BB-8™ App-Enabled Droid™ by Sphero From a galaxy far, far away, we introduce to you BB-8™, the app-enabled Droid™ whose advanced intelligence offers robotic movement, interaction and personality as never experienced before. Coming directly from Star Wars™: The Force Awakens into your very own home, BB-8 can be controlled using your smartphone or tablet but also recognises and reacts to your voice commands with a range of advanced expressions and behaviour.

Designed with in-built holographic communication capacities, the Sphero BB-8 allows you to record and view virtual holographic videos. Yet be warned: BB-8 also has a mind of its own and is able to function autonomously, exploring the galaxy around it to develop its intelligence and personality.

YI Home Wireless IP Camera is a great option for the ones that have a limited budget. It is a compact camera that offers excellent HD footage and plenty of control options such as a digital zoom and a wide angle lens.

The sensor used for the camera offers HD streams paired with an infrared night sensor that can be activated remotely. Like with other IP cameras it can be controlled using computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets over the internet. It also includes a micro SD card slot that can be used to add storage for the footage to be recorded locally.

D-Link DCS-932L Wireless Day / Night Network Surveillance Camera is one of the most compact models in our list. It is also one of the most affordable.

Unfortunately the low price tag also means a lower quality image sensor that is capable of recording only footage at 640 by 480 pixels and 20 frames per second. The model allows for wireless connectivity and can be controlled using the dedicated D-Link web portal. It can also be accessed using an iOS or Android smartphone and it is extremely easy to setup.

Nest Dropcam Pro Wi-Fi Wireless Video Monitoring Security Camera is a great option for security and surveillance for the ones that do not mind spending some extra money. It has a compact form factor and a stylish design.

Like with other Nest cams it is easy to setup and supports footage recording on a network attached storage or on Nest cloud services. In terms of image quality the camera offers full HD footage and can be controlled using a regular smartphone. The model also has a two-way talk feature and can be configured to run on a user-determined scheduled.
