FREMONT, Calif., March 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart home technology innovator Tend is making it easier and more reliable than ever to secure what you love, by launching the new Lynx Pro smart security camera. Tend continues to provide worry-free monitoring, indoors and outdoors, for your home, business and other properties.

With its built-in battery backup and local storage, Lynx Pro provides uninterrupted monitoring and will store up to three days' worth of data in the event of a power or Internet outage. Once power or Internet returns, local data is uploaded to the cloud*.

The camera's intelligent facial recognition software lets users upload familiar faces to the free Tend Secure App, and control who Lynx Pro recognizes. From there you will receive check-in notifications for these known persons. This real-time recognition allows users to know exactly who is present on their property at any time.

"Lynx Pro is a trusted sentinel providing round-the-clock protection for the property and people you love," said Herman Yau, Tend co-founder and CEO. "With its quick and easy setup, uninterrupted monitoring, and free cloud recording, you can depend on Lynx Pro to give you the protection and peace of mind of knowing your belongings and loved ones are safe in any conditions."

Lynx Pro's IP65-rated weatherproof housing makes it long-lasting and durable in any outdoor environment, and its infrared night-vision monitors property in complete darkness. The onboard motion detector automatically triggers recording and can be configured to send an instant alert to users' mobile device for motion-triggered events.

The system includes seven days' worth of free data storage on Tend's cloud platform to backup and review videos for the previous week**. Access to the secure cloud storage is available from anywhere on any iOS or Android device through the free Tend Secure app.

Lynx Pro offers crystal clear HD video quality recording for outstanding clarity in every capture, as well as real-time live video streaming and manual recording from any mobile device using the Tend Secure app. Two-way audio allows users to communicate with loved ones, visitors, even pets, through the Tend Secure app.

The Lynx Pro is available to pre-order now for $119.99 through March 31, 2018 and will then return to the regular MSRP of $149.99. Tend to the things that matter most, and visit https://www.tendinsights.com/products/tend-secure-lynx-pro today.
