security camera

REVIEW – Reolink, maker of some of the best security cameras in the business, recently underwent a major rebranding and released several new products. Chief among them is the Reolink Atlas PT Ultra, which I recently had the chance to review. It’s a great camera, but it suffers from one major flaw. What is it? […]

REVIEW – The video quality, resolution, and low light capability of video surveillance equipment continually improve with each innovation in camera sensors.  The Reolink CX810 is the company’s first 4K 8MP resolution PoE IP camera with proprietary ColorX full-color night vision. I have one to review; read on to see what I think! What is

REVIEW – I’m fortunate to have 12 acres of wooded property in a rural area of southern Indiana. I have several wired security cameras mounted on my house and garage, but only recently have I started adding cameras further away from my WiFi’s signal coverage. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to review the

REVIEW – I love knowing what’s happening in and around my home, especially when I’m out and have over a dozen cameras on vigilant duty. There are many times I wish I could see just a little beyond where a camera points. For those times, the SwitchBot Pan/Tilt 3K Cam scratches that Gadgeteer itch with

REVIEW – As someone with experience using the Canary security camera system, I was eager to try out the eufy eufyCam E330 (Professional) 4-Cam Kit to see how it compared to my existing setup. One question I had was whether a subscription-free system like eufy would require any sacrifices in terms of features compared to

REVIEW – I have been a Spotcam customer for about 8 years.  I have tried many of their cameras, of all shapes and sizes, indoor and outdoor.  I still use many of them today inside and outside my house, so I am always interested in what new products they come out with.  Up until now,

REVIEW – Some of my friends think that I am going a bit overboard when it comes to security around my home, but I don’t think so. When I sit in my office/studio, I like to be able to see 360 degrees around my home and to be alerted when someone is near. I also

REVIEW – No matter where you live in the United States, the circumstances of our time demand that we pay attention to our security everywhere we are including at home. When I first purchased my home, I installed approximately 8 Ring cameras that are still installed today. While they work well and provide important alerts,

REVIEW – I’ve been using the Vivint smart home security system for over three years now and have nothing but good things to say about this combination smart home/security system. It’s alerted me to a hot water heater leak in my basement that could have resulted in a BIG mess had I not had water

REVIEW – Last summer, my mother’s pool filter sprung a leak, spewing thousands of gallons of water out onto her lawn in minutes. Had she not been there, the loss could have resulted in losing its prime and damage to the motor. A camera like SwitchBot Outdoor Spotlight cam and remote switch could save the

REVIEW – I have a few WiFi cameras but have a dead spot in my garage right where I wanted to put a camera so when Annke offered their Power over Ethernet (PoE) NightChroma NCPT500 indoor or outdoor security camera for review I decided to try it out. What is it? The Annke NightChroma NCPT500

REVIEW – Once the stuff of George Orwell, video cameras are everywhere as crime deterrents, keeping an eye on kids or pets, and watching for package deliveries. Zosi’s C296 high-resolution camera packs a ton of features at an attractive price. Please join me for a closer look! What is it? Zosi’s C296 is a high-resolution,

REVIEW – My previous security camera has been useful, but after two years of use, I felt as though it didn’t do enough. The Reolink TrackMix PoE review offer came along, and it looked like it would address some of the things I found my ANNKE C800 camera lacked. Read on to find out how

REVIEW – I have used Spotcam cameras for several years now, and all my reviews are here on the Gadgeteer website.  But this is the first Spotcam that I have reviewed that was designed as a “Business Solution”.  It looks quite different than all the other Spotcam cameras that I use, but let’s see how

REVIEW – I have been a SpotCam user for many years and use their cameras all over my house, so every time they come out with a new camera I give it a look.  Today I will be reviewing the new SpotCam Eva Pro, which is an upgrade from the SpotCam Eva 2 that came

REVIEW – Got a baby? No? Need to keep an eye on something, but don’t want to stay in the same room staring at it like a hungry vulture? A full-featured baby monitor like the Annke Tivona expertly fills the gaps that streaming cameras miss. What is it? The Annnke Tivona Baby Monitor is a
