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

00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:19.199
know what the difference between wiress and wire free is but there are no wires

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:25.599
I think that is the point they're trying to make wirefree video monitoring system

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:29.359
place it anywhere view it anywhere includes this there's a there's a

00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:34.480
variety of different kits but this particular one includes two motion

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:39.520
cameras one base station one outdoor shell and mount four wall mounts and the

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:43.079
batteries that you need to have them run at an estimated sort of 5 minutes per

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

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:51.920
time place anywhere view any time okay I think we covered all of this already aha

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:56.359
here we go wirefree motion detection email alerts indoor use and outdoor use

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

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

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

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

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.080
a phone and she's presumably like something good to do with monitoring

00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:22.320
security so she can see her property her family and her

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:27.360
pets H that's a white girl I mean I'm not

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

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:36.680
moving right along we've got a few different options software wise you can

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

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:46.719
motion detection with email alerts you can take a snapshot so no video okay

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

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:55.119
deal camera supported 25 and 15 from the free to Premier to Elite options the

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:59.200
base station does support 15 cameras so the hardware is already there to support

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:03.159
the elite option location supported 1 one and three so you can monitor

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.320
multiple different locations digital pan and zoom you're going to have to pay for

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

00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:14.840
that you can securely record video to the cloud with the premier and the elite

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:19.720
service options it's compatible with both iOS and Android so that's a good

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.160
thing and we've also got some specifications down here as well so

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:30.120
check this out video resolution is 640x480 at 3 FPS okay uh qvga to 320x

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:34.599
240 at 7 FPS so we're not talking about you know taking beautiful HD photos

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:38.959
we're talking about like functional security motion sensing and you know

00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:41.800
that kind of good stuff physical specifications okay let's open this bab

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

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:51.760
is a quick install guide followed by another quick install guide two quick

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:56.720
install guides because one quick install guide is not good enough for net gears

00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:58.400
customers no no they will provide

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:03.280
multiple quick install Ah that's for the outdoor Mount and this is just sort of

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

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:14.760
say connect your viewone system to the internet okay install camera batteries

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

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

00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:31.439
got a general public license sure whatever okay got a bag got some

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:37.400
environmentally friendly paper packaging very nice love to see that all right we

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

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

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:49.680
base station which wirelessly communicates with up to 15 cameras so

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

00:03:52.200 --> 00:03:58.159
find out hold on there we go power

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

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:05.280
figure it out but there's a highly amusing Amazon review of this thing that

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:09.360
basically it's a good review overall of the unit but it says that that you

00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:13.640
manual and website make no mention of it they couldn't figure it out either so

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.720
there you go reset button there's your sync button up there as well as your

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.639
power internet view Zone status indicators and that's it that's the base

00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:27.680
station it just basically looks like that plugs into the wall nothing that

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:29.080
complicated here we have some of the

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.120
forget what this battery standard's called CR a something or other it's a

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:37.280
3vt battery so presumably there are two cells inside there and these are for the

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:40.680
cameras themselves they're really cheap you can buy them in bulk on Deal extreme

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

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:48.759
already anyway wall mounts so these are your drywall screws if you wanted to W

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:54.639
Mount to drywall here these are little base station little doodads so you just

00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:57.840
kind of uh this must come off here

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.960
somehow oh adhesive surface there you go

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:03.840
so you just pull that off caution adhesive may damage surface or paint so

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

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

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.240
first make it sticky enough to work but not sticky enough to take the paint

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:19.919
right off the wall when you're done so those are little mounting doodads and

00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:23.240
they're magnetized see that so you just kind of put this wherever you want and

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.120
you put this guy on here and you can position it wherever you want so those

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

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

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

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

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:46.960
motion sensor right there there's your lens right there

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:48.759
and there is your battery compartment

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:53.840
right presumably yeah there all right so throw

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

00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:01.319
compact I mean yeah it's only 3 FPS or you know whatever other complaints you

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

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:08.360
add more U more cameras to it should you

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

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:15.440
me power it on okay just like that all

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:22.560
right what else we got in here Ethernet cable for plugging in the base

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:25.000
station aha outdoor Mount very cool so

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:28.919
this guy right here is I guess what the screws are for well no different screws

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

00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:36.479
you want has a mount right here that is actually capable of rotating as much as

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

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

00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:51.240
point it wherever you want you just open it up with two screws here and here

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:56.000
throw the unit inside and it should be weatherproof they operate uh up to I

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:58.120
think -4° so for those of you who live in

00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:03.759
Toronto sorry it never goes under-14

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.000
here um yeah it's probably fine especially if you keep it close enough

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:09.680
to your house that it's getting some incidental heat off of there and I mean

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

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

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.560
actually for for this so includes pretty

00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:24.639
much everything you need right out of the box there you go that's everything

00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:28.639
so you got your two cameras and you can buy more you got all your mounting

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

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.599
potentially move them around if you want you could have these permanently fixed

00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:39.680
in places that are convenient and you can attach one of them Outdoors should

00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:42.240
you desire to do so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the view
