2-for-Tuesday: Zmodo MeShare 720P Wifi Cameras

  • We’re selling two today, but you can set up unlimited cameras under your account.
  • You get 36 hours of free cloud storage, or you could pay for “enhanced storage” in case you need to archive all that footage of your living room being empty.
  • The video is 720p HD and up to 32ft IR night vision.
  • Set it up on your wifi network with your phone or tablet, then access it on your phone or tablet. And your computer. I guess I need to mention that, but damn, it really kills the flow.
  • We should point out that it is only compatible with WiFi networks up to 2.4GHz.
  • If you bought the Zmodo Pivot (or even if you didn’t), you can access this camera through the same Zmodo app.
  • Model: MS-171H, which means 171H may be married or unmarried.

Checking In

One time, I left without remembering to close the door.

I was living in a house somewhere so rural we didn’t need to lock up, and, in a rush to leave (I was going on a trip), I forgot to swing the door all the way closed, leaving only the screen door between my cat and freedom. He was fine. My mom checked on him the next day and, much to her surprise, he emerged from under the deck after spending what must’ve been, for an indoor cat, a terrifying night outside.

Just about every time I have left the house since then, even if just for an hour, I have wondered: “did I close the door? Did I lock the door? Do the pets have food? Do they have water? Did I leave the oven on? Did I unconsciously light seven candles and place them precariously close to window curtains that are, unbeknownst to me, highly flammable?” Many times, I have gone back to check. Never have I left the stove on. Never have I found candles flickering. The pets have always been fine. Only once or twice have I found the door unlocked.

Still, I never regret it, because it’s nicer to know everything’s fine than it is to hope everything’s fine.

And that’s really what these Zmodo MeShare cameras are for: making sure. You can call them “security cameras,” but that feels a little overstated. Maybe it would be better to rebrand them as “check-in cameras.” After all, the chances that you’re going to tune in as your home is being burglarized–thus allowing you to call the authorities while the burglary is in progress–is very low. I mean, hell, the actual likeliness of your home being burglarized at all is very low. And if your first thought upon reading that is, Nuh-uh, my home gets broken into all the time, we won’t argue with you. But we will say: you probably need more than a couple Zmodos.

Otherwise, these are a good option for the second-guessers out there to quell all the concerns that might flare up during your day at work: whether you just want to make sure everything’s fine, or to check that you didn’t forget to close the windows, or to monitor whether your dog is feeling okay after eating something stupid that he wasn’t supposed to…

I mean, hypothetically-speaking, of course.
