Documenting our lives through services like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook is becoming more common these days. You can't even go to dinner without someone snapping a picture of their food. What if there were a way to capture life's precious moments without disrupting them? The team behind MeCam, which we took a look at in August, is offering a solution with the MeCam HD, but needs your help to make make it a reality.
MeCam LLC. has taken to Dragon Innovation, a crowd-funding platform similar to Kickstarter, with hopes of raisin $70,000 in 30 days in order to bring the MeCam HD to life.
So, what is it, exactly? MeCam HD is a miniature wearable camera that shoots full 1080p HD video. In addition, the MeCam HD can shoot photos in its Single Shot, Photo Burst, and Time Lapse modes. Just attach it using the included clip, safety pin bracket, or neck strap and you're good to go. MeCam HD emits its own Wi-Fi signal, allowing you to connect it to your iDevice through the MeCam app, which lets you use your iDevice as a realtime viewfinder, as well as play back and share content via Facebook and YouTube. Otherwise, data is saved to a microSD card, which you can then import to your computer.
If the MeCam HD reaches it's $70,000 goal within the next 30 days, it will ship in January 2014. The retail price of MeCam HD will be $260, while the company is offering an early bird special of $170 for the first 200 backers.
