Once you plug the box into a power outlet with the included AC adapter, it will detect your Wi-Fi network. Setting up the Bevy and its accompanying apps is simple. If you're worried about sharing too much, you can create and curate profiles and upload settings with passcodes so the Bevy app will warn you before each upload. You can also access photos on the Bevy while you're away from home, as long as it's connected to Wi-Fi. The app categorizes photos by date and organizes them into a timeline so that they're easy to find.

This potentially chaotic, social aspect is the Bevy's modus operandi, and could make it a big attraction for parents, grandparents, or social butterflies with a ton of photos who often host gatherings.Īnyone connected to your Wi-Fi network, or within Bluetooth range of the Bevy itself, can also upload their photos to the Bevy so long as they have the app downloaded, and you grant them access to your Bevy account. If someone else takes out their phone and swipes a photo then their pic will replace the previous picture. If family members or friends have the Bevy app installed on their mobile device, and they're connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the Bevy itself, they can transfer a local photo wirelessly to the Bevy by swiping their respective touch screen toward the device to make their photos appear on the TV screen instantly. The main reason to use the Bevy is to view pictures on an HDTV with the included HDMI cable, bringing back the idea of gathering around the family album, but in a digital way. You can plug in an external hard drive, too. Additionally, you can copy pictures from a Windows or Mac computer using a desktop app. And if you run out of room, you can sign up for Bevy's unlimited cloud storage backup for $60 per year once it's up and running-it's not online at this time. You can also transfer pictures directly from an SD card or USB thumb drive and transfer shots from there. You can choose to upload photos automatically-as soon they are taken-or you can manually pick and choose the shots you want to store. With those devices, you can wirelessly upload all of your photos using a free app.

The Bevy works with devices that run iOS 8 or later and Android 4.3 or later. Inside you'll find an Intel 2.16GHz dual-core Celeron processor with 2GB RAM and a 1TB (or 2TB) hard drive. There's dual-band 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 to connect to Android and iOS devices. A six-foot HDMI cable comes included in the box. On the back, you'll find two more USB 3.0 ports for four in total, an Ethernet port, a VGA port, an HDMI-out port, a headphone/optical-out port, and the AC adapter port. One the side is where you'll see the SD slot, a Kensington lock slot, and a vent. On the Bevy's front you'll find two USB 3.0 ports and a headphone jack. The box is brushed aluminum, and you can choose either black, blue, or purple accents. The Bevy itself is a small rectangular box that measures 4.6 by 4.4 by 2.0 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.5 pounds.

For less than half the price, you could buy a relatively inexpensive digital frame with more features like the Nixplay Edge 8-Inch Wi-Fi Cloud Frame. Its price is very steep, too, and it's missing many features that the company promises will be added later. It's a noble goal in this fragmented age of multiple accounts on Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, and elsewhere, but Bevy is hampered by its inability to pull photos from those popular services. Using a combination of USB ports, an SD card slot, and a computer and smartphone app, it aims to bring the singular family photo album into the digital age for friends and families to share. The Bevy Smart Photo System ($299 1TB $349 2TB) is basically a hard drive you can hook up to your TV and view pictures in a social group setting.
