TRENDnet also added more IP cameras, to the twelve it announced at CES. The four new models are basically "cloud" versions of some of the new lineup. Following a model similar to D-Link’s DCS cloud-based IP cameras, the new TRENDnet cams feature browser-based viewing and admin via a free TRENDnet hosted cloud portal. An iOS app will also be available for iPhone viewing.
