Ubiquiti UniFi Protect G4-Bullet Camera

February 16, 2021 Andrew Van Til

From a numbers perspective the Unifi Protect G4-Bullet camera is a decent bump vs the G3-Bullet, but nothing that would have me pulling out the wallet. Smart Detections on the other hand…

D-Link Introduces Komfy Light Switch Camera

November 19, 2015 Andrew Van Til

If I’m honest, I don’t really get the camera aspect of this light switch. I mean it’s cool and all, but as a light switch is in a fixed location it might not be optimal to monitor the room from where it is. The $299 DKZ-201S is packed with environmental sensors though, so from that perspective it makes a lot […]

NETGEAR Announces Arlo Q Camera

November 18, 2015 Andrew Van Til

NETGEAR had a hit with the initial Arlo wireless cameras, but one of the limitations of the device was that as it relied on batteries continuous recording was a bit out of bounds. The Arlo Q resolves this issue, and ads two-way audio to the mix; making it perfect for monitoring entrances. Of course to do this, AC power is […]

May 14, 2015 Andrew Van Til

Wi-Fi enabled cameras are a great way to monitor areas in the home in a flexible way, so it’s great to see D-Link expanding its product portfolio to include a 802.11AC model – espcially because its power interface is microUSB.

NETGEAR Arlo

March 3, 2015 Andrew Van Til

Where in the past OEMs have happily sold wireless cameras, and the infrastructure to put them on the network, no one has tried to tie it all together into a consumer product that is reliable and easy to use. With the recent release of Arlo, NETGEAR has done exactly that, signaling a strong a desire to build a discrete brand […]

Piper @ CES 2015

January 15, 2015 Andrew Van Til

My first introduction to Piper was at last year’s CES, this year they were back again with an updated night vision version of their innovative Z-Wave home automation controller/camera. The Piper NV (for night vision) also upgrades the ARM processor (allowing for more imaging processing options), sensor (to 3.4MP), and ups the field of view to 180 degrees. Naturally the […]

November 5, 2014 Andrew Van Til

The rapid expansion of products in the Home Automation (HA) space this year has been amazing. As the “Internet of Things” gains ground, OEMs who have only dabbled in the past are focusing more on delivering holistic solutions. Today, NETGEAR becomes one of these vendors with their Arlo product line. Currently this only manifests as wireless video monitoring solution that […]

D-Link @ CES 2014

January 14, 2014 Andrew Van Til

Oddly enough D-Link’s main product showing at CES this year wasn’t in networking, but cameras. My favorite was one that is intended for use as a baby monitor. I know that might sound a bit strange, but it’s all about the sensors – it includes audio and temperature beside the camera. Having a device like that would be slick in […]
