The Hydra Control Freak is an advanced security system which when linked to PIR sensors and suitable IP cameras can inform you by SMS or email when a PIR is triggered. You can then use a smartphone to monitor the video captured by the camera at the point that the PIR was activated. Besides informing you the Hydra Control Freak can be used to control X10 devices, so that on activation a series of events, such as switching on lights, sirens etc., can be put in motion.

Product Reviews

  1. this product is really good

    Posted by Frank [email protected] on 2nd Oct 2012

    I've been testing the Hydra Control Freak now for two months and it's starting to work really well. In the beginning I had some problems with the cameras that were running wirelessly but we moved to using wired IP cameras running over powerline ethernet (To eliminate laying wires) and the problems disappeared. Several other interested people have now been checking out my setup.

    A must for people that want to know activity happens around your house. A definate result..


  2. Works really well

    Posted by Bart on 17th Jan 2012

    After a breaking and a second attempt I bought this plug and hooked it up with some sensors from CST EUROPA and an IP camera. When somebody is at the door I get an SMS alert with a link to the video that is recorded by triggering the sensors. I also got it to trigger a doorbell that rings when somebody is at the door after five.
