Tracking for U.S. Mevo Camera Pre-Orders to be emailed Saturday

Could LiveStream’s Standalone Wifi Camera actually be in consumers hands as early as next week? That’s what LiveStream’s Company email announced today, Thursday July 28, 2016 as they seem to be coming awfully close to missing another launch deadline. Messages posted on Social Media outlets suggest agitation from delays and from receiving little to no updates on the product they were initially told would be delivered in April. LiveStream Customers/Early Adopters were originally promised this product back in April of 2016 but were told just days before the launch that they would be waiting until late July due to some hardware issues.

Read LiveStream’s Email Update for The Mevo Camera

It’s this the end but were told the day of July and – even though it’s a squeaker – Mevo has started to ship!mTwo years ago we could only dream of the day when you would use your camera with your own audience. We’re looking forward to seeing what you create with your Mevo.
Tracking numbers for U.S. Mevo camera pre-orders will be emailed Saturday. These camera orders will begin arriving Tuesday, depending on your selected shipping method.
Unfortunately, Boost and international orders will be affected by a minor delay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Boost will ship in August. The Mevo Boost accessory is awaiting FCC and CE certification. If you ordered the Mevo Pro Bundle prior to July 14th and have a U.S. delivery address, you will receive a tracking number for your camera and stand this weekend. We will ship Mevo Boost to you later, in a few weeks.
International orders are scheduled to ship in August. Some of the international certification paperwork required to ship Mevo and Mevo Boost is still pending approval. As a result we are prohibited from shipping orders outside of the United States at this time.
If you have any questions regarding your order, visit the newly updated Mevo help center at getmevo.com/support and our Customer Care team will be happy to assist.

Thanks again, and enjoy your Mevo!

LiveStream’s Live Event Camera, Movi now Called Mevo Delayed Until Late July 2016

In a short email released today, April 12, 2016 at around 2:20PM CST Jesse Hertzberg, CEO of Livestream told thousands of customers who preordered their Live Event Camera, Movi now called Mevo that their camera expected to be shipped this month would not be delivered for another three months in late July. They did not give a specific date just another estimate that in my opinion seems a little unreliable coming from the self proclaimed leaders in live video. Somehow the email seemed less apologetic and more a matter of fact. Customers were given the option for a no questions asked refund but when clicking the link to process a refund you were only redirected to an email address routed to their customer service department or what not.

This smells a little fishy considering, your email address should be linked to your order number and processing a refund should be just as easy as ordering the same product that wouldn’t be delivered for another 3 months, now 6 months if it’s actually delivered in late July.

The email tried to buffer this disappointing news, with Facebook’s announcement to open its Facebook Live Video integration to the new and improved Mevo Camera “for free” as opposed to the subscription service originally introduced through LiveStream- but in all fairness you can now use just about any wireless camera with Facebook Live so that is more exciting than camera/platform specific streaming.

With Mevo’s Facebook Live integration, Livestream is providing Facebook’s 1.6 billion users with the most compelling way to leverage the power of the social platform’s new live video service. From concerts to conferences, sports to school plays, personal vlogs to web shows, and business events large and small, the possibilities for engaging live video storytelling is endless. Streaming from Mevo to Facebook Live will be free of charge.

Included in the email was a link to a You Tube Video that was created using the new and improved Mevo Live Event Camera on the Facebook Platform. Many commenters noticed the fish eye effect in the uploaded footage that wasn’t apart of the demo footage on the original sales pages. That doesn’t bother me as much as a major company not delivering on their word and offering no real accommodations for customers who were willing to invest in a product three months before it would be delivered that are now being asked to wait another three months.
