I have been setting these up for use at home for friends and family. Very pleasantly surprised by the image and device quality (in keeping with other Xiaomi products I have). Set up has proven straightforward following the instructions (to follow). May be cheaper if paying in $ with an appropriate CC or app. Remember TCB or Quidco.

it is still EUROPE! EUROPE and European union aren't same thing...omg. England will be ALWAYS in EUROPE. unless you will take this bloody island to America coast.
I recently went for 2 of these and pleasantly surprised how good they were. http://m.gearbest.com/ip-cameras/pp_509131.html
USB powered and for a little bit more you can buy a longer lead. Also paid a few pence for faster delivery and received them after 5 working days. Micro SD card slot for recording.

Hardly a 'hot UK deal'. Why are people voting hot on this?

Tried to order and gearbest site says unable to deliver to your location ?
Image quality it is great, it has a wide lens, motion detection works okay, night vision very good.
Packaging - impeccable!
Body - plastic, good quality.
Cons:
MiHome application it is only partial translated to English. However by watching a demo on youtube it was easy to setup the camera. The camera IT is warm (not hot!) - probably because of the small size the ventilation it is not as good as it should be.
Overall:
At this price is hard to find something better.
Only 4 stars for this product because the MiHome application it is partial translated to English. IMO the effort to translate it properly will benefit the company by making their product more accessible for non - Chinese people.

Anyone buying one should at least be aware of this site - https://github.com/samtap/fang-hacks - replacement firmware which can disable all the phoning home and give you a straight RTSP stream

For anyone who knows about this sort of thing a quick question...
Would this or a similar priced alternative allow me to be alerted to movement (ideally send me an image via an app or email) and let me view a live stream via my mobile whilst I am not connected to the same Wi-Fi network. I will be either on my phone network or on another Wi-Fi network. (Abroad if that makes any diffence.)
Thanks in advance .

Although I've not tried it, comments like this imply that it should work with Open Source Windows software iSpyConnect
