BT Smart Home Cam
www.bt.com
Reviewed by David Savage
On receiving the BT Smart Home Cam 100 I assumed it was just another webcam that would have a grainy picture with a complicated setup
process. I was very wrong and within minutes of taking it out of the box it was set up, running and working perfectly.
The BT Smart Home Cam 100 is a home video monitoring camera that you can monitor from your smartphone, tablet or PC while away from home.
On opening the box you find the camera, power supply, wall mounting screws and user guide. After reading through the user guide you are advised to follow the very simple set up instructions:
First download the app from your favourite app store to your smartphone or tablet but do not run it once downloaded.
Second plug in the camera and move the switch on the back of the camera to the setup position and on your smartphone or tablet go to the Wi-Fi settings and connect to the HomeCam device.
Third open the BT Home Cam app on your smartphone or tablet and follow the instructions to setup the camera by adding your Wi-Fi details and setting up a new account. Once this is completed move the
switch on the back to the camera position and you are ready to go.
This process took me no longer than 5 minutes to set up.
Once I found a suitable place to position the camera (I haven’t fixed to the wall yet) I was ready to try it out and see how good it was but wasn’t sure the best way to try. Picking up my phone I clicked on the app and logged in. Once connected I clicked on the name of the camera (I set the name during the setup process) and was then looking at my back door in high definition. On the screen there are 3 options: turn the microphone on, take a picture and take a recording. If you make a recording or take a picture these will be stored on your device.
If you don’t want to have to keep logging on to check the camera it also has a motion sensor. This is a great function, if someone walks past the camera the motion is detected and sends an alert to your smartphone or tablet so you can connect straightaway and see who or what set it off taking a recording or picture should you need to or turn on the microphone to hear what is happening. You can even subscribe to have any motion triggered events stored in the cloud for up to 30 days (this is a paid service after the free trial).
Now that all sounds great during daylight hours but what about at night? The camera is also equipped with night vision and the quality of the images and brightness is excellent and you can see everything as though it were daytime.
Overall the BT Smart Home Cam 100 is an excellent home monitoring device. The picture quality is excellent (day or night), you can easily take snapshots or video recordings of what the camera is seeing
very easily and the sound quality through the camera’s microphone is very clear.
A great device for home security while you are not there or just to monitor that your pets are OK or the kids are back from school OK. This is definitely a device that every home should have.
I am thoroughly impressed with the camera and cannot fault it. You can even set it public so that friends can log in and see through the camera should you wish.
At £100 I think this is definitely value for money due to the high quality picture and ease of use. I love it.
Rating: 5/5
RRP: £99.99

What’s Good To Do Newsletter: Featured Article
Loom Bands seem to be this summer’s latest craze for children
and have become popular all over the world in less than a year
after failing when they were first created in 2011. The idea is
that you use a loom to make rubber bands into brackets, rings,
charms or even skipping ropes. A simple idea that has become
so popular it seems to be creating its own little industry with
books and videos popping up on YouTube and social media
sites showing how to make designs.
Children spend hours creating their designs and also say that
that it is relaxing but lots of schools have started to ban them
because they are distracting pupils, create a mess and in some
cases are even the cause of fights in the playground.
Creating a loom band seems tricky, at least to me, as you have
what looks like a peg board which your attach your rubber
bands to and by using a small hook you weave the different
coloured bands together to create your bracelet in your own
design and colours – I suppose it’s similar to crochet, and even
the Duchess of Cambridge and David Beckham have been
spotted wearing them (it would be interesting to know if they
make them themselves!).
They seem like a great idea to keep children entertained and
off their tablets, phones and games consoles but like all things
need to be done in moderation. They can also be a choking
hazard to small children and animals so care must be taken
and younger children supervised. The bands must be tidied
away properly after use by storing the bands in sealable tubs.
With the school summer holidays fast approaching and
parents all over the UK looking for something to amuse the
children will you be buying a kit for your child to do?
Have you or your children created any yourselves? Send us your pictures to [email protected] and we will put some of the best designs on our Facebook page. We recently had a reviewer and her 8 year old daughter try out Cra-Z-Loom Bracelet Maker, read what they thought http://whatsgoodtodo.co.uk/cra-z-loom-bracelet-maker-review.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Not suitable for children under 36 months. Small parts.
Loom Bands are suitable for children aged 8 years +.
Please store the bands properly after use and keep them away from small children/babies and pets. We recommend storing the bands and any other small parts in re-sealable tubs.

Nightbear
by Rebecca Patterson
RRP: £6.99 | ISBN: 9781780080086
WGTD Rating: 4/5
Nightbear tells the story of a young
bear born in a factory (up north),
their first home and being donated
to a charity shop. The bear hopes
for a new loving owner and
eventually finds one but then

help as the young girl already has

A well-illustrated good read.
Algy’s Amazing Adventures in Space
by Kaye Umansky
RRP: £4.99 | ISBN: 9781444006902 | WGTD Rating: 5/5
The story unfolds as Algy and his friends find themselves
on an adventure in Space which fires the imagination
perfectly . Each chapter the reader is left in suspense,
wanting to move to the next chapter to find out what
happens.
The Oathbreaker’s Shadow
by Amy McCullouch
RRP: £7.99 | ISBN: 9780552566360
WGTD Rating: 5/5
The story follows Raim, a fifteen year old
boy training to become one of the Yun,
the Khan’s personal protection. In Raim’s
world promises are everything, you are
bound to your promise by magic with a
knot and these are not to be taken lightly.
Reneging on a promise leads not only to
physical scarring but scorn from your
people, being outcast into the desert to
Lazar, a place of no return-if you live to
get to it-and tormented by a shadow of
whomever you have wronged for the rest
of your life.
The story is well written and captivates
you with the descriptions of a beautiful
but perilous land, scorching heat from the
desert and a fear for Raim through his
struggle for the truth and
redemption. Readers can almost feel the
heat as Raim toils to find Lazar, the
descriptions of the land are so fluent and
captivating it’s hard not to get so
involved.
