Piper All-in-one Home Security System Hits Amazon

Piper, the all-in-one home security, video monitoring and automation device can now be found in Amazon.com’s home automation store.  With the holidays creeping up on us, giving the gift of Piper has been made that much easier.

Fresh off of its win as one of the CTIA’s “Hot for the Holidays” award recipients in the connected home category, Piper enables users to seamlessly monitor, interact and secure what’s important in their lives from the convenience of their mobile device.  Piper’s creator, Russell Ure says that “Bringing Piper to Amazon.com will help us reach even more customers and is a strategic step in the expansion of Piper’s distribution in North America.  Since Piper’s conception, our end goal has been to accommodate shoppers by making Piper available wherever they prefer to buy, whether that be in the online marketplace or in traditional brick and mortar establishments.”
