@bennader_ well done to you and the team. I just made a contribution to your Indiegogo campaign. At Ento Smart Home, we looked at more than 30 different "smart home" video security cameras but none are really smart/thoughtful. Even the Nest Cam disappoints. I really like the fact that it can recognise when the camera is actually useful and then it comes to life and disappears when things are normal. I really like the battery charging instead of wired too.
Can you pleas tell us a bit more about the product roadmap?
@mossibat Thank you for being a supporter! It really means a lot to myself and the team. Sure, let me talk about the roadmap a bit:
Roadmap primarily focuses on the Intelligence and deeper video and audio analytics. The problem it solves for the consumer is around "peace-of-mind" and/or giving them the power to be check on anything that is important. The key here is the "video content" (& audio content) and making sense of it. For example the current device can recognize people, faces, and pets.. the next get can recognize doors and windows being left open or closed.. and certain objects in the home (think stove, coffee pot, etc)
Report
Seems really nice but not sure how many will pay &260 for the premium features. Wanted to offer my personal take, but happy to be convinced otherwise. To the founder's points above:
1. I don't face my security cameras. Not sure how the face detection will work. It sounds good but I don't know that it would work well in practice. Welcome to be proven wrong.
2. Cordless sounds nice except everywhere I want a security camera I have a plug. That's mainly home and hotel.
3. Wireless can be unreliable but in home and hotel it's pretty darn reliable. Paying for local storage for the 0.1% case doesn't motivate me to pay for the premium.
I don't want to diminish the hard work it takes to pull off a hardware startup. I just wanted to give you my take on whether or not I would buy this versus an existing product.
