ByJames Smythe

I have previously reviewed the EufyCam E and the EufyCam 2C, with the 2C being my favourite wireless surveillance camera to date.

ByJames Smythe

The Hikvision DS-2CD2386G2-I is one…

Ezviz C3A HD 1080P Wire-Free Security Camera Review

ByJames Smythe

I have reviewed a lot of Ezviz products in the past year, or so, they have one of the most comprehensive ranges of home surveillance on the market. One thing they did not have was a battery-powered wireless camera, which is a little odd considering how popular this market is. Now that has changed with…

ByJames Smythe

Anybody that has ever watched a cooking show will be aware of sous vide cooking. The name makes it sound pretentious, and then the concept of cooking your food in a plastic bag of water doesn’t sound all that appealing.
