For the past few months we’ve had the added protection of the Panasonic HomeHawk Home Monitoring Camera. We’ve become very familiar with the HomeHawk’s features since we installed it at our front doors and have nothing but great things to share about it.
We’re seeing more and more news reports of people stealing packages right off front porches. Some people actually follow delivery trucks specifically to do so. With the holidays coming, the added home protection of HomeHawk is a great system to have.
We also like knowing who’s at our front door before we open it. It’s a concern we have, along with so many other people. Better safe than sorry!

We’ve been testing (and loving) our new Panasonic HomeHawk camera since late July. It has a sleek design that doesn’t take away from the esthetics of the front doors. This is especially important to us since we decorate for the various holidays during the year.
Some of the great features of the Panasonic HomeHawk Front Door Home Monitoring Camera include:
- No Monthly Fees:
After the initial cost of the HomeHawk camera there aren’t any fees. You do all the monitoring yourself.
- Wireless and Easy to Install:
Self installation took us no more than an hour. That included the time it took to read the instruction booklet! Because it’s completely wireless, you simply mount as desired and download the app to your smartphone for monitoring.
- No Batteries Required:
Not only is the HomeHawk wireless, but there’s also no need to change batteries. The built-in power source charges by USB and the power level can monitored on your smart phone app. We’ve found that the charge holds for varying amounts of time between charges. The manual states the charge should last for up to 3 months. From our experience it usually needs charging prior to that timeframe. When charging is required it generally takes up to 7 hours to achieve.
- Live Mobile Viewing:
Whenever there’s any movement at the location of your HomeHawk you receive notification on your smart phone. You’re able to watch live while it records on it’s own. One day we were on our way home when our handyman arrived early at our home. We were able to talk with him and let him know we were just a few minutes away.
- Wide-Angle View:
We’re able to view our entire front porch with the camera.
- HD Recording:
The live viewing and recordings are crisp and clear.
- 2-Way Talking:
We’re able to hear what’s going on while watching live or a recording. We’re also able to speak with whomever’s at the front door. We’re able to communicate through the microphone whether interested in answering the door or not.
- Color Night Vision:
The HomeHawk has full color night vision which allows us to see details without any added light.
And these are just some of the HomeHawk’s remarkable features!
The Panasonic HomeHawk Smart Phone App is effortless to use. It makes it easy to quickly view on your smart device what’s happening at the front door.
With the Live Mobile Viewing feature shown above, it’s easy to see and hear what’s going on within sight and ear-shot of the HomeHawk.
When deliveries are made while we’re home or away, we get notifications and can see where the delivery person places the package. The HomeHawk saves us time in finding where a delivery person may have placed a package. (Shown above left)
The HomeHawk also alerts us when a someone is at the door. With the two-way talking feature we’re able to communicate or not. And there’s no way for them to know if we’re home or out and about. (Shown above right)
Every time the HomeHawk is activated with movement, it completes a video for whatever time duration you choose. Ours is set to record for up to 60 seconds. Keep the recordings or delete them; your choice. The time of activity is shown and the duration of each activaiton. (List of recording show above)
The Panasonic HomeHawk Home Monitoring Camera is available on Amazon, with several different models and packages available to choose from. We’re planning to installing additional cameras in other locations around our home which we can link to the system.
David says: It’s an added home security measure that we’re so glad we have. And installation could not have been easier. Being able to monitor any front door activity via our smart phones makes us feel that much safer.
Cathi says: I love the Panasonic HomeHawk Monitoring Camera! I can see live time who is at my door. No need to open the door for strangers but I run to the door for grandkids!
