8. Dropcam / Sensr.net
My last addition to the update deals with camera security. Dropcam allows users to buy their webcam and store images on their cloud server. It is similar to Sensr.net. The only difference is that Sensr does not lock users into one webbam which makes it a better service in my opinion. Just make sure it has ftp capability and you can use Sensr. If that is too hard for you, then stick with Dropcam.
Protekus Security Solutions, my security company here in Vietnam, plans to offer Sensr packages with small businesses utilizing the available webcams in the local market, if possible.
