Kodak Cherish 685 PTZ Indoor home security camera review

ByJames Smythe

I reviewed the outdoor Kodak PTZ network camera back in July last year, it was a good camera, but it was let down somewhat with the poorly designed software compared to many popular brands such as  Nest, Ring and Arlo. Most recently I have been reviewing their Cherish F685 Home Security Camera which is an indoor PTZ camera…

Kodak Security Network surveillance camera with pan / tilt /zoom review: Model EP101WG

ByJames Smythe

I have reviewed a large number of home security cameras now but the Kodak EP101WG is actually the first model I have tried out with pan / tilt /zoom, so it is an interesting alternative to the many options available nowadays.

Ring Video Doorbell 2 with Chime Pro Review

ByJames Smythe

I have covered a lot of home security products in the past couple of years, and I have always been eager to try one of the Ring products. As I have IP CCTV at home I mainly wanted a Ring Doorbell for its notifications, I live in a reasonably large semi-detached house (thanks to Blackpool’s…

Bavision Mini Home Security Camera Review – iSmartViewPro

On my quest to find affordable alternatives to branded products, I have recently been looking at home security cameras.

ByJames Smythe

The smart home and home security market have boomed over the past year or two, but one security upgrade that hasn’t seen a vast number of products released are home doorbells. In the UK, the only real option is Ring, and all the other choices seem to be low-cost Chinese imports (not that these are…

ByJames Smythe

Recently we have covered the excellent Netgear Arlo and the not quite as good but cheaper Kidde Lync. Today we have the review of Blink Home Security.
