Fridge-Upgrading Cameras

The Smarter Fridge Cam Can be Placed Inside Any Kitchen Fridge

— May 18, 2018 — Art & Design
The Smarter Fridge Cam offers consumers with the ability to upgrade their existing kitchen appliance without the need to completely replace it with a newer model. Capable of being retrofitted into any fridge, the camera instantly goes to work providing users with the ability to track what they've got within at all times. This helps to make grocery shopping easier and even meal preparation as you can see what's available rather than having to rely on guesswork only to find you're actually out of a certain ingredient.

The Smarter Fridge Cam identifies the increasing demand for low-cost aftermarket solutions that enable consumers to upgrade the items they already have rather than having to upgrade to the latest model to gain new functionalities.
