The Verdict
Convenient, useful and quite good quality when you compare them to video systems normally included with home alarm systems.

I tested the MAC200 and setup was quite easy – only one or two degrees harder than setting up a webcam. There are various ways to mount the device – on a stand, with a suction cup or screwed into a wall with a rack-type mount.

How it works
Like the Vue, which is battery-powered and wireless, or other security cameras which are AC-powered and wireless, the Brinno MAC200 avoids both battery-replacement hassles and wireless interference.! All you have to do is place two D Cell battery into the camera chamber and choose the either the Motion Activated mode or the fixed capture interval mode. Or even the Hybrid mode ( A+B). then you are ready to go for a unbelivable 14 months of batter life!!

Eye in the sky, in your home
There’s an included SD card inside the camera to save triggered events.
I tested an indoor version that was pointing out of a window looking over the front door – which is essentially the same task the outdoor version would accomplish. It allowed me to see who was at the door, or, if I wasn’t home, to get motion-activated alerts when something happened. Some neat use cases:
