Wireless Multi-Camera System Connects Users to Home Like Never Before

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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.”
