Free Video Recording of Activity at Your Front Door

So much can happen when you’re away from home. Smart home devices like IP connected surveillance cameras and video doorbells can capture the action as it unfolds, but what if you want to review the footage later on? August Home Inc. announces a recording service free to users of its August Doorbell Cam, a device that lets you see and speak with visitors at their door, from anywhere, using a smartphone.

Motion detection triggers alerts whenever something is happening at the front door. August Video Recording lets you replay, download and share recordings of each interaction at the front door – visitors who ring the doorbell and any motion or missed visitor such as a package delivery, all from the August app.

In conjunction with this announcement, current customers, as well as new customers who activate their Doorbell Cam by December 31, 2016, automatically receive six months of the new service free-of-charge. The service includes 30 days of video history. After the promotion, August Video Recording will be available for $4.99 a month or $49.99 for a one-year plan.

“The launch of our Digital Video Recording service signals the end of our public Beta,” says Jason Johnson, CEO of August Home Inc. “During the Beta, customers spent a significant amount of time reviewing motion-triggered suspicious activities and viewing live, on-demand video to simply check what is going on outside their door. They shared videos of kids trick-or-treating for Halloween, and also package thieves stealing deliveries from their doorstep. This validated the power of our Doorbell Cam not only as a way to communicate with visitors remotely, but also as an important security tool.” Johnson continues, “Offering users six months of Digital Video Recording service for free is a way for us to thank our customers for their loyalty and encourage new customers to experience how smart security products like our Doorbell Cam will provide peace of mind and bring new convenience.”

The August Doorbell Cam is a Wi-Fi connected HD camera equipped with two-way audio and one-way video, giving a clear view of visitors from a smartphone, while ensuring privacy. It is easy to install and replaces an existing doorbell and wiring. Users get alerts when motion is detected and can also view on-demand activity outside their door in real-time through the August app. The August Doorbell Cam seamlessly integrates with the August Smart Lock, by operating as a Bluetooth to Wi-Fi bridge so that users can unlock/lock their door to let visitors in from anywhere.
