Samsung’s SmartCam HD Plus (http://www.techhive.com/article/3020470/security-cameras/samsung-smartcam-hd-plus-review-this-nest-cam-clone-is-more-than-a-knock-off.html) was one of the first DIY security camera’s we reviewed that improved upon the Dropcam blueprint. Now Samsung has added the SmartCam PT ($229) to its lineup. This pan-and-tilt model lets you see into the blind spots stationary home security cameras can’t reach, and it comes with a few well-thought-out features that set it apart from its many competitors.
If you’re of a certain age, the SmartCam PT (available at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SNH-V6410PN-SmartCam-1080p-Camera/dp/B01IDM5TZC%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIRZJHSP2SKQIWVZA %26tag%3Dpcworld02-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165 953%26creativeASIN%3DB01IDM5TZC)) will likely evoke the old Apollo command modules: a truncated cone that comes to a blunt point. The hollowed out center holds the camera itself, and the black upper part of the cone swivels on its gray base. Set on a shelf, it doubles as an interesting knick-knack, but you can also secure it to a supplied bracket with thumbscrew and mount to a wall.
