Outdoor luxe – for the long haul
In the past few years, the perspectives of consumers, manufacturers and retailers alike have changed in response to an increasingly unstable market. Money is now being spent differently and on different things. There is a demand for longevity and timelessness within the home, largely including the outdoor room. People are investing both time and money into their home because there is an understanding that they may be there for quite some time.
Many are choosing to staycation instead of vacation and need an outdoor sanctuary to relax and get away from it all. Others are spending more time with family and friends, simply enjoying the constant things in this world, and need a stylish space to wow 
their guests and indulge in their free time. Some simply want to add increased value to their home. Whatever the inspiration, there is a large increase in the necessity of luxurious and well-designed outdoor spaces. It may continue to be an uncertain and crazy world out there, but on the home front, it's all about luxurious comfort and the building of a strong and fashionable foundation.
The strength of all things relies on a durable and dependable foundation, and outdoor design should be no different. With this thought in mind, high-end cast aluminum and wrought iron furniture is growing largely in popularity. Both materials offer resilience and a solid strength that is unparalleled. Consumers understand the benefits of solid beginnings as a foundation to their outdoor investments. 
GUILT-FREE INDULGENCE
Outdoor furniture fabricated from sturdy materials is not just about the function. Manufacturers are catching on to the growing trend of luxury and are responding in intricate ways. Because of this, outdoor furniture has begun to hold a more artisan, handcrafted look, with each piece providing a one of a kind style and appearance.
There is a beautiful relationship between manufacturer and consumer; it is one of a shared appreciation for the handcrafted and luxuriously rich styles that create a one of a kind space. Consumers are willing to invest in this high-end product because of the performance. Buyers are at ease knowing that the product will last for years, increase the backyard "curb appeal" value of their homes, create an at home destination for friends and family and - despite the elements it may face in an outdoor environment - they are inspired to invest because of the endless style and comfort. 
FEATHERING THE NEST
This concept of durability and the longer lifetime of a product now extend largely in the outdoor textile market as well. Fabric manufacturers have always understood that outdoor fabrics must be resilient to not only the normal wear and tear, but also the natural elements that such products are exposed to on a daily basis. The effectiveness of this protection is constantly growing and being made better for the end user.
With a growing interest in outdoor design, people understand that a design style should extend from the indoors to the outdoors. With the fabric industry the way it is, the lines between how to do this are being further blurred. Consumers are increasingly utilizing the outdoor fabrics for their indoor spaces. It is because of the fashion forward styles and luxuriously comfortable options available that make this possible. Color options are consistently increasing, while patterns and textural weaves provide an endless assortment of comfort and elegance.
Much like the interiors of your homes, the outdoor room requires small finishing touches and accessories in order to make it as welcoming and comfortable as possible. With such trends on the rise, many unique accessories provide durable and weather resistant components. From rugs to lamps, art, entertainment and sound systems and simple touches, numerous possibilities allow the consumer to create an incredibly well designed space that demands attention and use.
This is largely where the lines between indoor and outdoor design are blurred. Outdoor textiles make it possible to incorporate what was once considered to be strictly indoor elements. These elements include throw blankets, pillows and draperies. Such small touches can truly make a difference in the appearance and presentation of a space. The more individualized the space, the more likely it is that it will be used. In order to make a truly comprehensive design that interacts with all elements of the home, it is important to invest in the styling and personality of the outdoor space.

The is my second set in this group of stucriey products. I've added on a few components and learned how to deal with more of the system's features and quirks. As far as home stucriey camera systems go, this is a very nice value. While I haven't had any issues with the components I have purchased, the previous incarnation did have some warts that have hopefully been addressed with this update. This unit includes the Wilife management software, one indoor camera, suction cup mount, bar mount, table stand and power and USB connectors. I like the product, although there are some reservations. You have to know your needs very well in order to know if this is right for you. The design of the indoor cameras is very unique though somewhat blocky. The outdoor cameras are more traditionally shaped. In any event, they all seem to work well once set up. PROS: + Updated hardware and software should improve reliability and ease of use + Nice power over Ethernet design means no batteries needed + Nice price for a fully functioning starter system + Improved cell phone and email alert features + Very easy to add cameras to the system + Nice available accessories to add on to your installation + Nice interface for management software with many customizable settings + Default settings will meet the needs of novice users without adjustments + System is motion activated, saving storage space + Video recordings are easily backed, copied, or erased + Video can be accessed via live feed over the internet + Firmware updates are readily available, with caveats CONS: - Installation can be somewhat time-consuming - Despite what they tell you, DO NOT ENABLE AUTOMATIC FIRMWARE UPDATES!!! Do them manually - Some features require a premium subscription at an additional cost - The starter set should have included at least one more camera - Lack of audio will disappoint more demanding users - Latency on website video access - Software interface requires some getting used to CONSIDERATIONS 1. Your camera must be close to an outlet to connect it via the included 10 foot cable. 2. You have to manually adjust the camera focus, so adjust it before mounting. 3. Your computer must meet the hardware and software requirements. 4. Your computer must be on all the time for video recording. 5. You will need a broadband connection to access this video remotely. 6. This power-line connection will work better with newer wiring. 7. It's best to set up extra hard drive space for at least 10 GB of videos. 8. The computer recording video needs to be a PC. A Mac running Windows in a virtual machine software might work. INSTALLATION Physically installing the cameras is straightforward. The receiver and the camera must be attached through power outlet via receiver plugs. The system connects to your computer over the power interface via the USB port. The software installation still requires some patience and hardware knowledge. Computers running Windows Vista, Antivirus software and software firewalls will need those stucriey settings disabled to get the Wilife software to install. Still, it's well worth it to have this system installed on a secure computer. You can re-enable all that stuff when you are done, making sure to allow for your firewall to permit the Wilife software to access the internet. Installing on XP may be slightly easier, but you will still have to deal with disabling your Antivirus or desktop firewall if you are running those. You should want the computer that's storing your home stucriey video files to be secure. Taking the extra time to have AV and a firewall working is worth the effort. Windows Vista requires a few reboots before the software installs and sees the cameras. On my first installation of the product I experienced some initial hanging, but I had better luck the second time I set up the starter kit in a different location. So the software has been improved, but it is still beneficial to be comfortable with computers. Setup can take about an hour or two depending on how you place your cameras and the speed of your computer. If you have issues, contacting support should be relatively painless, though I have not had to call them with the two systems I have set up. SETTINGS AND EXPANSION The system has options for adding on hardware in terms of more cameras and software in terms of premium features. If you want multiple cameras, you will have to buy those
