Jonathon Brown — January 15, 2013 — Tech
Due in March, Biscotti will be selling its XS home TV camera for $300.
What this device does is connect to your HDTV via an HDMI cable and allows video calling services through the TV. It features two dual band antennas for WiFi support and an ethernet port for those still using landline networks. It comes with a full remote keyboard, a universal TV mount and an adapter.
This home TV camera is another way Internet functionality is being integrated into television sets -- the aim is to make web users scoff at the days they used Skype over grainy webcams. Imagine calling your significant other in high definition? What’s really interesting about this home TV camera is the software that comes with it enables users to record and save their calls for later viewing.
