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 don’t own that camera, only the manufacturer does. besides requiring an account and a connection to china to be able to use it, they have access to both your network, and to the camera feed. they’ll use the network info to gather info about you, and the camera feed to train their face and gait recognition AIs, possibly also for intelligence
