SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/07/14 — Do you know what–s happening at home? What if you could keep a close eye on things — even when you–re away? Picture it: You–re out to dinner, and you–ve entrusted your teenage son to look after the house while you enjoy a relaxing evening out. The new by is a video monitoring camera with first-of-its-kind patent pending hybrid technology that connects you to the people you love — from anywhere. Using your smartphone or tablet, you can check in on your son at home in real time — in full, interactive HD — and gain peace of mind. Now available for , link-U is different from other on the market. It intuitively — and automatically — uses either LAN (home network) or 3G/4G connections for easy, 24/7 access without complicated setup and configuration.
Your kids. Your pets. Your elderly parents. Your valuable belongings. When it comes to who and what you really care about link-U ensures that you will never be left in the dark. An easy-to-set-up and maintain smart cam, link-U gives you ultimate flexibility. Internet down? link-U automatically switches to 3G/4G to keep you connected. Want to take your link-U camera where your LAN does not go — the patio, the park or grandma–s house? With link-U you can go anywhere — and the 3G/4G connectivity keeps the video rolling when you need it. Hybrid also means that link-U comes with two sources of power: standard Power over Ethernet and a backup 8-hour battery.
According to Founder Andy Benatti, the hybrid nature of link-U is what makes it so unique: “I–m always traveling for business — so much so that I have more flight hours than some airline pilots. I also have a family, and my travels left me longing for a way to feel closer to my wife, children and elderly mother. I purchased several webcams to connect at home, but router configurations, DDNS problems and invasive firewalls proved to be problematic. link-U was born out of frustration with existing options — with the hybrid nature of link-U solving connectivity issues. It–s also simple to install and configure. Now, I can keep an eye on everyone at home, and my wife feels safer when she is home alone with the kids.”
With link-U, there is no need to worry about routers, firewalls or dynamic IP addresses when trying to connect. link-U–s 3G/4G and LAN connectivity options work together in harmony to ensure that you get HD video streamed to your phone quickly — no matter where you are — or where your link-U is.
link-U can alert you to events in real time, or you can review recorded events that have been stored in an internal SD memory card.
For more information, link-U is now available for pre-order on Indiegogo, starting at $99.00 for early backers.
With a mission to make people closer to what they really care about, San Jose-based Link-Union builds devices that use the latest technologies to keep people connected — no matter where they are. To learn more, visit or follow link-U on , and .
