THE BEST HOME SECURITY SOLUTION
SENS8 OFFERS EVERYTHING YOU WOULD EXPECT IN A PREMIUM HOME SECURITY SYSTEM WITHOUT THE HIGH COST OR MONTHLY FEES
Everyone wants to keep their home safe, but most of us cannot afford the $1000s necessary to purchase and run a traditional home security system. And what's worse, other systems are plagued by false alarms caused by moving shadows, pets, or billowing curtains. For all these people, SENS8 is the answer.
SENS8 eliminates false alarms thanks to an algorithm that combines information from all six of its sensors. It combines all the features of other security systems into one elegant aluminum unibody design. And thanks to our direct API uploads to Google Drive and Dropbox, you'll never have to pay a monthly fee to access your 1080P HD night vision video recordings.

WHY WE'RE CROWDFUNDING
The concept for "SENS8" grew out of founder’s Yang Liu’s personal misfortune: his home was burglarized. He was frustrated by the uneven performance of existing home security devices, and by high monthly fees. As a Ph.D. carrying electrical engineer, he decided to develop his own device for personal use. Everyone he showed his evolving prototype to responded overwhelmingly positively. They were looking for a true smart home security device at the most affordable price as well.
Many cannot afford a home security system. That motivated our team to produce the best and most affordable smart home security device. Yang Liu was so determined to create this unique product that he sold his house to bootstrap the business for a year. Later on, our team raised angel funding to further chase our dream. Our mission is to bring the best and most affordable smart home security device within reach of every family worldwide. With your support, we can make that dream a reality. Crowdfunding is our best opportunity to accomplish our goals; we're counting on your support and feedback!
