What our experts think...
![our expert review](/files/images/review-andy.jpg)
The 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.

The camera lets you stream, record and playback in 1080p HD quality, so you can clearly make out finer details without having to squint and struggle. You can even see what shenanigans they get up to at night up to a distance of 10m thanks to nightvision technology.

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?!
