Avaak,
the leader in easy-to-use, wire-free personal video networking
technology, today announced its award-winning Vue™
personal video network is now available for purchase at Costco.com.
The user-friendly Vue system consists of small, battery-powered wireless
cameras which stream real-time video directly to the Internet or via the
VueZone for iPhone application.
Since its launch, the Vue has received rave reviews from media and
technology enthusiasts alike for its worry-free set up and wireless
video streaming capabilities. Free from complicated software or power
cords, users simply plug the gateway into their router and position the
miniature Vue cameras via magnetic mountings anywhere inside the home or
office. To view live video, consumers simply log into their personal,
password-protected VueZone account—where real-time video streams can be
recorded or shared with family and friends.
“We’re thrilled to expand our online retail offerings through this
strategic agreement with Costco.com,” said Gioia Messinger, Founder and
CEO of Avaak. “Because convenience and simplicity for our users have
always been top-of-mind in the development of the Vue, it’s a natural
progression to now have increasingly more options for online shoppers
seeking a way to affordably monitor and connect with family, friends or
pets while on the go.”
