D-Link DCS-8200LH HD 180-Degree Wi-Fi Camera review: An all-seeing eye for large spaces

Most home security cameras are adequate to monitor a single room, but that doesn’t mean they see the whole room. In all but the smallest spaces, there will be blind spots. Cameras with sound detection mitigate this by alerting you to action happening off camera, while those with mechanical pan-and-tilt let you look at different areas of the room by changing the camera’s viewing positing on the fly.
