If you have always wanted to add some cameras around you home to see who was at the front door or keep an eye on your kids no matter what room they are in, two things probably held you back. One is how hard most video systems are to install and the other is how expensive the systems are.

Avaak has announced that the Vue Personal Video network is now shipping. The system is a kit that ships with a wireless video portal device and two battery-powered wireless cameras. The cameras have cool and easy mounts that are self adhesive and magnetic.

The cameras stick to the magnetic mounts and run off a battery that is good for one year. The video can be viewed from any browser over the Internet in real-time. The system starts at $299 with two cameras and additional cameras can be added for $99 each. The wireless cameras have a range of 300 feet.
