What's the catch with these types of giveaways? (TP-Link camera giveaway) (www.tp-link.com)

Genuinely curious as to how these types of giveaways work and what the company gains from them. Is it the additional data you give them to enter the giveaway? Also does anyone own one of these cameras, are they actually worth redeeming in this case?

The catch is that you can't use a tp link camera as an IP camera and anyone at their office could just tune into your home whenever they wanted.

Yeah you can. Once i set mine up i locked them out of the net and use free ip to monitor
