Lately I’ve been a little worried that I might be out of a job soon. One of my favorite jobs too…..security! See my friends over at Vimtag have added some new cameras to their line of affordable home security and monitoring systems. Which essentially means there might not be as much of a need for my super barking skills! The horror!

But you know, I decided to let my pal Trooper share in my pain of being replaced in the security department too. So I sent my new Vimtag M1 Mini Cube Camera to his house for surveillance. I’m so nice like that.

This tiny camera can be mounted to a wall, ceiling, or simply set on a shelf. And even though it’s small, it can record a big area of a room with it’s wide angle lens!

Trooper and I thought we would be getting an “extra pair of eyes” at the farm….only to realize that the mini cube was intended to record us when we were left alone! Gulp. We better be on our best behavior I guess.

Because even when our parents aren’t home to keep an eye on us they can check what we are up to by watching from their smart phone devices with live streaming.

With all kinds of features like motion detection, night vision, two-way voice features, and more the mini cube packs a whole lot into a tiny little camera.

Next it was time to test out the Vimtag P1 Premium IP Wireless Network Camera. With a fancy name like that I decided we should install it at the shop to help me out with my guard dog duties (you know, should I be on break taking one of my daily naps).

This camera can pan and tilt, has motion triggered push notifications, and it even supports multiple users. You can quickly and easily change your camera’s passwords within the mobile app as well as creating guest passwords for other users so that you can keep all your recordings nice and secure.

Since I’m a pretty short fellow I thought it was best to install this camera up high so it could get a view of the things I couldn’t. Mom had no problem installing the mounting bracket that came with the camera to the wall.

With the camera attached, connected to wifi, and plugged into a power source (this camera does require a power cord to run, and doesn’t run on batteries) we were ready to roll!

Mom also decided to hook this camera up to the Vimtag Smart Cloud Box. This handy box connects to your wifi and is able to record and store your surveillance feeds from any of the Vimtag Cameras. With 1TB of space it can hold hours of video, and should your camera ever get stolen you can still access the Cloud Box remotely to download the footage. I love that now even when I’m not at the shop my Vimtag camera can keep an eye on everything!

Should mom ever want to check on what is going on in the shop she can quickly check in via the free Vimtag app on her mobile phone too.

The Vimtag cameras have always been super simple to set-up too (and if I didn’t have clumsy paws I’m sure I could do it myself!). But should you ever need help, their support team is always just a phone call away. Full disclosure, mom did have to call tech support for some issues she was having with this P1 camera after set-up, but their staff was super helpful and was able to help remedy the issue.

I can’t recommend the Vimtag camera systems enough though, they’re super great for all your video monitoring needs wether you want to check on your pets at home, or simply need an extra set of eyes for surveillance (which will give your dog a much needed break!).

You can snag the Vimtag Mini Cube, P1 Camera & Cloud Storage Box from Amazon at some great prices!

And now for the best part…

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Kidde. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets will love.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

As a dog, I’ve always taken home security very seriously. Parked on my perch, I spend my day defending my fortress from anything out of the ordinary. It’s an exhausting job, but apparently I’m the only one willing to do it!

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Until I was introduced to Kidde RemoteLync that is! The RemoteLync Monitor and the RemoteLync Camera pictured above are my new friends in making sure my home is safe and secure.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

The RemoteLync Monitor is a smart home device that will listen for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home and send an alert to your smart phone if a problem arises. (even I can’t do that!)

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

The RemoteLync Camera is a battery operated, cordless camera that alerts you via smartphone when motion is detected in your home.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Together with the free Kidde RemoteLync App, there really isn’t much left for me to do except…

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

…be a dog again! (AKA park myself on the couch and watch cartoons!)

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

See with the touch of a button mom and dad can arm and disarm my house via their phones so that the RemoteLync can start listening for any smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors that go off, and watch for any intruders that might enter my home. You can even set it to arm & disarm automatically when you come and go from your home via GPS.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Mom loves that she can even arm it when I’m left home alone, and feels safer knowing should there ever be a fire she’d be notified right away so I’m not in danger. The camera can even be set to ignore pet movements, so she’s only told if something out of the ordinary happens at home. (I guess I won’t be having any secret parties anytime soon).

Checkout these videos from Kidde on how the RemoteLync System works:

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Vimtag and does contain affiliate links. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

Now if you thought my every move was documented on this blog, I’m about to take it to a whole new level thanks to my new friends over at Vimtag!

Vimtag is the creator of a Wireless Video Monitoring System that you can use to spy on your dog!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

My new little companion here can connect to your ethernet or wifi network and records HD video of anything you would like.

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

And I bet you can guess what my mom decided to record with my Vimtag….me! I am the star of this show after all.

So after a simple 4 step setup (mom didn’t even finish reading all the directions before she had it up and running), my Vimtag was ready to record some video.

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

From the Vimtag online portal mom can monitor what I’m doing in the other room, as well as have access to a whole slew of other features!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

But the absolute best part (for your mom and dad at least) is that the Vimtag goes mobile with the FREE Vimtag App! From here your video monitoring is totally on the go, with access to a live view of your pet whenever you’re away from them.

From the app you can even tilt and pan the camera, listen in to exactly what you pet is doing, record picture snap shots and video (for viewing later) and even TALK TO YOUR PET!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

You can also set up motion alerts for the camera, so if your pet enters the room (or maybe jumps on the bed if they aren’t supposed to) you can get a notification on your phone. With the addition of a mini sd card you can even set it up to auto-record when the camera detects movement. I guess my days of being sneaky while mom and dad are gone are over!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

So a few weeks ago mom and dad set up the Vimtag camera in the bedroom (where I tend to nap a lot) on a night they were headed out of the house without me.

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

Then my parents headed off to a local football game (can you believe they didn’t take me!), but checked on me several times throughout the night with the Vimtag mobile app. Even though it had gotten dark at home, the camera has night vision so they were still able to see what I was up to crystal clear.

Here’s a fun little playback of some of the video mom and dad saved from that evening…

Being that this is the first time ever mom and dad got to see what I did when they were away from home they noticed that I was on high alert to every little sound. So next time they said they’ll leave a TV on for me so some of the outside noise is drowned out. And when I heard them talk to me through the camera for the first time, boy did I cry! I may be a tough dog, but I always miss my mom and dad when they’re away. (P.S. don’t worry, they were only 5 minutes from home when they decided to test out the voice feature)

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

My mom and dad thought the Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera was a great way to give them peace of mind while they were away from me, and with a cost of $99, it’s a great price for adding several to your home – to capture anything you can imagine! (Hopefully they didn’t catch me trying to sneak onto the dining table the other night!) They even work for a whole slew of other things like Nanny Cam, Business Monitoring, Security, Vacation Home Monitoring, and Senior Monitoring.

You can snag your own Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera from Amazon! They’d make an awesome Christms gift too!

And now for the best part…
