What is it?
A wireless high-definition security camera for the home which allows you to monitor your property in real-time day or night.
Good Points?
The live streaming element of the camera provides continued monitoring from any internet-connected device with a 120-degree wide angle lens giving great visual coverage of open outdoor areas.
This is achieved by the mini-hub supplied with the camera which connects to your internet router. The HD quality footage is accessed via a free seven-day rolling cloud storage system and recorded locally to a Micro SD card for portability on other devices.
Two-way audio means you can converse with family, ensure the kids are doing their homework, comfort a lonely pet or even give instructions to someone delivering a package to your door.
The infrared motion detection sensor can be set up to trigger a recording so only events that matter are stored. You can also implement alerts to be sent to your smartphone which is ideal for when you are away on holiday and not expecting any visitors.
Night vision mode kicks in when ambient light starts to fade and provides high quality footage.
Bad points?
Placing the camera in front of a window can affect the lens with glare becoming a real problem in strong sunlight.
Best for ...
Those who like to know their property is safe while out and about.
Avoid if ...
You'd rather not rely on internet-connected technology as part of your home security system.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
