For those who are wondering, an IP Cam is basically a webcam that's used for home or office surveillance. It's connected to the internet and it allows you to check what's happening inside your house or workspace from a remote location be it via a computer or a mobile device like your smartphone or tablet.

There are various types of IP Cams - in terms of features and capabilities - that are available in the market but I find that iPCam100 from Pinoy electronics company Playground.PH is one of the best out there.

Before I give you five key features of this product, let me share with you five reasons why you should consider getting a good IP Cam for your own home:

1. Security - You can monitor your home anytime, anywhere using an IP Cam. High-quality models can even notify you of changes in temperature, sudden movements and noise inside your house via your smartphone.

2. Family Monitoring - Even if you're away from home, you will still have eyes and ears on your family. Check if they're asleep, if they're safe, and if they're having fun; You never miss the moment. You can even record the videos and images on an SD card, so you get to keep the memories.

3. Peace of Mind at Night - Feel secure even if you're asleep as a good IP Cam has eyes on even on a dark night. The device monitors, records, and even notifies you if there are any unexpected or unnecessary noise and movement.

4. It's hassle-free anyway, so why not? - Great IP Cams are designed for easy installation -- even by those who are not too techy. Just follow the simple instructions on the manual enclosed, and you're good to go. No need to pay for installation.

5. Communication - Most modern IP Cams have a microphone, loud speaker, and partner mobile app that allows you to communicate with your family even when you're miles away. Just access the app on your smartphone, tap, and talk.

All of these key factors make iPCam100 one of the best IP cameras that's available for retail here in the Philippines. And what's even cooler is that, with its price tag of only Php 4,990, it's also one of the most affordable models that you can get locally. I highly recommend it.
