I guess most people have not heard of the brand Freecam before. If you tried Googling for the word “freecam”, you would chance upon a lot of NSFW links. I wished they have a better name.
Freecam is a security camera brand targetted at consumers by LSVT.
The D-Link Omna 180 Cam HD (DSH-C310) was launched in Singapore early this month and is retailing for S$319 in stores and on Apple Singapore Online Store.
The unique selling point of this camera is Apple HomeKit integration. Apple HomeKit is Apple’s proprietary answer to it’s Smart Home solution.
Beseye is a Taiwanese company that does home cameras and cloud services.
Its first product is Beseye Pro. Beseye Pro is a wi-fi monitoring camera that has won the reddot award 2015 because of its smooth design and clever magnetic mounting.
Blink started out as a Kickstarter project where it raised a total of US$1,069,386 from 6,879 backers out of the initial goal of US$200,000.
It was shipped to backers in May 2015.
I am intending to mount my Nest Cam outside my new house. If you are like me and intend to mount it outside, you would probably need three Nest Cam accessories.
Unfortunately, all three accessories doesn’t ship to Singapore directly from Amazon and hence you have to use a freight forwarder like HopShopGo.
Bought the Nest Cam from Amazon for US$183.90 (S$265). It qualifies for the free AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping and hence shipping to Singapore is free.
US$183.90 is not the lowest price, it went down to $168.99 during Black Friday 2015 but unfortunately, I miss out on that promotion.
