I love indoor security cameras. I have what I consider a healthy bit of paranoia and love the peace of mind security cameras give me. Prior to my employment with The Gadgeteer I had purchased two Foscams, and early on I was given the chance to review the Oco Cam. Recently, I was given the

Over the past couple of years, I’ve become a fan of small (and not so small) portable Bluetooth speakers.
