D-Link's mydlink Wi-Fi Water Sensor (DCH-S160) lets you know when water damage is imminent by sending a push notification to your smartphone, but its alarm should be louder.

If you had a problem, call tech support. They are very helpful and are there to resolve any problem.
After ~ 1 year I had a connection problem (Video Stream Lost). Technical support corrected the problem in no time. Remote viewing via iPhone now working Great thanks to tech rep Marvin (AR004612). Thanks Marvin

Consumer review (newegg.com)
Product worked great in keeping an eye out on my family and home while away. These things are JUNK if the firmware/website isn't maintained well. PLEASE FIX!!!
Pan and Tilt features. Can connect by myDlink website or mobile app. Seemed to function as promised, untill.....(see Cons)
Do not upgrade to the latest firmware (1.05_b8)!! Once upgraded all the features that made this product great are LOST! How can D-Link put out a firmware and then state that they are working to correct the issue? Don't they test before putting it out...

I wanted a camera that I could access from my cell phone to keep an eye on my house. D-Links website did all the configuration for me. I downloaded the software and it and it was working in minutes

Review - I use these in my home and they are obviously there, some people notice them and others don't. - They are good camera's for the price, but do have short comings.
Review ; Night vision is very good for this price point ; Configuring the settings for using software other than the D-Link cloud is very flexible ; This camera has a lot of capability ; Price
Review ; 640x480, there are better camera's out there but for the price of this unit you can't really complain ; They are obviously security type cameras, they don't "blend" at all and if you notice it you will know right away what it is
