Dropcam – Cloud-based Internet Video Monitoring Service

This post brought to you by Dropcam. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you worried about security of your house and want to add more surveillance options inside 24/7? Do you have a baby and want to make sure he/she is being taken good care of when you are not at home? Are you wondering what your pets do at home when you are not around?

Dropcam is a good solution that allows you to set up a camera in your house and see what’s happening inside your house anytime via iOS, Android and web apps. The cloud-based Wifi video monitoring service allows you to schedule when to turn the camera on/off at specific times of day, or weeks. It can even turn the camera on or off  based on your location. For example, you can set it up to turn on when you are at work and turn off when you come home. Therefore, you can be confident that your home is safer with this home monitor and home security service. Check out the video below to understand more about the service.

The service comes with free live streaming, two-way talk and remote viewing. Therefore, you can use it in place of a home security system because Dropcam is easier to set up and you are always connected to your house, family, and pets, even when you are traveling abroad.

There are some cool features that I’m impressed with as well. You can have the option for Cloud Recording (CVR) to save videos continuously on the cloud, so you can easily watch the footage in the past. From there, you can easily share the clip with your friends and family members. Some other prominent features are two-way talk with Dropcam, 8x Zoom and night-vision.

There is a beta feature that I find very interesting, that is activity recognition. Dropcam can learn typical motion patterns in your house and send you corresponding alerts. Therefore, you can set up the app to receive alerts when your kids come home, when someone opens the fridge or when pets pass through.

I really love the potential of Dropcam. I can set up cameras in every room of my house and feel safer when I’m not around. So, are you interested in this service and will you puchase one for your own home?
