This is my fifth DropCam, so obviously I love them. SUPER easy to setup (less than a minute) and you have a live webcam.This new one ("DropCam Pro") seems to have slightly better video quality than the previous ones. When compared side by side green looks a little "greener" and the picture is a bit sharper.It also increased the field of view, which can be good or bad depending on your particular use.WARNING: they are *ONLY* for "indoor use", but I make my own enclosures for outside in an ocean environment (looking at surfers and waves) and it holds up pretty well. I plan to seal up this with Silicone Sealant ($5 at any hardware store, Amazon sells it also) and try it outside. I'll update this review as I get some experience (like if it dies quickly).If you Google search for "Weatherproof Dropcam" and look for a link on "ski-epic" that shows the DIY (Do it Yourself) totally for free way to waterproof your Dropcam. NOTE: I'm not selling... |

I have been an owner of a Dropcam HD wifi camera for a little over ten months and have always felt underwhelmed with the performance of the camera; average picture quality, unreliable connection, poor microphone. Having read that the new Dropcam PRO addresses all of these complaints, I felt an upgrade was in store.I won't rehash what's already been documented in several reviews but I will say that the increase in image quality, especially finer detail in low-light conditions, warrants the extra $50 dollars.For a better idea as to what type of improved image performance one can expect, here's a screenshot from my Dropcam as well as the same angle captured by the PRO:Dropcam: http://s12.postimg.org/5bvq7tyb1/Dropcam.pngDropcam PRO: http://s18.postimg.org/59igw2qcp/Dropcam_PRO.png |

I ordered the Dropcam Pro yesterday and it arrived today. I had already downloaded the app to my phone and tablet in anticipation of the arrival. I opened the box to find attractive packaging and a quality looking product. I grabbed my phone plugged the USB into a wall and connected the camera using the included micro USB port. By the time I had opened the app the camera was already doing its thing.The app prompts you to sign in or create an account with minimal personal information. From there it suggested that it could 'look' for cameras, I tapped the screen and it immediately locates the camera. Next it asks you to select your desired wifi network and prompted me for the password. Once I typed the password in the camera feed immediately appeared on screen.I have dabbled in a few other wifi security cameras but it does not get any easier than this. A generous angle view is satisfactory for the lack of a pan feature (meaning there is no motor to go bad). An... |
