Internet of Things
Internet-connected devices like security cameras, air quality monitors, and smart plugs are making their way into homes and workplaces. Here are 10 worth considering.
D-Link Omna
Apple's HomeKit home-automation software has struggled to match the third-party support that seems to be flocking to the Amazon Echo and Google Home, and D-Link's Omna is the only security camera currently available that supports HomeKit.
The camera itself works well, with a wide-angle lens that provides close to a full 180-degree view of your room, along with 1,920-by-1,080 resolution and infrared night-vision mode. The Omna app streams live video to your iOS devices, and there's a MicroSD slot that allows you to record videos onto a memory card. But, of course, the HomeKit support is the main attraction, allowing you to control the camera with Siri voice commands, or link the camera to other HomeKit devices -- perhaps using the camera to turn on your lights if it detects an intruder.
