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?

Basically. You’re telling TP-Link that you’re a business that’s interested in selling their products. In return, their Sales team now has your information and can
pester youtell you all about the latest TP-Link products.Additionally, they’re putting their products directly in the hands of customers who could become even bigger customers. If you, as a company, decide you like the product, then you’re probably going to buy more of said product.
Finally, TP-Link is being selective about who gets the freebie—they’re not just handing them out willy-nilly. From the fine print:
So there’s probably some sort of “legitimacy threshold” you have to clear in order to get the goodies.
Cisco used to not be that selective.
They used to give out free Meraki APs to everyone just for attending their webinars. The catch with those devices was licensing. You’ve got some limited-time free license, and then you either paid or kept a paperweight.
At least officially. Some of them were later supported by OpenWRT, but newer ones are more locked down.
