Security camera

Can anyone recommend a small, motion activated IP camera that will email me pictures when it detects movement?

Plan is to set it up behind the TV facing the front door so that if anyone enters when I am not home, I will know about it and will get pictures, so something square/ box and discrete would be best.

As it is behind the TV I can plug it in quite easily so power shouldn't be a problem.

I would put this in General Hardware but this feels like it might be a better place!

Thanks

Xiaomi home camera would do the trick, it's basically identical to the Nest Camera but a fraction of the price.

I run one to keep an eye on my car.

This looks like something that is in the right ball park. Is it wifi enabled?

Yep, powered by USB and connects to your wireless network.

How would he know, there's no camera in situ yet.

If you've got an old Android phone lying around there are loads of apps which do exactly that.
