Homeland Security

Last time you went out of town you came home to find the Perigord Truffles you brought back from the south of France missing from your freezer. You didn’t think your roommates were cultured enough to appreciate them, much less pilfer them but maybe one of their house guests has expensive tastes? The whereabouts of your imported delicacies cannot be left to speculation. Install the world’s smallest HD Wi-Fi Wireless Video Monitoring Camera to catch them in the act. Dropcam ($150) alerts you when it detects motion or sound, and you can login to watch live footage in your web browser or from the Dropcam app on your iPhone or Android. In addition to 720p HD video recording, automatic night vision, zoom, and support for multiple cameras, Dropcam features two-way audio that allows you to yell at the thief mid-pilfer. If you want to record your camera footage to use in small claims court, the company offers secure cloud storage for your DVR’d video, or if you’d rather go the public humiliation route, you can make your Dropcam viewable via World Wide Web. You’ll never have to worry about the fate of your foie gras again.
