2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Tech and Gadgets

This gadget helps you keep an eye on the things you care about. (Sound creepy? Stick with us.) It’s the only Wi-Fi video monitoring camera that you can easily set up to stream to your iPhone, Android, iPad, or computer monitor, making it a great gift for the nervous new mom or pet lover (puppy cam!). Other cool features: You can easily share and save video, and there’s night vision that turns on automatically.
