D-Link’s security cam is the all-seeing eye of your Homekit setup

Should you be one of the planet’s elite supergeeks who have their homes wirelessed up for Apple HomeKit, then the Omna 180 is up for anything. You can set its motion detection to trigger other parts of your smart home setup, such as flashing the lights (obvious) or shutting the blinds (creepy). You can also talk to your burglars using your iPhone, but be sure not to tell them that the Omna only records its 180°-wide footage to an internal microSD card. It can, however, see in the dark and send activity notifications to your phone, so perhaps it’s worth its £200 price tag.

About

Mark's first review for Stuff was the Nokia N-Gage in 2004. Luckily, his career lasted a little longer than the taco phone, and he's been trying to figure out how gadgets fit back into their boxes ever since. While his 'Extreme Mark Wilson' persona was retired following a Microsoft skydiving incident, this means he can often be spotted in the wilds of South West London testing action cams, drones and smartwatches, and occasionally cursing at them.
