Best of luck Mohammad Rafiee! This is really neat. Is there a reason you guys are pricing so low?

Thanks :) we need to figure out the right pricing but we did not want to lose some potential users as a result of pricing too high. what do you think would be a reasonable price?

  Hey! You did a great job! I also think it's too cheap. As you are dealing with security, people need to be sure it will work so maybe higher price would be better. Do you have competitors? I would advise you to be around the same price.

    Thank you :) That is a great point. Yes in the consumer space the monthly subscription fees are mostly in the $5-$10/month range and that's why we decided to go with $7 but for SMB applications we will set the price higher (with more features.)

No "About" page, no privacy policy. Maybe I'm being too cynical, but there's probably a lot more to be made off collecting data from the cameras than you could expect to charge consumers.

  You're absolutely right. We have been mostly focused on the technology side and have been trying to move fast and learn from our users. I agree we need to invest more in providing more details especially on our website. Appreciate your feedback. Re your point about user data, we are not planning on monetizing on users data--we currently only store 10-second clips corresponding to the alerts for each users events of interest (not even every detected motion) when they happen so the users can view later.

  The lack of an About page is weird.. I don't think you are being too cynical, the lack of information about this company on their site is concerning. Especially considering they are selling cameras you put in your house. I'm also surprised by the name they chose, as Visual One is already a software product by Agilysys. I would be surprised if it's not already copyrighted?
