D-Link's new Cloud Camera lets you live out your Real World fantasies

D-Link's really spoiling us with the sheer number of announcements it's been pushing out at this year's CES. The Cloud Camera 5000 is a 720p internet-connected surveillance camera with a motorized pan and tilt base. You can access and control the device from the company's mydlink: a web-based interface that lets you set motion-sensor preferences to trigger recording and email alerts when it spots someone reaching for the cookie jar you've left on top of the refrigerator. There's also the mydlink+ app for iOS and Android that will let you watch your home being burgled from the other side of the world in glorious high definition. As far as we know already, it'll arrive in April and cost $150 (but don't quote us on that just yet). Set your mouse to dive if you go below to check out the PR.
