If you’re looking for a simple, yet effective way to secure your home and garden the new OutdoorCam™ from Swann Security might just be what you’re looking for.

This camera is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, and whilst it’s promoted as a entry level security camera, it’s still packed full of benefits.

The first is it’s casing, which is entirely metal. Why is this of such a benefit? Because it means the camera has a sunshield, when outside and a protection from dust inside.

The second is it’s auto light sensor. This nifty feature ensure you get perfect picture, day or night. How is this possible? Because the OutdoorCam automatically switched from clear colour, to black and white night vision at night, which can see an amazing 5 metres!

You can’t deny the camera sounds good can you, but what about the most important bit – viewing the footage?

Well that’s just as good – this camera can easily be used in conjunction with your TV, VCR, DVR, quad processor or LCD monitor, meaning you always know what’s going on.

So how much does a security camera capable of doing all you’d want it to do cost? £200? £100?

Nope. A mere £59.99 from Maplins, which I think you’ll agree is a small price to pay for knowing your house is secure.

That was until the Sandberg USB Headset arrived on the scene because it allows you to do both.

I’ll be honest and admit I never thought this was a real issue but after I played about with a set over the weekend I’ve changed my mind.

The Sandberg USB Headset is a true timesaver.

No longer was I having to plug and unplug cables between Skype calls to listen to my music on the speakers.

The Sandberg USB Headset allowed me to have programs set up to work via one or the other - all possible because the Sandberg USB ChatSet installs in Windows as a separate sound card when the USB connector is inserted.

So would I recommend you buy one?

If you rarely have the sound on when you use your computer and never use things such as Skype then the Sandberg USB Headset isn’t going to be for you.

If however you’re always using VOIP services, playing games and listening to music then the answer is a definitely yes.

In fact once you’ve got it you’ll wonder how you did without!

The Sandberg USB headset retails for £19.99 at Sandberg or £13.11 at Amazon
