Nice little CCTV device anyone ever used a Digital House Sitter?

I saw this on an offer thought it was quite a cute device. Anyone any experience of these? Is it just a novelty product that will break in a few months? PS mods I guess its not a CCTV device per say more a camera type thing. I cant see a website for the actual product itself though!

A bit of a delayed response to this but hope someone can help. i bought this product just as gruupy went bust. Tried a few times to contact gruupy, but got fobbed off with bad advice/links. The last mail was an email link to a website that doesnt actually have the product??

anyway, it arrived and came in a white box with no instructions. I googled a bit but found nothing useful....anyway, i put it away for a bit out of annoyance...and now im determined to set it up. The box is white. there are no instructions and no labels. I dont know who makes it. it came with a smoke detector, and TBH, Im not entirely sure which parts go with which device.(there are four sensors and two remote controls) There is no USB cable, so i used a camera cable....windows just tells me its an unrecognisable device.....there is a reset button / a slide button and a set button....the set button makes a beeping noise....but nothing happens.. there is nothing on the display...nothing happens when i connect the usb.......ANY ADVICE ANYONE??:mad:

More than likely you need a driver for it to work with windows. Any pictures of the gear?

did some digging around and think i found it. its called Minder by CNM.

There is a link to a photo of it on Donedeal (perhaps someone is selling it for the same reason)

Just mailed CnM secure - they dont have the product on their website, but maybe I'll be in luck and they'll send me a link to a driver or an instruction booklet.

thanks anyway.

Hopefully they will get you sorted so..

Not really that important, but I finally got the CCTV working thanks to the customer services at CnM.
Its a really cool gadget!!! If anyone needs advice on how to set it up, drop me a PM. Without instructions, it's impossible.
