eufy SoloCam S40 Solar Camera Review

The eufy SoloCam S40 is an excellent camera with software features not found in many consumer level surveillance cameras.  It’s a solar powered camera that works incredibly well.  No cables for power and no batteries needed. This is the first camera from eufy that we’ve reviewed and it’s very impressive.  The software is refined and the camera is well made.  For those that never heard of eufy before, it’s the same company that makes Anker cables and batteries. Unlike the Blink Outdoor Camera, this has a solar battery that is constantly recharged.  No need to ever change the battery! Software … Read more

Blink Mini Goes Traditional with Wired Connectivity

by

The opportunity to review the Blink Mini Indoor Smart Security Camera was greeted as a welcome diversion from all the scary pandemic news.  Breaking away from their traditional wireless battery powered cameras, Blink decided to give the traditional wired model a shot.  They did a nice job. We encountered the first generation from Blink several years ago.  The Blink Home Security System was a their first generation and is still their wireless indoor camera offering as of April, 2020.  Two additional wireless entries were introduced including the Blink XT and Blink XT2.  Both are suitable as indoor or outdoor wireless … Read more

Blink Outdoor 4 Security Camera is a Little Bigger and a Little Better

by

The Blink Outdoor 4 Security Camera is the next iteration of the company’s very successful line of surveillance cameras.

Wyze Cam v3 Review

by

The Wyze Cam v3 is the third iteration of the company’s very well priced home security camera line.  It may look very similar to the previous generations but it’s vastly improved specs and outdoor usability make this a steal. We’ve looked at several Wyze Cams in the past including the original Wyze Cam, Wyze Cam v2 and Wyze Cam Pan.  Each had little to complain about, especially given the price point of each camera.
