PANASONIC KX HNC800

There’s something a little unnerving in the blink-less stare of a home camera… but there’s also something a little unhinged in being paranoid about your own security devices. Still, this Panasonic has a ‘privacy shutter’ that can be slid up to cover the camera and the microphone… if you dare to reach out and do it. There’s no creeping up on it either, as the HNC800 – which works on its own or with Panasonic’s Smart Home system – has a rolling two-second buffer to its motion-activated recording. £160 / panasonic.com £200 / dlink.com
