Clearly the Piper iControl system is not designed to draw you in with its packaging. But that is a good thing. In the age of internet buying, we do not really need fancy boxes, we want reduced pricing, which basic packaging can help achieve. Beyond a basic line drawing of the camera itself, there is little to suggest what is inside this box.
Inside it, you find the camera hub itself, a short set up guide sheet, warranty information and a “protected by Piper” sticker. The question? is Piper a well-known enough company that that sticker would deter would be criminals? If you are a burglar or home invader, let us know in the comments below whether Piper makes you wary.
The Piper camera is not all that we were sent. Along with it we also have another set of equally nondescript boxes.
These contain two smart plugs, to enable automated or remote control of the switch, and a window security sensor, which can set off an alarm if it is tripped by an intruder.
