00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:14,839
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Netgear view Zone okay so I don't

2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,199
know what the difference between wiress and wire free is but there are no wires

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:25,599
I think that is the point they're trying to make wirefree video monitoring system

4
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,359
place it anywhere view it anywhere includes this there's a there's a

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,480
variety of different kits but this particular one includes two motion

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:39,520
cameras one base station one outdoor shell and mount four wall mounts and the

7
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,079
batteries that you need to have them run at an estimated sort of 5 minutes per

8
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:48,199
day depending on when they turn on from motion sensing for up to 6 months at a

9
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,920
time place anywhere view any time okay I think we covered all of this already aha

10
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,359
here we go wirefree motion detection email alerts indoor use and outdoor use

11
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,079
are all supported let's go ahead and flip over to the side they give you some

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,840
examples of where you could mount it like to a tree or to a wall or to with

13
00:01:02,519 --> 00:01:08,360
our Innovative wirefree cameras you'll avoid the hassle of running ugly power cords you'll spend more time deciding

14
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:13,479
where to put your cameras than you will setting them up so there's a chick with

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:18,080
a phone and she's presumably like something good to do with monitoring

16
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:22,320
security so she can see her property her family and her

17
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:27,360
pets H that's a white girl I mean I'm not

18
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:33,200
trying to you know be like that about it or anything but I don't think that's her kids they could be adopted okay so

19
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,680
moving right along we've got a few different options software wise you can

20
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:41,280
use the free option which gives you you know the camera well you bought the cameras so obviously you have those

21
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:46,719
motion detection with email alerts you can take a snapshot so no video okay

22
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:51,040
$4.95 a month to get video next we've got live video on your computer no big

23
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:55,119
deal camera supported 25 and 15 from the free to Premier to Elite options the

24
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,200
base station does support 15 cameras so the hardware is already there to support

25
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:03,159
the elite option location supported 1 one and three so you can monitor

26
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,320
multiple different locations digital pan and zoom you're going to have to pay for

27
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,399
that live video on your iPad iPhone or Android got to pay for that and look at

28
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:14,840
that you can securely record video to the cloud with the premier and the elite

29
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:19,720
service options it's compatible with both iOS and Android so that's a good

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,160
thing and we've also got some specifications down here as well so

31
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:30,120
check this out video resolution is 640x480 at 3 FPS okay uh qvga to 320x

32
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:34,599
240 at 7 FPS so we're not talking about you know taking beautiful HD photos

33
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:38,959
we're talking about like functional security motion sensing and you know

34
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,800
that kind of good stuff physical specifications okay let's open this bab

35
00:02:40,519 --> 00:02:46,040
baby up and have a look at what we got going on in here so first thing we see

36
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:51,760
is a quick install guide followed by another quick install guide two quick

37
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:56,720
install guides because one quick install guide is not good enough for net gears

38
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,400
customers no no they will provide

39
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,280
multiple quick install Ah that's for the outdoor Mount and this is just sort of

40
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:08,680
in general what to do on sort of one page or less there you go what do they

41
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:14,760
say connect your viewone system to the internet okay install camera batteries

42
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,959
sync B sync cameras to the base station okay there you go hold within 12 in and

43
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:24,720
something something install cameras register your viewzone system and get the viewone mobile app that's it okay we

44
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:31,439
got a general public license sure whatever okay got a bag got some

45
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:37,400
environmentally friendly paper packaging very nice love to see that all right we

46
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,560
got some power adapters here so you can run these up the walls to the camera n

47
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,400
I'm just messing with you you don't have to do that you just plug this into the

48
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,680
base station which wirelessly communicates with up to 15 cameras so

49
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:55,920
you plug that guy into your router and I have no idea what that does guess we'll

50
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:58,159
find out hold on there we go power

51
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,360
connector okay it's not labeled either we'll be back in a moment so we didn't

52
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:05,280
figure it out but there's a highly amusing Amazon review of this thing that

53
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:09,360
basically it's a good review overall of the unit but it says that that you

