Getting the Complete View with Guardzilla

DIY security camera maker Guardzilla introduced a new indoor camera that gives you a complete view of your home.

  • Oct 24, 2017

Wanting to avoid blind spots in your home security system? Guardzilla is here to help.

The DIY security camera maker has introduced their newest indoor camera that allows you to receive a complete view of what is happening in your home.

The Guardzilla 360 captures a continuous panoramic live video feed thanks to its 360-degree camera. That's pretty unique as far as DIY security cams go. The Guardzilla app gives you free rein to pan around an entire room in real time to see what's going on in day or night mode.

The Guardzilla 360, which retails for $230, is an all-in-one home security system. The 360 has all of the basics you'd expect from a standalone security device with its panoramic video, a motion sensor, free clip-based video storage, a 100-decibel siren, remote arming and disarming and geofencing capabilities. 

Included in the camera is improved "full-duplex" two-way talk thanks to an integrated microphone and speaker. Basically, "full-duplex" allows both sides to talk at the same time rather than having to wait for the other person to finish speaking before you can be heard.

The camera is integrated with Amazon and Google voice control speakers as well as Nest, IFTTT and Samsung's SmartThings.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
