Butterfleye - The most advanced home security camera ever created

I lead the round in Butterfleye. My basic thinking: 1. Dropcam was a huge success and great product, but sold too soon ($500m would have been $5b two years later) 2. putting a computer, storage and a huge battery (six iphone batteries!!!) into a security camera like Butterfleye has done will create a massive new set of use cases including: ---> a) take the Butterfleye with you from room-to-room, to the park, use on your dashboard ---> b) use the computer in the camera to recognize faces and send smart alerts ---> c) have unlimited storage by plugging in your dropbox, Google drive, etc. ---> d) if you wifi and power go out at home (when really) you are still recording.... for 24+ hours! power comes back, it syncs back up. This is an amazing startup by a GREAT founder. Really hope everyone takes a moment to buy one or two cameras and support their vision. Hardware is so hard and they are getting it done! I will pick five random people who buy a camera and take them to lunch at the Battery with me!

This looks great, we have some distributed team members, we'd love to have a livestream between us and them on our TV at work, would Butterfleye work for this?

Their execution has been very seamless for a hardware product. Impressive.

Saw these guys at Runway yesterday. Amazing product.

Does it support infrared for dark/nighttime filming?

Everything here looks really great and I'm very interested to see how it stacks up against things like Dropcam. The Indiegogo campaign looks to be huge as well, which is where my question comes from. Right now, 192 backers raised $341,202, which means the average contribution was a little over $1700. Is there something I'm missing or are there just a ton of people contributing amounts between the "Early Triple Backer" and "Business Backer?"

I see on Indiegogo there is a "Business Backer" option. Does this have a commercial application?

I started Butterfleye because I bought every monitoring/home-security camera and none of them solved my problems. Many of my problems led to design decisions and differentiating features inside Butterfleye today. Here are 3 examples: 1) Plenty of cameras out there do a passive 24/7 recording. What if we could put a brain/computer inside the camera. Then the computer and algorithm inside can recognize what's going on around it and behave differently. For example: A)recognize the living room is empty and don't record hours and hours of empty footage. B)recognize when I come home and give me privacy, etc 2) Point & shoot cameras have been battery operated/cordless for years. why we don't have a real cordless monitoring camera that I can setup places with hard to reach power outlets. Or why can't I take the camera on a business trip 3) Wireless connections are just not 100% reliable. What if the camera was smart to recognize this and have built-in back up. If the internet was unavailable or weak then it recorded internally. Kept track of everything and synced up with your smartphone and cloud when connection was solid. Did all of that in the background and without user have to program/adjust things. Hope you guys like what we are building.

Looks amazing to me. I want to understand the power system. I know it's portable but what if I want to leave in the same place and power it? Can I just leave it plugged in? I have a sofa factory and would love a better way to watch what's happening on the floor. This seems like a good option for that.

My biggest issue with dropcam was that I couldn't put it outside. Can this help with that?
