We’ll choose a winning video based on originality and entertainment. The more videos you share, the better your chances to win! Be sure to check our blog on November 9th to see if you’re the lucky winner!

Don’t have a Dropcam?

That’s okay! Share a video clip that you captured on your own camera and you’re still in the running. Don’t forget to include “Dropcam Halloween Contest” in the title!

Looking for ways to celebrate your Halloween?

  1. Haunt your house! Dim the lights, or turn them off completely. The night vision from your Dropcam HD will ensure some great holiday footage!
  2. Throw a costume party! With candy in everyone’s belly, kids will be too sugared up to just go home after trick-or-treating. Encourage guests to get into character and play out their costume on camera.
  3. Make Halloween desserts! Bring family together and show off those tasty treats on camera.

And the iPad winner is…

William Atwood from Maryland!  William is a family man who was at home with his kids when the eastern US dealt with its big earthquake in August.  Sure enough, William’s Dropcam was in his kitchen to keep an eye on the scene.  William caught the start of the earthquake (and its funny effect on his cat and children) on his home Dropcam.

As William describes it, “even in Maryland , you can see the effects” of the earthquake using footage from Dropcam.

Brittany, one of the Dropcamers who voted for this video to win, states that she loved how much build-up she found.  Dropcam was simply watching over their home, yet the video tells a story:

the man scratching his rear, then the cat running, then the actual earthquake with the boy falling dramatically.  The turtle audio is funny too”

Congratulations on your new iPad, William!
