Check their website and you will see that they don't yet have a camera. Security is all about seeing what's going on inside the home in real-time online via a mobile or PC. Arlo and Nest cameras come with night vision and motion sensing and record a video for later viewing. They can be installed inside and outside and have 1080P HD quality and clarity.

Scout's camera better be able to do all the above and more and be cost competitive otherwise it won't attract customers. People don't want 1/2 a solution from one provider and 1/2 from another provider (people will want to keep the same branded product for all) and at the moment Scout doesn't present a complete solution.

According to Scout's December Quarter Update, the camera will have night vision (built-in infrared), high-definition 1080p video and two-way audio. I presume if it has verified video, meaning Scout's monitoring centre can verify an event to police through video footage - then the ability to record for later viewing will be a given. It is also an easy feature to add and probably hasn't been highlighted in the update for that very reason.

Considering Scout already offers a motion sensor for $62.72 (AUD), and Nest's camera's cost about $319 (AUD). If it costs less than $250 (AUD) I think it's a good addition.
