WANT an extra pair of eyes around the house? I’ve spotted an excellent Amazon deal on some smart security kit.
The retail giant has dropped the price of the Tapo Wi-Fi Indoor Camera by a tidy 39%: it’s dropped from £69.99 to £42.99.

Whenever someone mentions security cameras, we probably think about the ones that watch over our front door or garage while we’re away.
However, an indoor camera can make all the difference if you’re a mum or dad to ay disobedient pup.
You may think that all that means is that you can watch your dog chew on your favourite pillows while you’re in an important office meeting.
Actually, Tapo’s wireless indoor camera offers a few more features than a 2K view of the inside of your home.
The camera is equipped with a two-way microphone, so if your pet misbehaves, you’ll at least be able to try and get it to stop.
Even if you don’t have a pet, it’s still great to communicate with whoever is home while you’re away.
Lots of shoppers even report on buying one to check up on elderly relatives who live alone.
Or, should the worst happen, and an uninvited guest enters your home, the camera is equipped with motion detection and motion tracking.
That means you’ll never lose sight of them thanks to 360-degree capabilities of each camera.
Unsurprisingly, as with a lot of intelligent tech nowadays, the Tapo compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
So if you’ve already got an intelligent ecosystem, you know the drill: say ‘hey Alexa,’ follow it up with a command, and you can pull the feed up on an Amazon Show.
Shoppers who a nervous at the though of installing tech at home should take relief in various reviews on the Amazon site.
One customer writes: ‘Installation is really easy. The picture quality is very impressive and can be enlarged and panned around also very easily.’
The home camera has also received many positive reviews on Amazon, along with a 4.6-star overall rating across a whopping 22,000 ratings.
Another shopper notes: ‘ I was so impressed with the first one that I bought the other two to replace a couple of Nest cameras I had at the other property.’
Another states: ‘The picture is super-clear. We can hear [through it] as well, and you can talk if you want to. All in all, [it’s] a great camera.’

Last week, Tech Writer Tom Tyers spotted another steal of an Amazon deal: the Acer Chromebook Spin 311, priced initially at nearly £300, has been reduced to £179.10.
Senior Writer Matt Breen also found the OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone for £169.90, down from £299.99. It’s a fantastic mid-range phone.
