NextDrive Plug

[pit5000]

Here's a little something I got on Indiegogo

 

What is it?

It's a plug that turns most USB drives, external drives and webcams into cloud devices.

 

 

How does it work?

It's mostly plug and play, setup is quite easy. Uses mobile app (iOS and Android).

 

 

What does it do?

Turns webcams into remote web/cloud webcams for monitoring and manual snapshots.

Turns most drives into cloud drives for viewing and backing up photos.

 

 

Pros:

easy to use

webcam does not need to be on officially supported list to work. I used C910 which is not officially supported and it still works fine.

 

Cons:

need to consider where you'll put it cause it could block other power outlets.

software isn't polished, crashes sometimes.

no support for exFAT format

I saw "plug" in the title and I thought this was a product plug!

 

Anyway, cool idea but does it work remotely over the internet or does it have to be bluetooth?

bluetooth is used to sync it. Afterwards, it's peer to peer over any network/internet.
