Sentri units are available on Kickstarter now for $249, but pricing will increase by at least $100 once they make it to production. Kronosight
Kronosight, a startup composed of Asus, Acer, and HTC alums, launched a Kickstarter campaign on June 10 for Sentri, a DIY home security system with a distinct Apple vibe. Within 48 hours, Sentri had already exceeded its $200,000 funding goal -- so far, it has 706 backers and $236,968 in pledges. Contributions of $249 or more (the $199 contribution level has already sold out) earn backers one of the first manufactured Sentri units.
Sentri doesn't look like an IP camera competitor, but it has a lot of the same features as Piper, a highly rated all-in-one home security camera I reviewed in 2013 and Canary, another comprehensive DIY system that's available for preorder now and expected to ship in November 2014. The main difference between them lies in design execution.
Where Piper and Canary are controlled entirely on their related apps, Sentri adds a home screen interface where you can access details directly, like the current temperature, humidity, weather, light detection, and air quality. Each Sentri also has a built-in HD camera, motion detector, microphone, and speaker, along with night-vision capabilities.
Kronosight has plans to transform its Sentri units into hubs for third-party smart lights, locks, and thermostats, too. Right now, it lists Nest, Belkin WeMo, Philips Hue, and Lockitron as its partnered integrations. But since Sentri is supposed to be able to recognize any device with an open API/SDK via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, there's potential to add more over time.
Sentri has a height and width of 9.4 inches and a depth of 1.5 inches. Kronosight
Like Piper and Canary, Sentri is designed to be a straightforward do-it-yourself install. It's also supposedly equipped with a learning algorithm similar to the Nest Learning Thermostat and the Honeywell Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat. That means that it should be able to track your usage patterns and adapt accordingly, sending you alerts when something unexpected happens (e.g., a huge temperature swing or a motion trigger).
This smart-security-system-turned-home-automation-hub has a lot of potential, especially since Kronosight claims to already be in communication with OEMs for production. Early contributors who help fund the project are scheduled to receive their Sentri units by May 2015. And after the Kickstarter campaign ends, Sentri units are expected to retail for closer to $350.

Google has acquired personal home security camera company Dropcam for $555 million and intends to put it under the Nest brand, which it also acquired recently. Dropcam makes home security cameras that are simple to set up and can be accessed quickly and easily via an app or web browser. The company had previously raised about $50 million over five years to continue developing its product, and now that investment has paid off to the tune of more than half a billion dollars. In a blog post, Dropcam described itself and Nest as "kindred spirits" aiming to improve historically frustrating home management technology. Google, via the Nest blog, assured current users that nothing would change in the short term, although later on the brands, apps and things like privacy policies will merge. Dropcam concluded: "Our products and technologies are a natural fit and by joining up with nest we can fully realize our vision."

Google Buys Dropcam for $555 Million
CNET
Home automation company Nest Labs will acquire the video-monitoring startup Dropcam, which makes Web-connected home security cameras, in a deal worth $555 million in cash. The deal, signed Friday, has yet to close.
Nest will fold the company into its existing line of smart-home products, which currently includes the Protect smoke detector and Learning Thermostat. Dropcam's products will now be under Nest's privacy policy.
Despite that assurance, the deal is likely to prompt privacy concerns considering Google bought Nest in January for $3.2 billion. The deal, however, was sealed solely by Nest, the company said, and will be used to expand the Nest brand into home security and video monitoring.
Following its acquisition by Google, Nest has ballooned from 130 employees at the end of 2012 to more than 460 this year. Dropcam will relocate from its San Francisco office to Nest's Palo Alto, Calif., headquarters.
News of the acquisition was first reported Friday by Recode, as well as The Wall Street Journal.
Nest, founded in 2010, is the brainchild of former Apple executive Tony Fadell -- who headed up the company's iPod division -- and Apple colleague Matt Rogers. Hitting the market in 2011 with its thermostat and following in 2013 with the Protect smoke detector, Nest established itself early on as an industry favorite in the nascent smart-appliance market by bringing refreshing design and powerful software to once-immutable and ignored devices.
Nest has used the thermostat and smoke detector as the linchpins and starting points for its smart-home philosophy, which starts with hardware and aims to expand into a software platform layered over a web of connected home appliances.
Dropcam, which has thus far raised $47.8 million in venture capital funding, was founded in 2009 by Greg Duffy and Aamir Virani, who spun the company out of camera-software development that the two engineers had performed for Swedish technology company AXIS.
"The teams are very well aligned and we love the product," Rogers, Nest's acting vice president of engineering, told Recode. "We both think about the entire user experience from the unboxing on. We both care deeply about helping people stay connected with their homes when they're not there."

2,000,000 Burglaries are reported each year in the United States resulting in 4.6 billion dollars in damages.
Of those 2,000,000 burglaries 60% enter forcibly. 30% entered through an unlocked door, window or other opening.
Here is a sample of 2014's checklist:
1. Check all your locks each night. 2. Secure your garage. 3. Install motion lights 4. While on vacation stop your mail and newspaper. 5. Do you have a sliding door? Put a door jam in it. 6. Have someone to mow your lawn if you're away. 7. Make sure valuables are not visible from first floor windows. 8. Get to know your neighbors. Neighbors can be your biggest ally when you travel. 9. Install a home security system especially a home security sign. 90% of convicted burglars said they avoided homes with signs of an alarm system. 10. Add security stickers to windows and doors.
Remember most burglars spend less than 60 seconds gaining entry to the home. The more difficult you make it, the better your chances are they will move on.
