The Motion Tracking Web Camera ($90) automatically detects and tracks motion and can be controlled from anywhere in the world using the Internet for real-time surveillance of your home, office and more. It pans up to 180° and tilts up to 60° to follow and record movement, captures 640 x 480 resolution video at 30 frames per second, has a 4X digital zoom and features a built-in microphone to record sound from up to 20' away. It can be manually controlled from a remote computer using the included software and can even be set to automatically email you when it detects motion.

This device not only gives peace-of-mind to vacationers and frequent business travelers who want to check in and make sure everything is fine when away from home, but it could also be used as a high-tech baby monitor, a babysitter watcher or just a fun spy cam. Since this webcam can move and track your motion, it also frees you from the chair and lets you get up and walk about the room as you speak with friends and family over the web. I'm sure there are many other innovative uses for a cool webcam like this, so let us know in the Comments if you have any suggestions. (via Michael Kiely)
