Dropcam has introduced its latest internet-connected security camera, the Dropcam Echo, which takes their first model and throws in streaming audio support. The Dropcam Echo hooks up via WiFi to your home or business router and automatically starts streaming video to the company’s site; you can log in via a regular desktop browser or via the iPhone or iPad apps. Meanwhile there’s basic DVR functionality for reviewing older recordings.
Dropcom DVR – which is a subscription-based feature – allows users to look back through the past thirty days of footage, complete with a timeline navigation system. Meanwhile you can also share footage and still frames via the web interface.
If the camera spots any movement then it will automatically send out an email or iPhone push-notification, together with a still image attached and a link to the stream. The Dropcam Echo will go on sale alongside the existing Dropcam ($199), priced at $279.
