Fancy keeping an eye on the kids, your pets or even work colleagues while you're away? Then the new Linksys WVC200 may have the answers if you have the patience.

A webcam is just a webcam right? Well maybe not given that the quality of so many of them plain suck!  We've been putting the Quickcam Pro 5000 through it's paces and playing with the face tracking technology too.

What do you get if you cross a webcam and a triffid? the Quickcam sphere of course, apart from looking damn mean it follows you around too now that's what we call spooky!

A webcam designed for the laptop user that really fits the brief and its works in the lowest of lighting conditions, this is really worth a look.

Need to keep a close eye on something or someone but need to do it via the web, well until now you needed a pc/webcam or a semi pro webcam with inbuilt web server. But now the chaps at Linksys have managed to package all of this with a 54g wireless link.
