The family-room shelf is already full of toys, so one more bear looks at home there. This plush bear carries a 720p Wi-Fi camera that records sound too and sends a motion alert to your phone.

• A plush bear, not a gadget: a soft teddy with a zip down its back, sitting upright on a shelf or toy chest.
• Wide 125° view: one bear on a shelf takes in a broad sweep of the room in front of it.
• Charge it a few times a year: one charge lasts up to 90 days on motion standby, so the bear can stay where it sits.
• Wakes in under 2 seconds: its motion sensor starts recording almost at once and your phone gets an alert.
• 32 GB card inside: room for about 32 hours of video, overwriting the oldest first.

What you need: home Wi-Fi in the room where the bear sits, and the app on an iPhone with iOS 8 or later or an Android phone with Android 4.4 or later.
