Piper.nv: An impressive night vision home security system

Home security is getting ever smarter, and Piper.nv (the more expensive night vision version of Piper) is an excellent example of this.

Companies such as Comcast and Vivint now offer basic home-automation systems for less than $500 installed. And Lowe's Iris, which is available for about $300 for a full system, is designed for self-installation.
