Holiday Gift Guide - Part 4 - Security Camera

It's another useful gift today, and it's a great one! The Trivision Cloud Cam Indoor Security Camera


I am a soon-to-be first time grandma so I have been looking into all kinds of new and exciting stuff they have out there for little ones. Back when I had my babies, the only baby monitors available were the kind that you could only listen through a somewhat walkie-talkie type contraption. These days they have EVERYTHING for kids! It's amazing to me. Even the sonogram technology is incredible. In mine, you could maaayyybee make out a vague shape of a baby, but with the new technology, you can make out the baby's face and everything! I cried the first time I saw my sweet little grandbaby girl's face. I could only dream of that technology 22 years ago!


Baby monitors now have become so advanced, I can barely believe it. In my wanderings on my favorite place to shop, Amazon, I found an indoor security camera that works as a baby monitor, pet monitor, basically anything in your home that you would like to monitor! 

The Trivision Cloud Camera works through your PC or an app for your android or Iphone. It has a 120° wide angle lens with an advanced motion sensor so you can detect motion around corners and blind spots. You are instantly notified through your app if any motion is detected with instant playback video and audio. With the audio capabilities, you can even speak to the baby through the camera! It backs up to the cloud so you don't lose important footage, or you can choose a microSD memory card for local backup!


I'm pretty excited about this one! I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself for when the baby visits, but it's going to my son and lovely daughter-in-law. I hope they love it!

Do you use an indoor security camera for your pets or as a baby monitor? What do you think about this awesome advance in technology?

Don't forget to check out the rest of the gift guide: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3!

  1. I actually don't have a security monitor in our home because we have neither pets nor kids. However, I this security system is a really good idea for busy parents--probably like your son and daughter-in-law, especially if they have young children or babies. I'm sure they will love this thoughtful gift! :)

  2. I never considered giving a security monitor to someone for the holidays, but now that so many of my friends are starting families and having pets, I think it is such a great idea! I definitely need to buy one for my pet!

  6. This would be super helpful with people who have pets at home! We used a monitor with our oldest, but not with our youngest. But, this one would probably be worth looking into!

    1. It's amazing how far it has advanced. I so wish I had one of these when they were babies! Of course, the internet was brand new when they were babies!
