content: Quote from: bktemp on August 29, 2014, 08:38:43 amI always laughed at these cheap toys.With lot's of options for WiFi h264 IP Cams from various companies (Axis, ACTi, Vivotek, D-Link, Trendnet, Level One, etc.), why to buy such a toy. h264 IP Cams are affordable, powerful, industry standard and professionally made. NVRs are cheap, affordable and multi-function nowadays.Ops! Sorry Dave if I insulted your Dropcam. It is not bad in the end. It supports Cloud storage.

Watch this:Most other Dropcam demos are working which confirms my theory. The only person who is in a position to ask Dave about the Dropcam is Mrs. EEVBlog. I am almost sure that she has the password.

content: It works here with Chromium & Firefox under Ubuntu Linux (restricted packages enabled). I see two mysterious big boxes, MakerBot in the center and whiteboard on the right beside shelf. If it works here, it should work almost everywhere else. Excellent night vision.

That person wanted to send the first prototype to Sagan, so he could monitor his dadDave did not want anyone to stalk on him; thus, he decided to turn Dropcam off-line permanently.P.S.: It was in the rumors that the same device had one additional LED for Dave's activity on forthcoming Altium Circuit Breaker (edit: Maker).Disclaimer: The above post is entirely fake and supposed to be a joke
