Meross Outdoor Smart Plug Review – MSS620HK

I have previously reviewed the superb Meross MSP843P smart fast charging power strip, which is the only smart extension lead I am aware of that has a 65W power delivery USB-C plug. The Meross MSS620HK is advertised as being an outdoor smart plug thanks to its durable design and IP44 rating. I think the overall…

Geekom Mini IT13 Mini PC Review: The first mini PC with the Intel Core i9-13900H

I have previously reviewed the Geekom Mini IT11 and IT8 and have been sold on the idea of a mini-PC ever since. These are versatile computers ideal for work PCs, HTPCs, or a variety of server applications such as Home Assistant or a Plex media server. I don’t think I need to sell the idea…

Creative Sound Blaster Katana SE Soundbar Review – RGB soundbar with USB and HDMI Arc connectivity

Creative announced the Sound Blaster Katana SE in June, which sits between the Katana V2 and V2X in pricing. Unlike the other Katana soundbars, Creative have condensed all the speakers into the soundbar itself, omitting the need for a dedicated subwoofer and increasing the driver size and power to allow this soundbar to achieve impressive…

Reolink RLC-823A 16X Review: 4K PoE IP Camera with 16X PTZ

The Reolink RLC-823A 16X was launched earlier this year, and as the name suggests, it is essentially the same as the existing Reolink RLC-823A, but the zoom has been increased to 16x vs 5x. This is the most expensive camera Reolink does. I would say that it is quite a niche camera as the zoom…

Nitecore NU25 UL Headlamp Review – An excellent headlamp for runners

Following on from my previous reviews of the Nitecore MH12 Pro and EDC27 EDC flashlight, my last Nitecore review is for the NU25 UL headlamp.

Nitecore EDC27 Slim Flashlight Review – Every Day Carry Flashlight with 1000 lumen output & 3000 lumen strobe

Following on from my review of the excellent Nitecore MH12 Pro flashlight, I have also been using the Nitecore EDC27. This is a slim flashlight that’s designed for everyday carry (EDC). It is a similar price to the Nitecore EDC27, but its flat design and built-in clip makes it more convenient to carry around with…

Eufy Floodlight Camera E340 Review vs S330 Floodlight Cam 2 Pro

I reviewed the superb Eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro two years ago, which now seems to be called the Eufy Floodlight Camera S330. I continued to use it until recently, and it has been my favourite floodlight camera up until now. Recently, Eufy announced the new Eufy Floodlight Camera E340, which is a dual-lens…

Annke NightChroma NCPT500 Review – 3K Pan Tilt PoE Security Camera with Colour Night Vision

I have previously been impressed with some of the surveillance cameras from Annke. The Annke NC400 that I reviewed back in 2021 was a highlight, providing true colour night vision for under £100. Reolink, who I consistently praise, have only just released their first ColorX 4MP colour night vision. The Annke NightChroma NCPT500 appears to…
