Plain old wireless home security cameras from big-name brands can cost $200 or even more. Thankfully, this is a wildly popular product category right now so there’s tons of competition out there. If you’re looking for something that’s affordable and yet still packs in some awesome features you won’t find on many top-selling models, check out the YI Dome Camera. It does pretty much everything you’d expect a wireless home camera to do, but it also pans 360° and even zooms, all from the iPhone or Android app. It’s also on sale today for just $35 if you use the coupon code TXNQ9QV8 at checkout!
