Greg Duffy co-founded DropCam with Aamir Virani, a fellow software engineer, in 2009; Duffy serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Virani is the Chief Operating Officer. DropCam was originally engaged in software development for cameras made by AXIS, a Swedish company, but the two organizations parted ways when DropCam shifted its focus to the manufacture of more affordable cameras.
Dropcam’s cameras are designed to provide families, small businesses, and individuals with video monitoring for their residential and commercial spaces. The San-Francisco-based American technology company is best known for its DropCam and DropCam Pro, which are Wi-Fi video streaming cameras.
Users can view live feeds from the cameras via DropCam’s cloud-based service, thus, allowing them to monitor their homes and businesses from a remote location. Subscribers can also record and store up to week’s worth of videos at a time for $99 per year.
In June 2014, DropCam Inc. was purchased by Google’s Nest Labs for $555 million.
