Honest reviews and real opinions — no sponsored fluff. I test gadgets, smart home tech, and apps so you know exactly what you’re buying. 20 years in market research means I read the data, not the marketing copy.

You only need 3 things:

Wide Angle Lens for smartphones
Super Glue
Your IP Camera/ CCTV with small lens hole

What you will get = 160 degree view IP Camera (Normally IP cameras are 60 degree view only)
