Ho Ho Ho! Catch Santa in the Act!

Christmas time conjures up images of a fat and jolly man in a red suit sliding down chimneys to deliver presents to good little boys and girls. If you’re reading this, then you’re most probably old enough to know that dear ol’ Santa Claus [spoiler alert] is not real. Shocked? Maybe not, but for the sake of argument (and the sake of those who have just been devastated by the news), let’ say that jolly ol’ Saint Nick is real. How can you catch him in the act?

Keeping an Eye on Your Home for the Holidays

 In this day and age where CCTV cameras and other home surveillance gadgets are easily accessible, finding out who’s sneaking in, out, and around your house is a breeze. Here are a few easy to use gadgets and cameras you can use to catch a glimpse of what’s happening while visions of sugarplums dance in your heads as you sleep.

·         IP Home Cams – These handy plug-and-play cameras are great for indoor use. Chances are, you won’t capture Santa Claus binging on the milk and cookies you’ve laid out for him, but you can spot intruders as they fumble around your home. The IPS-EYE01W, 02W, 03W, and 04W model cameras can be controlled remotely over WIFI or IP using a computer, tablet or smartphone, so you can check on your house when you and your family are out for the Christmas holidays. These cameras also support two-way audio, so you can tell your kids to go back to bed if you catch them sneaking out of their rooms to take a peek at their presents before Christmas morning.

·         Listening and Tracking Devices – For die-hard North Pole believers, another way to prove that Santa really does exist is by installing listening devices such as the superbug in your home. This voice activated tracking and listening device allow you to monitor conversations going on in your home. For the complete home surveillance experience, the Tornado Bug is an all-in-one solution for all your home security needs. This compact surveillance device not only captures and records audio; it can also capture photos and videos which you can save on a MicroSD card. These gadgets run on a GSM network and can be controlled via SMS. They also serve as tracking devices just in case the Grinch decides to sneak into your home and steal Christmas. Just place them together with your valuables and you can connect to the device using your mobile phone and get the GPS location of the bug, along with your most prized possessions.

Kidding aside, protecting your home from intruders during the holiday season is a must. With so many people going away for the holidays, burglars and other criminal elements just can’t help themselves. Don’t let incidents like these ruin Christmas. By installing CCTV cameras and listening devices in your home, you can sleep better at night knowing that your family and belongings are protected. Hey, you may just catch Santa Claus sliding down the chimney after all.
