An example of such a fantastic gadget is Stem Innovation iZon Wi-FI Webcam. It is voted the 2nd most innovative gadget manufactured this past year.
It is a small, white cylindrical device which is about 4 inches height and has a curved magnetic base. It is easy to position the camera due to the circular plate and can be changed up-side-down too. It has an appreciably long power cord which enables it to hang from long distance. The gadget connects to the home Wi-Fi network thus streaming live images to your iPhone, iPod or iPad via the free iZon app which is available in the app store.
The user can configure it to send push notifications if it detects any movement or noise. A newly added feature enables it to record video and upload it directly to YouTube. Since it uploads the live video, the user can keep his eye on the baby’s room, the babaysitter, elder parents, an empty house and organization and so on.
