Halloween sale on Netatmo security cameras (and HomeKit compatibility added too)

Netatmo is having a Halloween sale on their security cameras so now is the time to purchase if you haven’t already. I reviewed the Netatmo Presence Outdoor Security Camera and the Netatmo Welcome Indoor Security Camera and was very pleased with both. The Presence camera can tell the difference between people, car, and animal motions and records only those motions you select. And if it does misidentify something, you can improve its identification skills by correcting the error. It also stores video locally and on your own Dropbox account or FTP server (if you set it up to do so) so it does not require an ongoing subscription fee for cloud storage for your recordings. In addition, Netatmo is adding Apple HomeKit compatibility to the outdoor camera sometime this fall according to a press release. The Presence camera normally sells for $299 and is on sale now for $249. 

The Welcome camera can identify each member of your family and will only record those you wish to record; thus if you only wish to record unknown faces, it will do so. And just like the Presence camera, it records video locally and on your own Dropbox account or FTP server (if you set it up to do so). HomeKit compatibility will be added to this camera by the end of 2017. The Welcome camera itself is not on sale, but if you wish to purchase the Presence camera AND the Welcome camera, you can purchase both for $419 (down from $498).

Deal: Buy an LG TV from Amazon and they will mount it on your wall for FREE

If you have the available space, mounting your TV on a wall is a game changer when it comes to improving the experience of movies and TV shows. Mounting on a wall also keeps your home theater roomier and less cluttered. When we remodeled our basement several years ago, I made sure that we would mount our TV on the wall. That was 7 years ago and I can’t imagine ever going back to a console or table mounted TV. Now you can have a wall mounted TV too – For FREE.

Now through October 31, Amazon customers who purchase from a select group of LG TVs will be able to have it wall-mounted for free from Amazon Home Services. To get the free installation, you need to choose the option to include the option to include expert installation when you order your new TV. Just make sure that you do that before you click the Add to Cart button. Then when you go to the checkout, you’ll see the $131 discount reflected in the price.

Head over to Amazon for more details.
