So anyone agree DropCam is the best?
genial
I honestly don’t care about the content of these videos. I just love how The Verge makes the video. It’s just so visually appealing
What lense and camera is used to record this?
Would not buy any of them
I have no interest in any of these cameras until the let you use local storage. I understand the security concerns with local storage but it should at the very least be an option instead of being forced to pay for a monthly subscription that equates to a paid for dropbox account.
Are there any actual reviews (her on YouTube) made by this guy or the Verge about home Security cams?
Who cares what the verge thinks after they said the iPhone 6 is the best phone you can buy?
iVerge at it again!
Internet use? I get unlimited usage. You people who dont get unlimited should argue with with your internet provider .
Why buy such a expensive thing as you can make one your self for less then that
American people are bent over on so many things…internet, clothes, glasses, phones. PC’s are cheep tho…
If there was one by Apple the Verge would probably say it is the best. XD
“This is about as good as you’re going to get without buying a full fledged security system.…” Nope. Sorry. That’s wrong.
There are practically hundreds of cameras out there under $150 each that connect to your home router that will then send the footage to your home computer. There is no service cost as the footage is stored on your hard drives. You can access real time footage from any device for free as well. You can install them your self with a day’s worth of high school shop class knowledge. It seems like the ‘men’ that put this video together are the type of guys that call a plumber when their faucet is leaky…
DROPCAM MONEYYYYYY
@WayneJohnson Well I haven’t used them all but his arguments are pretty solid. Only thing missing is comparison between getting an actual security system and one of these.
Great video Josh
Also worth noting Dropcam work with the Nest thermostat. A couple cool tricks include sending recipients video clips in an event the Nest protect detects smoke or carbon dioxide and will turn your heat or air conditioner on or keep on if the Dropcam detects movement in the home.
I love backgrounds of The Verge videos. Great looking plus very well recorded.
Why wasn’t Canary included in this list? It seems like a more than worthy competitor to me.
“And at a close fifth we have the iPhone, not only does it have great viewing angles, but it fits well in your pocket…” iVerge
hey Josh, you know your name means “lions son” in German and nordic languages?
I just use the Foscam 720p cameras, one inside and one outside, and Tinycam pro app on my phone. Half the price of the ones in the video, excellent web layout and most of all, no yeatly subscription fees. Possiblility to use Tasker with tinycam makes it so much more customizable as well. Saving the video and pictures on my ftp or on a sd card.
What about security cams? They start around 200$ for a 4‑cam set with 500GB hard drive, and no need to pay these cloud fees. You only need to have some knowledge how to connect it to the internet and use live streaming.
how can you get dropcam pro in the uk?
all these too expensive when u can pay for cheaper cameras and setup a security system for yourself using free software available online
Expensive…
If Apple launch one camera, for iVerge will be the best.
Do an episode on 3d printers
Could you do a This Is My Next music streaming service? Spotify hasn’t been working so great for me lately and I’m not sure what the best other options are.
‘This Is My Next’ is my favorite!
By the way, the video editing is much better now — did you hire a expert?
the verge sucks
That background music is fucking annoying.
what a crock… dropcam is far from the best cam in its class. you obviously are being paid to pitch this. there are alot better and way cheaper same quality cams with p/t options, SD storage local storage and can use with tinycam as well as motion and face detection, 2 way voice. none of these cams you advertised came under $100.00. foscam is way better IMHO.and cheaper. like dropcam the foscam c1 is same and costs less upfront.
I must have miss the part that explained why dropcam is the best.….
do an update for this video please
Dominic Parker — great product and very easy to use! »>t.co/Sd0eKrAfNV Had an issue setting it up after we moved but Dominic got me up and running in about 10minutes. Thank you Dominic!
