It's such an idiot-proof and seamless process. From there it's only a matter of seconds before your Dropcam HD connects to your Wi-Fi network and you creating your first account. Straight out of the box, it's a matter of connecting the Dropcam HD via its USB cable directly to a computer (Mac or PC), and a Dropcam icon will appear where it'll take you to Dropcam's online initial setup guide. Setting it up is so easy we wish every gadget has such a fluid installation process. The Dropcam HD's user friendliness is of the highest standard. With the help of the amazing quick start guide that tells you exactly what to do in a few simple steps. Unfortunately the Dropcam HD is an indoors only camera. The camera module itself feels well made and clicks into the base, but can still rotate inside the ring should you need a wacky angle. The powder coated silver metal base has a sturdy construction and can tilt forwards and backwards at a 180 degree angle, which basically covers all the viewing angles you could possibly need. The camera itself is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but with the base added, this is not hidden surveillance camera material. The Dropcam HD comes in two pieces with a modular design that's currently not serving any other purpose than having you pop the camera module into the metal base.

In case you aren't using the plastic mounting plate, the Dropcam HD's metal base has plenty of rubber dots underneath for traction. In the box, you'll find the Dropcam HD camera module and the metal base - along with a generous 10ft of white USB cable, a USB power adapter and a plastic mounting plate with a set of wall screws that can snap onto the bottom side of the Dropcam HD's case for additional mounting scenarios. The Dropcam HD package contains an easy to understand set of hardware that anyone without camera monitoring expertise can put together in a matter of seconds. Our full, thorough review awaits you down below! But there is one catch that tags along with the Dropcam's enticing price. The $149 Dropcam HD is the app-driven, wireless home video monitoring camera we've been waiting for. This time we're going to take a look at a newer contender that touts HD video quality, night vision capability and 24/7 cloud DVR recording. The last time we took a look at such a home monitoring device was the iZON by Stem, and while it had promising potential to be great, we weren't overly impressed by the performance the iZON set on the table. Technology has evolved, and you can now easily set up a simple yet sophisticated home security surveillance that doesn't have murky, low resolution image quality. Thankfully that's all a thing of the past. Securing your home with video surveillance cameras used to be extremely costly and complicated process that often times required a third party installation service.
