True Love....

This is what my husband brought home for me the other night.  It is the iVision Wireless 2-way intercom system. 

Now, the back story:  I probably have never mentioned the fact that one of my husband's jobs is to install security and fire alarm systems  (he's also a part-time paid firefighter).  We do have a working alarm system in our house (that only took 4 years).

For a couple of years now, I've been begging nagging my husband to get me some sort of video camera for our front door.  It's kind-of ridiculous because we live in such a tiny house.  However, we do have a solid front door and there is only one window near the door...where any doorbell ringers would promptly see me if I looked out at them.  I do not like opening the door to people that I do not know.  Most recently, it was some guy trying to sell me AT&T U-verse, since they just installed it in the neighborhood.

Occasionally, I also have to go pick up equipment for my husband, if I happen to be off of work.  I also made sure that the guys at the supply store knew that I wanted a camera for the front door.  Maybe a month ago, my DH came home and told me that they had gotten a wireless camera/bell in at the store.  They wanted to test it out before they sold us one.

Fast forward a month (and I had forgotten about this...) and my husband tells me that he got me a surprise.  I had no idea what he might have gotten...I figured maybe a Twix bar or something...  Instead, he got me this camera doorbell!

The gray part has a tiny little camera and when you push the button, it feeds your image to the white handheld piece.  There is also a 2-way intercom.  If you want to wire the camera/bell portion to your doorbell power supply, then there is also a browse feature...so you can look out at the world at your own initiation. 

I am giddy like a small child because of this gift!
