Comcast Teams With Universal Subsidiary on Grinch-Themed Security Camera Promo

Comcast announced Thursday security camera features to thwart porch piracy of holiday packages. Customers can filter motion-triggered activity by people or vehicles. Customers who buy the $199 Xfinity indoor/outdoor camera and add 24/7 video recording ($9.95 per month) have up to 10 days to view video history, Comcast said. With the company's Universal Pictures’ The Grinch, Comcast engineers added “Easter egg” voice commands allowing subscribers to access still images from their security camera on TV or turn smart lights green. The Grinch character in an Xfinity ad attempts to steal packages from an Infinity Home household but is caught on camera after setting off window sensors.
