D-link DCS-8515lh HD Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera: A Security Camera That Can Peer Around

£112.99 FROM D-Link, eu.dlink.com/uk/en FEATURES 720p HD, motorised pan and tilt, night vision, motion and sound detection

With its dinky, robot-style looks and rotating camera, the idea behind this cam is that it can peer around your room.

The cam is simple to set up (no smart home hub is needed), you just install the relevant app on your phone, and then it guides you through the process. Connect the camera to your Wi-Fi, install any pending firmware upgrades, and you’re just about done. One task you’ll need to complete during setup is giving the camera a ‘home’ position – the spot it focuses back on when it’s done all its tilting and panning. This is easily done via a panorama the camera shoots.
