Tweet

WowWee, who are no strangers either to the site or TFTS Towers, have detailed a new model in their ever expanding range of robotic devices in the form of the WowWee Spyball which serves as a robotic webcam (more of a spycam, actually) that connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi to your home network allowing you to parade around your home, snooping on your family/Fido the Wonderdog/the burglar either whist cooped up in your computer room or whilst away at the office via the net.

The Spyball spy-cam is a remote controlled, Wi-Fi enabled, transforming robotic ball that introduces an element of play to telepresence functionality. Affordable, easy-to-use, and rechargeable, the Spyball spy-cam captures video and still images and is equipped with sleek wheels for fast, smooth mobility and 360-degree turns.

Transforming from ball to camera and back again, the Spyball spy-cam moves with stealth and in disguise – perfect for spying on siblings or peeking into the kitchen. There is no need to access the Internet to see what the Spyball spycam sees – users can make an Ad hoc connection via any Wi-Fi-enabled device including a PC, laptop, video game console or even a cell phone. The included USB cable allows users to configure a simple home network setup process that will allow the Spyball spycam to be controlled from any remote location via the Internet.

No word concerning pricing at the time of writing though the WowWee Spyball Spycam is scheduled for an 09 release during ‘the holiday shopping season’.
