SEPTEMBER RECAP

By now, you’ve probably heard about a very exciting product launch: our Indoor + Outdoor Cam. After months of sneak peeks and teasing, we finally launched our new security camera for pre-sale this month — however, with the pre-sale only lasting as long as we have cameras, it’s almost over!

BUT, exclusively for our monthly recap readers, we’ve extended the pre-sale so that you can order your Indoor + Outdoor Cam with one of our updated premium protect plans. Packed with intelligent features yet no bigger than a Rubik’s cube, this device is wired and weatherproof to keep you covered indoors or out. Also boasting 1080p resolution and recorded video, Live Streaming, Color Night Vision, a Built-in Siren, and so much more.

Special Pre-Sale Offer

During this pre-sale period, we’ve got a few exciting bundle kits to get you started. These include our new and improved Cam Protect and Complete Protect plans, which are designed to help you maximize your Indoor + Outdoor Security Cam features while adding theft and damage reimbursement. Meanwhile, the solo cameras go live during our official launch on October 16.

The Indoor + Outdoor Cam: a compact (but not complex) device packed with intelligent features.

PLAN UPDATES

Complete Protect vs Kangaroo Complete

Kangaroo Complete is the current name for our comprehensive security service that includes Professional Monitoring and $1000 of theft & damage coverage.

Come October, that plan is becoming Complete Protect and it will continue to include the same core benefits PLUS it will now add all the premium features of our new Indoor + Outdoor Cam (including Person Detection, Two-Way Talk, Motion Detection Zones, 30-Day Cloud Storage, and more). This all at the same price of $99 ($8.25/month).

With Complete Protect you can add up to 3 cameras to the plan. Additional cameras can get all premium features plus an additional $250 of coverage through our Cam Protect plan at $23.88/year ($1.99/month) or can be kept on our free Basic plan.

Cam Protect vs Porch Protection Plan

Porch Protection Plan is the current name for our comprehensive security service that includes package theft reimbursement for when pesky porch pirates strike.

Come October, that plan is becoming Cam Protect and it will include $250 of theft and damage reimbursement for inside and outside your home, anywhere your Kangaroo cameras are monitoring. PLUS, Cam Protect will now allow access to all the premium features of our new Indoor + Outdoor Cam (including Two-Way Talk, Motion Detection Zones, 30-Day Cloud Storage, and more). This all at the same price of $23.88 ($1.99/month).

With Cam Protect, you’ll be able to customize your coverage with an affordable per-camera per-plan setup. Additional cameras can get their own Cam Protect plan or can be kept on our free Basic plan. If you’re looking for premium features and coverage, our Complete Plan can house up to 3 cameras on one plan. If you already have a Porch Protection Plan or Kangaroo Complete, when you add Cam Protect, it will run in parallel with your previous plan, separately.

SEE THE CLAIMS MADE THIS MONTH

Our kits and cameras do the detecting, but our plans provide total protection. All include coverage for theft, damage, and increasingly ... porch pirates. Plus, porch pirate season is quickly approaching. Holiday deliveries landing on porches across the country will be prime for the taking, but our protect plans are what help you get the payback you deserve when porch pirates strike. This month, our users filed claims for everything — from a Marilyn Monroe bathroom set to an Oculus game console!

This is how it goes: when you have something stolen from your porch, just file a claim in the Kangaroo app and we’ll reimburse you (we’ve currently honored 95% of the claims). Takes less than 5 minutes!

This month’s most commonly stolen goods were home and fitness items, including a robot vacuum, squat machine, washer, and mirror. And the average cost of damage and stolen goods was $306!

Meanwhile, others may see smart homes as an unnecessary gimmick altogether. We debunk some common misconceptions about this trend, and why you don’t have to fear smart home technology.
