Whew, here we go again.
When I launched Behold cam on Producthunt for the _first_ time a few years back – it was just an idea, a side project. A vague hope that some others might be interested in a new type of camera for observing wildlife.
Fast forward to now... and we've started manufacturing. I quit my day job over a year ago and have been full-time focussed on building Behold Cam-1 – the best wildlife camera we could possibly dream up.
So it's great to come back here to where a lot of it started. Those handful of people that signed up at the time showed me that there was an interest in a new type of nature tech.
The appearance reminds me of Apple Shuffle, which was once my favorite music player. Wish I can have my backyard to see the flurry friends.
Really happy to see you continuing the project 🙌 I can imagine this being incredible for schools as well, kids setting up cameras in the schoolyard and discovering the biodiversity right around them 🌱
Impressive grind, Pete. Curious tho—how does Cam-1 handle low-light envs vs the usual trail cams?
I like how it captures the details and how it could be sticked almost everywhere, upvoted!
Wow, such a cool idea and a really unique product. I love wildlife—if I had a big backyard, I’d definitely want to try it out!
It looks good. For a camera used outdoors, battery life is also a crucial factor.
Cool this is exactly what I need—I’m always wondering what sneaks through my backyard at night! Love that it makes sharing wildlife moments so easy. Any plans for night vision?
