The editors liked
Night vision
Easy to install
Clean and intuitive control software
Easy setup
Multiple security modes
Integrated alarm system
Remotely controls Z-Wave-compatible home accessories
Excellent HD image detail. Pan
Tilt
And zoom functions. Sharp night vision. Integrates with Z-Wave devices. Two-way audio.
From setup to shutdown
Icontrol Networks' $269 or £230 Piper NV all-in-one security device was an absolute delight to use
Night vision sees through the darkness
Upgraded camera produces slightly better video quality
Comprehensive control using the app
No monthly charges or subscriptions for the service
The editors didn't like
App is iOS or Android only (no Mac or PC control)
Inconsistent video quality
Unreliable connectivity
Pricey compared to similar cameras
Can't tilt or rotate the camera
No Web-based control panel
App sometimes has trouble connecting to the camera
No Web app. Can't download recorded video. No local storage
You'll spend more upfront than some other standalone security options. It doesn't have an IFTTT channel or offer partnerships with third-party brands beyond its basic Z-Wave integrations
Basically the same set of features from before
There's no way to download recorded footage
Tough call on paying for the $80 difference vs the Piper classic

Versatile camera system with wideangle view, zoom and different quality options, App is easy to use, set up and manage, Stay, Away and Vacation modes let you set rules for different scenarios, Controls can be customised and tweaked to your specific settin
No thirdparty hardware support, While worth the money, it is not cheap, Videos can only be viewed through the app and cannot be downloaded.
The Piper nv is a very versatile piece of kit for those that want a comprehensive security solution for their home or small business. As well as providing a solid remotely viewable camera system, it offers a number of rules that are automatically adhered...
Highly customisable, Works well as a security device, Slick app
Flaky networking, Iffy smart home integration, Average video quality
Rating the Piper nv is no easy task. As a security cam - its main purpose - it generally did a very good job, sitting quietly in the kitchen and sending me alerts when my cat was being beaten up. Its app is well made and after some initial setup problems...
The big question is ‘is the Piper nv worth the money?' and in a word, yes, it is. The first generation Piper classic was a good entry into the home automation/home security industry, but it was lacking in several areas, mainly with regards to the camera c...
But to fully do this you need some expertise in Z-Wave, some networking expertise to extend your WiFi network around your property and a fair bit of cash to spend on Piper units and additional accessories. For me I would want half a dozen cameras covering...

Facile da installare, molteplici modalità di sicurezza, sistema d'allarme integrato, possibilità di controllare in remoto gli accessori Z-Wave compatibili, visione notturna,
Costosa rispetto alle soluzioni della concorrenza, non si può ruotare o inclinare quando è agganciata al supporto, non c'è il pannello di controllo Web, l'applicazione ha qualche problema occasionale nel collegamento alla telecamera,
Se non vi spaventa spendere una cifra superiore rispetto alle soluzioni della concorrenza, la Piper nv è una buona telecamera di sorveglianza con allarme integrato e funzioni per l'automatizzazione domestica...
