SIMPLE .... but expensive,
By LukeyLu (Bellingham, WA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dropcam Echo Wi-Fi Wireless Internet Home Security Camera with Audio (Electronics)
I have a Mac with a wifi system. I was *very* pleased to find that this camera is exceptionally easy to install (I don't enjoy messing with DNS, IP addresses etc). Just plug the supplied Ethernet cable into the router and the camera. Go to your computer and browse to [...] . Describe the color of the lights on the camera and ba boom. Your hot and good to go.
I got the 'echo' model and the sound works great - even from 30 feet away speaking in a normal voice. Also, the notification system (sending me an email with there is motion or sound) worked great; as did being able to see my camera on my iPhone AND iPad. So far I can't find anything I don't like about this camera. UPDATE: August 3, 2011 I have to report this: 1) The notification system reports a *LOT* of false alarms. and 2) I have 2 cameras and until recently was charged $8.95 per month for internet recording of what was captured. Without notice or warning, DropCam changed the charges to $8.95 PER CAMERA. Since I need several more cameras I will have to look elsewhere. Too bad. Good camera. Good personnel. Lousy policy.

This review is from: Dropcam Echo Wi-Fi Wireless Internet Home Security Camera with Audio (Electronics)
I purchased this camera for a weekend / vacation home primarily as a security camera and hoping that the video and audio alerts would tell me when someone was in the house. My experience has been a mixed bag. The camera was extremely easy to set up and get activated online. The video quality is plenty good for security. I like the web-based approach a lot - all the video is stored on the dropcam servers for a monthly fee (so no one can take the camera and your recorded video with it) and the software that interprets the video and audio to decide that there's movement detected or sound is also located on the server. Very smart.
The problem is that the motion detection isn't very sensitive and only works (as one reviewer noted) in bright light (daylight is best). Medium brightness household lighting wouldn't do it for me. On the other hand, the audio detection is too sensitive. Even with the microphone sensitivity set all the way down, very slight noises (like a car going by the house with the windows closed) will set it off, making the feature useless for me. What is needed is not only the mic sensitivity control that exists now, but also a threshold setting for noise below which you don't get an alert. On the plus side, because of the web-based approach Dropcam can improve this on the server without changing the camera. In fact, I've written support on these problems and they say they're working this now. I'm hopeful and expecting improvements, which is why I'm giving 4 stars. If you're application doesn't need this, or is a more specialized alert application like a quiet office, this camera is a good option.

a product that is easy to setup and use. The only significant downfall is that the camera and especially the motion detector works poorly in less than brightly lighted rooms.
