It seems that the edition of this CES 2018 is having several protagonists. We knew that home automation and connected products would have a great presence at the technology fair that opens every new year. But what we could not expect is that all the companies with these products would add all at once Apple HomeKit protocol support.
The next to do it, after Belkin with its WeMo products, it's Netgear. This company, which already has several connected products in its private catalog, will now make its Arlo Baby Camera can be controlled from an iOS device; ie: both an iPhone and an iPad.
In short, the users of this connected baby camera will be able to be controlled from the iPhone using, for example, Siri, the popular Cupertino assistant. From then on, the user will be able to say: "Hey Siri, show me my baby". With that command, the camera will be able to send streaming videos with HD quality.
Remind you that this Arlo Baby Camera baby surveillance camera is available for a price of $279 on Amazon. In addition, it is a fairly customizable product. You can give it a more childlike look has different shells in the shape of animals so that the children are not scared. And, incidentally, it looks good in the decoration of the room.
Also, this surveillance camera is capable of recording at night through infrared; stores everything in the cloud for 7 days; can measure the air quality of the home or room in particular, in addition it has a speaker with which to play music so that the little ones fall asleep much faster.
HomeKit seems to be the standard to be achieved by all manufacturers. Know that iPhone is a flagship product and that every time it obtains more market share. So being present on Apple's mobile platform can make it scratch a wider market share.
