Internet cameras aren’t really new but nearly all streaming cameras require some tech savvy to get them up and running. Dropcam changes that with its wireless Internet-connected camera that streams live video to the web and your smartphone.
The Dropcam HD is a no-setup-required camera that plugs into a power outlet and connects automatically to your WiFi network. From there, Dropcam provides live streaming, video recording (DVR), and motion/audio alerts. The alerts are triggered when there is a significant change in the scene.
You can view the stream online via the Dropcam website, view DVR recordings and even share your stream with others. I particularly like the two-audio feature and the ability to digitally pan and zoom. Make sure to download the free app on iTunes or Google Play. $149
