We love video cameras as a way of monitoring our pets, but if you’re like me – you can become immune to the constant audio notifications that often result from a simple hissing of a cat as he passes by his nemesis. Besides, there are just some things cameras can’t tell you – like if there is a carbon monoxide leak or if your smoke alarm goes off.
Luckily, there are devices created for your home that do allow you to check for these types of problems.
