Keep an Eye on the Kids with the Samsung SmartCam HD Plus
Thank you to Samsung for providing a complimentary sample for review. All opinions are my own.
This goes without saying, but anyone with kids can tell you that keeping an eye on them is always at the top of your mind. Whether you have a baby sleeping in a crib for the first time or several kids playing in a playroom, the need to be connected to them is always there. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy. There is laundry to be done, dishes to wash, dinners to cook.
Thankfully we live in an age where it’s absolutely easy to be connected to our kids no matter where they are in the house, using technology that’s readily available in your own pocket. Samsung’s SmartCam HD Plus is one tool for doing just that.
The SmartCam is a camera for remotely monitoring children (or just homes and pets) from any location, using the Samsung SmartCam app on your phone to connect from any location.
This camera features a 130 degree ultra-wide angle lens, 1080p HD streaming, night vision capabilities up to 32 feet, and up to 128 GB of video storage for a comprehensive view of any area. Fancy and functional!
Take a look at the key features of the Samsung SmartCam HD Plus:
Advanced Motion Detection: this camera distinguishes between true motion and minor repetitive noises like swaying shades, falling leaves, and rain. If a loud incident occurs or someone enters the area, users are immediately notified.
1080p Full HD Live Video Streaming: streams directly to your computer at 1080p and to your mobile device at 720p. The large sensor allows maximum light and provides vivid colors, bright video, and strong detail.
Two-Way Talk: enables user to listen to any activity around the camera and also to talk back through the phone, regardless of location, via a built-in microphone. You can soothe your crying babies as soon as they wake up!
Motion Zone Select: you can monitor specific areas within the property and receive notifications about any activity in that locale. If you want to be alerted about any particular doorway, for example, you can draw a box around that spot and the camera will share alerts of movement in that specified zone.
Email and Mobile Notification: signficant motion or sound will trigger the camera to automatically send push and email notifications to your mobile device, at which point you’ll be able to monitor the occurence in real-time.
True Day and Night: securely monitors areas around the clock with an advanced IR Cut Filter that provides crisp video even in complete darkness.
Ultra-Wide Angle: covers more ground that ever with an expanded 130 degree wide angle, which gives a more detailed view of the area.
Local Video Storage: double the storage of its predecessor, this camera provides up to 128 GB of video through the microSD memory card. Users also have three recording options ranging from continuous recording to only recording when activity is detected.
What a camera! It really does have tons of great features, and I’m very impressed with the video quality. To learn more about the Samsung SmartCam HD Plus and other Samsung security options, visit Samsungsv.com.

This camera sounds like something every parent should have if they have babysitters or nannies.
My hubby would love this! It would be great to see what’s going on when we’re not home!
This could also be useful for watching the dogs when we’re not home.
Always amazing me how far technology has come! Wish we would have had this technology when my kids were younger. May have to invest for my pets, though!

I like the fact that there is Two-Way Talk that enables lets the user listen to any activity around the camera and also to talk back through the phone, regardless of location, via a built-in microphone.
We have something very VERY similar to this that we use in our baby’s nursery. Since it’s portable we also used it for home surveillance when we (and the baby) were out of town. These things are so cool and so handy! Our cell phones get a notification when there is movement in the baby’s room, so when I am in there with the baby, and my husband is at work, sometimes he’ll talk to us through the camera. She now waves at the camera all the time, it’s hilarious!

I would love to see what my dogs are up to when I am not here!
This is such a cool gadget.
I want one!
Ooh. that is so cool. I wish they had something nice like this for outdoor use. I am sick of people stealing things from my yard.
I could have used this a few yrs ago when my home was robbed. But I still would like to have it.
I like the night vision capabilities.
It’s great that it has night vision capabilities! Definitely seems like a good idea to have!
Love this!! Such a great parenting tool!!
(Keep an Eye on the Kids with the Samsung SmartCam HD Plus) I could sure use one of these camera’s here in our home, what a great thing to have.
