team took with this product it loses something in translation most people don't want a static device they have to interface with just when they're sitting on their couch they want something that they can take with them and even though century does offer and Android an iOS app as well this thing costs a lot it's 299 bucks so that's a lot to spend on this sort of secondary interface that you probably won't use I could however see this product working out for someone who wants a connected smart home style device but doesn't actually like smart phones or smart apps otherwise I would suggest skipping this device entirely and focusing instead on something like AI controls piper classic and piper NV cameras they're very similar they cost a little bit less and they just perform better overall