54
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:13,640
manual and website make no mention of it they couldn't figure it out either so

55
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,720
there you go reset button there's your sync button up there as well as your

56
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,639
power internet view Zone status indicators and that's it that's the base

57
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:27,680
station it just basically looks like that plugs into the wall nothing that

58
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,080
complicated here we have some of the

59
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,120
forget what this battery standard's called CR a something or other it's a

60
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,280
3vt battery so presumably there are two cells inside there and these are for the

61
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:40,680
cameras themselves they're really cheap you can buy them in bulk on Deal extreme

62
00:04:39,039 --> 00:04:44,840
I have a laser pointer that takes these batteries so I have tons of them at home

63
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,759
already anyway wall mounts so these are your drywall screws if you wanted to W

64
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,639
Mount to drywall here these are little base station little doodads so you just

65
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:57,840
kind of uh this must come off here

66
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:59,960
somehow oh adhesive surface there you go

67
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,840
so you just pull that off caution adhesive may damage surface or paint so

68
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,800
be careful maybe test it in a discreet location or what I sometimes do if I'm

69
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:11,600
going to stick it to something that I don't want to damage is I'll just kind of go like this on my shirt a little bit

70
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,240
first make it sticky enough to work but not sticky enough to take the paint

71
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,919
right off the wall when you're done so those are little mounting doodads and

72
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,240
they're magnetized see that so you just kind of put this wherever you want and

73
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,120
you put this guy on here and you can position it wherever you want so those

74
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:29,720
are those are the cameras they're not wide angle lenses so you do want to get

75
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:34,000
them nice and up high maybe in a corner if you want to capture an entire room

76
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,520
okay there you go it's got little rubber things here so you can not lose your

77
00:05:36,039 --> 00:05:40,880
grip on them when you're putting them up presumably that's why okay there's your

78
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,960
motion sensor right there there's your lens right there

79
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:48,759
and there is your battery compartment

80
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:53,840
right presumably yeah there all right so throw

81
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:57,759
a couple batteries in there no big deal I like that they're nice and light and

82
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,319
compact I mean yeah it's only 3 FPS or you know whatever other complaints you

83
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:06,560
might have but at least it's small and Compact and you can easily scale it and

84
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:08,360
add more U more cameras to it should you

85
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,880
should you want oh that that opens it up okay I didn't realize that before so let

86
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:15,440
me power it on okay just like that all

87
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:22,560
right what else we got in here Ethernet cable for plugging in the base

88
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:25,000
station aha outdoor Mount very cool so

89
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,919
this guy right here is I guess what the screws are for well no different screws

90
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,680
for that so you can screw it into a tree or the side your house or whatever else

91
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:36,479
you want has a mount right here that is actually capable of rotating as much as

92
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:42,160
you or as little as you want you just use this guy right here to lock it in place there you go now it won't turn

93
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,280
very easily anymore once we go ahead and tighten this guy as well so there you go

94
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:51,240
point it wherever you want you just open it up with two screws here and here

95
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:56,000
throw the unit inside and it should be weatherproof they operate uh up to I

96
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,120
think -4° so for those of you who live in

97
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,759
Toronto sorry it never goes under-14

98
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,000
here um yeah it's probably fine especially if you keep it close enough

99
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,680
to your house that it's getting some incidental heat off of there and I mean

100
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,199
besides the batteries wearing out faster I can't imagine there's anything in here that would be particularly damaged by

101
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:19,280
the cold weather but feel free to let me know if I'm wrong includes a screwdriver

102
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,560
actually for for this so includes pretty

103
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,639
much everything you need right out of the box there you go that's everything

104
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:28,639
so you got your two cameras and you can buy more you got all your mounting

105
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:32,039
screws you've got I mean this is cool so it includes extra of these so you could

106
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:35,599
potentially move them around if you want you could have these permanently fixed

107
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,680
in places that are convenient and you can attach one of them Outdoors should

108
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:42,240
you desire to do so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the view
