Do lots of people really want to set up their own home surveillance systems? Normal people, I mean, who don’t live in expensive houses that could be robbed at any minute by a passing burglar.

The makers of the RC Surveillance Cam hope there’s a market. Costing £119.95, it consists of a camera, and a handset which you use both to control the cam’s pan’n’tilt, but also to watch the live streaming footage on a 2.5-inch screen, and listen through the speakers.
