I have reviewed a few EZVIZ products in recent months, their Floodlight camera was particularly good, and the indoor camera is working well for me in my garage. The most recent product is the Full HD Outdoor Cam which is technically a wireless camera but requires a power cable, then wireless for data connectivity. For…
Ezviz has an ever-expanding range of affordable security cameras that can compete with more well-known brands. However, Ezviz is owned by Hikvision, the world’s largest supplier of video surveillance products so this is not some no-name brand you often find on Amazon. I have reviewed three cameras from Ezviz now, the most recent, the Floodlight…
Yale has finally started moving away from the old-fashioned DVR style CCTV systems they used to sell, and have finally embraced WiFi cameras. To be honest, I wish more consumer brands did POE wired cameras too, but that is another matter. I previously reviewed the HD1080 All-in-One – Indoor/Outdoor Camera, and found it to be…
It has been nearly two years since I reviewed the original Blink XT. Since then many new products have hit the market to contend with this outdoor security camera, but many have failed to offer the same level of value this low-cost camera achieves. Since I reviewed it, they were bought out by Amazon, and…
It is safe to say that the home security camera market is a little saturated nowadays. Things seemed to escalate quickly when cheap IP CCTV cameras came to the market, and I still use the Ezviz EZ-C3S-Wi-Fi today. Once companies like Arlo introduced wire-free solutions, the market boomed, it was now affordable and easy to…
One of the big issues with wireless CCTV cameras is the regular need to charge or replace the batteries. With some companies, like Eufy, you can go several months between charges, while Reolink offers a solar adaptor to provide some extra juice. The Soliom Solar Cam follows a similar concept as Reolink, but the solar…
*This review has been updated to reflect the new firmware which addresses my main gripe with motion detection* In the past few years, the wire free outdoor camera market has boomed there are now dozens of options on Amazon. I have recently reviewed the Ring Spotlight, Eufy E, and D-Link, all of them being great…
I am a huge fan of the Ring Doorbell 2, as someone that gets a lot of deliveries, I get notified by my watch, phone, Alexa, and Chimes when someone is at the door whilst letting me see who it is when I am away. In the future, I will hopefully integrate this with a…
The Netatmo Presence has been out for a few years now, making Netatmo well ahead of the curve for wired outdoor surveillance cameras with a floodlight. It is only the past year or so that we have seen options from Ring, Arlo and Yale offering similar functionality. Similar to their indoor Welcome camera, the Presence…
While I have reviewed a few indoor cameras, they are never something I am particularly interested in for personal use. There are two people in our house, no kids, no pets, and I am anti-social. So, I don’t really want or need a camera pointing at me all the time. The Netatmo Welcome is different…
Conveniently following on from the Anker Eufy E review, I have also been checking out the new D-Link Wire-Free Camera Kit. Functionally this is very similar to the Eufy E, and the Arlo Pro which both of these systems will be trying to steal some of the market share from. The D-Link has an RRP…
Recently, Anker’s sub-brand Eufy released a new wire-free outdoor security camera solution which hopes to gain some traction in an increasingly competitive market. Price at £319.99 but currently available with £20 off, the eufyCam E Security Camera claims to be able to achieve 365 days between charges and 3 years in Standby Mode. Off the…
