While the HD Dropcams are noticeably better than the regular ones, this is not nearly comparable to a 720p video broadcast that you can watch on TV (not even close). In fact, I would be happy if it was DVD-quality. That said, better video quality is always very welcome.
For those who have multiple Dropcams, the app allows up to four simultaneous streams to be watched at once. That’s a big deal for anyone who wants to do home surveillance. I used this type of setup myself to make sure that if an elderly person fell in different part of a home, we could spot that as soon as possible. It’s handy.
If you are not familiar with Dropcam, you should read our Dropcam review. It’s not a recent one, but their products fundamentals are still the same. Basically, it’s a webcam service that is super-simple to setup. You can view your videos online or on a mobile device. Dropcam also has video-recording upgrades, which are much simpler to operate than local recorders.
