LifeShield adds an HD video doorbell to its array of gadgets

LifeShield has been a heavy-hitter in the smart home security industry for a while and now it’s adding a pretty robust video doorbell to its offerings, augmenting the brand’s flexible “Build Your Own Set” package that allows consumers to tailor their security systems to their smart home platform.
Specifically, the company has developed and produced its own smart home HD video doorbell, dubbed the LifeShield HD Video Doorbell, which can seamlessly integrate into the company’s customers’ home security systems.
“A brazen 34% of burglars enter through the front door, and online shopping has made the front porch thieves’ new favorite place to shop,” John Owens, president of DIY at ADT (Home company of LifeShield products), said in a statement. “The addition of the LifeShield HD Video Doorbell to our existing lineup makes LifeShield one of the most complete DIY home security systems on the market today.”
Naturally, the new video doorbell meshes seamlessly with the LifeShield home security system, giving owners a new capacity to record, store and watch live and on-demand video.
The features of LifeShield’s new device include two-way audio support, so you can you either tell your burglar to bug off or warn the boyfriend that hell is coming, as well as people detection technology — it’s the mailman, not a killer squirrel — and naturally, live notifications and video previews of live events on the LifeShield mobile app.
The new device was previewed at CES, where the folks at LifeShield were aware of the recent rash of thefts from front porches, noting that a recent reportestimated that 26 million Americans have had packages stolen from their homes during the holiday season.
“With the shift toward online shopping behavior, package delivery has spawned a new crop of porch pirates and stoop surfers in the U.S. As a result, we know homeowners, more than ever, are seeking better visibility to protect what’s happening both inside and outside their homes,” Owens said. “Our new video doorbell adds to our vision to make LifeShield smart home security truly an end-to-end solution for security-savvy homeowners.”
And hey, for once, it’s up for sale already instead of just being a vaporware tease. Existing customers can buy the new LifeShield HD Video Doorbell for $200 but newcomers will have to buy a bundled system for $346 on the company’s website.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
