Annke Crater Pro Review – 4MP PTZ Indoor Camera

ByJames Smythe

I have previously reviewed the Annke Crater and some of their excellent POE cameras, including the NC400 True Full Colour Night Vision camera. The Annke Crater Pro is essentially the same as the previous Crater I reviewed, but the camera sensor has had a significant upgrade and now has a 4MP resolution capable of 2560×1440…

Reolink CX410 is the first true full-colour night vision camera under new ColorX product range.

ByJames Smythe

I have been a big fan of Reolink over the past few years. I have found that they make the best-value POE surveillance cameras on the market. However, other, more expensive options, from the likes of Hikvision, offered superior image quality and superior low-light performance. The ColorVu cameras were all capable of producing colour video…

Best Apple HomeKit Video Doorbells in the UK

ByJames Smythe

Following my review of the excellent Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4, I thought it would be a good idea to see what video doorbells support Apple HomeKit in the UK. I am not personally an Apple user, so it isn’t really something that I have paid too much attention to in the past. While there…

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 Review – The best video doorbell for Apple HomeKit

ByJames Smythe

The Aqara Video Doorbell G4 was announced globally a couple of weeks ago many Aqara and HomeKit users have been waiting impatiently for it. This camera ticks a lot of boxes that popular alternatives from brands like Arlo, Eufy and Ring lack. This is one of the few video doorbells on the market that is…

ByJames Smythe

Aqara is entering the competitive world of smart doorbells with the global launch of the Video Doorbell G4. This is not to be confused with the Ubiquiti UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell but it does make a good alternative product to it.   While some aspects of this doorbell camera look like appealing than the competition,…

ByJames Smythe

Earlier this week, Arlo announced the Arlo Pro 5 for the UK, which is essentially the same as the Arlo Pro 5S that launched in the US a few months ago. The camera is an incremental upgrade to the Arlo Pro 4 I reviewed at the start of 2022. The three main improvements are: During…

Arlo Essential Spotlight Outdoor Security Camera Review vs Arlo Essential XL – How much difference is there with the battery?

ByJames Smythe

I reviewed the Arlo Essential XL back in November. It is basically identical to the Arlo Essential Spotlight I am reviewing today. It is just physically much larger as it accommodates a larger battery. In my Arlo Essential XL review, I did explicitly state that I’d buy the XL over the standard model because there…

Reolink RLC-81MA 4K dual-lens PoE security camera with wide and telephoto lenses announced at CES 2023 + new fisheye cameras

ByJames Smythe

Following on from the Reolink Argus announcement is the new Reolink RLC-81MA. I generally prefer the wired range of cameras from Reolink, and I personally think this is the niche they excel in, with very little competition against them unless you go from more expensive brands like Hikvision.
