Home Tech Review - iZON

Home Tech Review

We are trying out the iZon Remote Room Monitor to see what our dog is doing when we are away. The set-up was fairly easy, it took me 2 tries to get it working on our wireless network. The Stem App is where the system fails, it crashes frequently. Connecting to the camera on 3G fails about 10-20% of the time. The biggest problem is that it stopped recording, I am still waiting on iZon tech support to get back to me. When it does work, it automatically uploads as a private youtube video. Resolution is only QVGA -320 x 240 which is fine for iphone viewing.

iZon Remote Room Monitor:  Not Recommended until the Stem App is fixed.

Update: The latest firmware has fixed the recording. There is a 30 20 second delay in the video which they say they are working to reduce. There is also a delay of what is recorded when you hit the record button. It's too late for me to return the item, speaking to them on the phone, iZon knows they have issues and they are working on them. It still can be a great product.

As far as the dog watching we have discovered some things. Our dog barks and cries (more like howls) off and on for 5-10 minutes but she spends most of the time waiting in front of the door to the garage.
