dropcam internet video monitor

I just installed the dropcam internet video monitor. I got it as a demo unit.

This is a great solution to monitor your home if you are going to be away. Hurricane baring down on your area? Install a dropcam internet video monitor and keep tabs on your home via a web page or iPhone or Android device.

Dropcam Features

The dropcam is an internet video monitor that is easy to install. For something that has to hook up via WiFi, the installation was seamless.

After following the web based instructions, my dropcam was running on WiFi and I could place it anywhere. The video quality is great.



The BASIC features are always free:

- live viewing on your laptop, iPhone, or Android device
- motion and audio alerts sent to your email
- motion and audio notification sent to your iPhone or iPod Touch

You can upgrade to PLUS for $8.95 per month:

- offsite storage so your video stays safe
- 7 days of DVR recording so you don't miss a thing

PRO increases the DVR storage:

- 30 days of DVR recording so you don't miss a thing

Privacy
You can keep your dropcam video feed private, choose to share a link with family and friends, or make your dropcam public and optionally embed it on a webpage.

Take a look at some Public Dropcams.

Where to Buy
You can buy the dropcam online. The audio enabled dropcam costs $279 and the video only version is $199.

I'll be talking about the dropcam on SteveGarfield.tv today, 8/25, at 2 ET.

Jobs charted a completely different path

Boston Globe, Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple:

Steve Jobs, the technology genius who revolutionized personal computers and transformed the way hundreds of millions of people listen to music and use mobile phones, stepped down yesterday as chief executive of Apple Inc., the company he cofounded 35 years ago.

Jobs, 56, was the creative force behind the Mac computer, the iPod music device, the iPhone, and the iPad tablet computer. He has been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer for at least seven years, and underwent a liver transplant in early 2009.

“I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know,’’ Jobs wrote in his resignation letter. “Unfortunately, that day has come.’’

One of the authors of this article, my friend D.C. Denison, gave me a call for a quote:

Steve Garfield, a Boston online video personality, consultant, and author, remembered being wowed by Apple at the Boston Computer Society meeting in 1984, when Jobs introduced the first Macintosh computer to an enthusiastic crowd of local computer hobbyists.

“He took the Macintosh out of a bag and let it introduce itself, in that computer voice,’’ Garfield recalled. “The audience went absolutely crazy. People were screaming.’’

Garfield bought that first version of the Macintosh, and since then has purchased “at least 10 Apple products: a bunch of iPods, iPhones, Macbooks, iPads. What I like about them is that you just turn them on and they work.

“Take a look at the remote control to your cable box, with all its buttons, then look at an iPhone,’’ Garfield said. “That shows you how Jobs charted a completely different path.’’
