Can you talk me through drop cams...

[rugbywife]

I have questions:

- does the model really matter?
- will crazy hackers see my kid?
- anything else I need to know?

I have the pro drop cam and love it.
We have ours set up with a password on our Internet which is also pw protected.
I love the ability to have an app on my phone to check in even if we are out on a date. Ds dropped mine and it broke the night vision and they sent a replacement wonderful customer service.

Also you can record if you pay a few. We don't do this but it's an option.

We have the non pro version and I think it's fine. Our wireless network is secure so I'm not worried about casual hackers. We are very happy with drop cam and will be getting another one for baby #2's room. DH said it was very easy to set up.

Also I agree with piaffe about loving the ability to check it when I'm away from home. Like this weekend, I was our running errands and saw that he took a short nap so I came home earlier than intended bc I knew DH needed to get some work done.

Ok, thanks! Good to know the pro version isn't necessary!

I have the regular version and my brother has the pro... i'd get the pro. The night vision is way better , much clearer on his. We can see DD at night but it's often fuzzy.

We love it though. Super easy to set up. It's secure if your wifi is secure..

We love being able to check in on it from our phone's anywhere.

hmmm now i'm wondering if something is faulty with our night vision!

We're looking at getting either a Drop cam or the Samsung Smartcam (link below) because it has an SD card you can record to instead paying for cloud storage. Now that she is in the crib I'd really like to be able to see her.

But my question is being able to store video footage something you would use?

[carolinagirl831]

I would never use the video storage unless I was using it as a home security system
