What our experts think...
Andy Product ExpertThe camera's pan and tilt function is great, not only because it looks as if the penguin is moving his head back and forth, it allows me to view every corner of my room without the need for any additional cameras, which comes in very useful when tracking my cat whizz around the room. Plus, the penguin design is a really nice touch as it's not instantly obvious that it functions as a camera to any guests.

Setting the camera up is super easy and only takes a couple of minutes to do. Just download the app to your smartphone, pair it to the camera, connect to Wi-Fi and youre ready to go. Once set up, you can create motion alerts that send notifications to your smartphone when the camera picks up any movement - after all, who has time to sit there and watch a live camera stream all day?!
