The Belkin NetCam HD+ is on point (pictures)
This low-cost Wi-Fi camera's design rivals some of its more expensive competition.
A low-cost IP camera with guts
The Belkin NetCam HD+ costs $130 (£130 in the UK, and AU$170 in Australia).
For your money, you get the camera, a stand, a power cord, and hardware for optional wall mounting.
The NetCam HD+ has a glass lens for sharper optics.
While Belkin's NetCam isn't tough to spot in a room, it is relatively small and subtle -- as far as IP cameras go.
To get started, download the free Belkin NetCam app for your Android or iOS device.
Then, plug in the power cord.
Follow the steps in the instruction booklet and the app to get the camera running.
This camera has a 720p resolution -- that's one step down from the Dropcam Pro's 1080p.
It also comes with two-way talk and Belkin WeMo product integration.
Opt into the $10 monthly or $100 yearly Cloud+ Premium Services to get more features.
You can get a monthlong trial period of the Cloud+ offerings to see if it's right for you.
It includes 14-day rolling video storage, so you always have two weeks of saved footage.
If you want to keep any video clips beyond the two-week period, you can download them directly from the Web app as MP4 files.
This camera also comes with a motion sensor so Cloud+ subscribers can receive email and push notifications whenever motion is detected.
The NetCam HD+'s features and relatively low price make it a particularly great value compared with other Wi-Fi security cameras.
