Introducing the WiFI Video Camera

Geared toward the paranoid or voyeuristic home and small business owner, the HNC290G WiFi camera lets you view wirelessly exactly what’s going on on your property anytime, anywhere. Well, there’s a wire for the AC adapter, but other than that, totally wireless.

The HNC290G supports 802.11b/g as well as 10/100 Ethernet, in case you want a more stable connection to the camera. Other features like UPnP, which allows auto-discovery from PCs, and URL configuration, which lets you access the configuration page from any computer on the network. Their setup wizard with UPnP also sets up port-forwarding on your router automatically, so people on the outside of your network—say your computer at work—can view the camera without figuring out difficult router settings.

It’s also got built-in motion detection and streams video at 30FPS. A good entry-level WiFi camera at $129.99. Buy one, hide it, and have proof your wife’s cheating on you with your brother, while you were making it with your dead cousin’s wife.
