Eye-Fi Phones Home Stolen Cameras

Since purchasing a DSLR last year, my major problem hasn’t been related to having a good time, but rather endlessly worrying if my camera will be lost, stolen or broken. I haven’t had a chance to use the Eye-Fi wireless SD card yet, but I’ve heard plenty of good things. Now I have another reason to pick one up: security.

Seems the Eye-Fi software will let you know what happened to your camera if it gets within range of an open WiFi network. Talk about an added bonus! However, Eye-Fi just so happened to lock on to an open WiFi network that matched the owner’s details and thus an upload was performed. What if that didn’t happen? Would Eye-Fi still save your digicam? Only one way to find out…
