This little spy tank is app-controlled from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad tablet. It generates its own Wi-Fi connection and has a range of 200 feet.

Whether following friends and family, navigating the office or investigating the activities of your dog, it’s all possible with this audio/visual-enabled and photo-taking Rover. Its built-in microphone transmits sound back to your device in real time. So you can hear everything as it’s being said. The manually adjustable camera streams live video and takes still photos. Giving you total access to see what’s going on in other rooms. Even take pictures as proof. Low-light setting? No problem! The undetectable infrared night vision lets you see items in the dark. Mission. Accomplished. 

Brookstone ($149). (The app is free at iTunes.)
