So there has been a lot of talk about the Rogers smart home monitoring camera out here in Canada and a lot of people have been asking me if I think it is any good. Here are my thoughts on their camera.
Rogers Smart Home Camera Pros
l love the fact that their camera can let you see what’s happening in or outside your home during the day or night, from anywhere at any time. Some companies only sell outdoor cameras, while others focus on indoor cameras. That’s something you have to respect about Rogers.
The camera also allows you to create personalized automation rules with the functionality to take pictures and video at specific times such as when the alarm goes off or when the motion sensor is triggered. This can come in handy in the unfortunate event that a burglar broke into you home.
Rogers Smart Home Camera Cons
Now as much as I like this camera there have been multiple complaints about it not recording and storing any actual footage, despite having a proper SD card installed. As you can already imagine, this could be a recipe for disaster if a criminal broke into your home. I haven’t heard any such problems with cameras offered by rival home home security specialists such as Frontpoint Security.
To make the problem worse many people complain about how bad the Rogers smart home app is as well. In addition to that, you may want to watch the following video showing you their camera in action.
Conclusion
As you can see for yourself, the Rogers smart home camera system has a lot of problems. If you you feel the need to bundle all your home services with them, maybe this could be a good solution for you but in all honesty I would suggest looking into companies like Frontpoint Security instead because they have better equipment.
