A developer team from London introduces an action camera
with a different perspective. When other manufacturers emphasize on the toughness
aspect, the Eddie camera from Eddie Corp is described as an all-in-one
'security camera'.
Eddie is designed ergonomically; it has minimalist elongated
form just like a LED flashlight. Eddie is so small, so you can put it anywhere:
in the garage of the house, in the car dashboard, on the eyewear frame, or take
it for the adventurous. The ability and performance of Eddie have been put
together in order to be able to compete with other popular brands of action
cameras.
The solution that's offered by Eddie Corp. is very
interesting. In the holidays, you can chat with your family members naturally
while still recording them without having to grip the camera. You can also put
Eddie in your child's bag during the school outing, and you can always keep an
eye on him/her circumstances. To complement this need, the developer also puts
a GPS tracker feature.
Eddie is connected wirelessly to a mobile device via a
companion application. You can take a still image or video, as well as access
it in real-time. The results can be directly shared to social networks or
stored in the cloud. A number of photography modes have been provided in order
to make satisfying photos which look good at night, during the day, or in the
water. Paired with a special casing, Eddie can accompany you to explore the
extreme locations, sky diving, up to diving.
In standby mode, Eddie will be immediately activated when it
detects motion - perfect for monitoring your home or work desk in the office.
The developer hasn't revealed detailed info about the resolution and size of
the sensor, but the battery is claimed to be able to record for 24 hours, even
up to 500 hours of standby time. This all-in-one security cam is presented in
three storage capacities: 8GB, 16GB and 32GB.
You can reserve Eddie through the crowdfunding site,
Indiegogo, starts from US $ 69.
