The DEFEND 360 Cellular Security Camera is built for the spots most security cameras quietly ignore. Think rural properties, job sites, docks, barns, gates, or that cabin where Wi-Fi is more of a wish than a reality. Priced at $199.99, this new cellular security camera from Tactacam aims to make full-property monitoring possible without wires, routers, or a weekend lost to installation frustration.
The Punkt. MC03 is a smartphone that takes a very deliberate stance on modern tech fatigue. It is designed for people who want a fully functional phone without quietly trading their personal data for convenience. Built in Europe and priced at $699 in the US, the MC03 aims to feel familiar enough to use every day while doing something most phones do not do particularly well: mind its own business.
Baseus may not be a household name in the US (yet), but they have a slate of devices to make your tech run smoother, from security cameras to docking stations and portable batteries for all sorts of setups. They’ve got you covered at home and on the go!
There are many ways to secure your home yourself. Every company with a camera and an app can sell you a home security system. This is not where GEO-SWARM went with their home security plan. They, apparently, were deeply inspired by the movie Home Alone.
Vivint has provided a great ecosystem of home automation and security. They recently announced the Outdoor Camera Pro (Gen 3) and HomeProtect, a premium, professionally monitored security service at a DIY self-monitored price point. These are exciting new additions to their already impressive product offerings and ensure home security continues to improve with their ever-advancing lineup of features and products.
There’s something deeply satisfying about owning your data instead of paying someone else to babysit it in “the cloud.” UGREEN clearly understands that appeal, which is why its new NASync series—headed by the entry-level UGREEN NASync DH2300 and its more robust sibling, the UGREEN NASync DH4300 Plus—promises to make personal network storage feel less like an IT project and more like an everyday convenience.
If your idea of home security is a dim, jittery camera feed and a floodlight that flickers on for every passing moth, it might be time for an upgrade. The new Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi aims to eliminate that kind of guesswork in surveillance. With dual 4K lenses, smart floodlights that adapt to their surroundings, and the ability to understand human language for video searches, this camera isn’t just watching your property, it’s paying attention. And with a starting price of $219.99, it’s not trying to empty your bank account just to do its job.
If you’ve ever spent way too much time scrubbing through hours of footage just to figure out if your motion alert was your neighbor’s cat or something serious, Arlo Secure 6 is about to change your whole approach to home security. This latest update to Arlo‘s Secure subscription service isn’t just a minor refresh. It’s a full-on upgrade that adds a seriously brainy layer to your existing Arlo gear, making your security cameras a lot more helpful and a lot less needy.
Yale is no stranger to making your front door smarter, but this time they’ve teamed up with ADT to add something that’s been strangely missing from the Z-Wave scene: fingerprint access. Starting today, the new Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Z-Wave 800 Series will be available for $279.99 on ADT’s site, and it’s coming in hot with a bag full of tricks that go far beyond just locking and unlocking your door.
Ah, spring. The season of budding flowers, longer days, and—let’s be honest—pollen that’s plotting your demise. While you’re stocking up on allergy meds (Costco’s generic versions are basically a public service at this point), it’s also the time of year when everyone starts thinking about sprucing things up, especially outdoors. And by “sprucing up,” we mean making sure your yard isn’t doubling as the neighborhood’s raccoon rave spot or the unofficial shortcut for door-to-door salespeople. If you’re in the mood to reclaim your turf—and make sure your packages aren’t doing a disappearing act—Arlo has a few gadgets worth checking out.
Having the ability to monitor the outside of your home has become an important technology. Having the ability to monitor without the need for any cords or cables is relatively new, and it is done well with the Aosu SolarCam P1 Max. All of the features found in wired cameras are included and easy to use.
It’s never a bad time to assess your home security. Arlo agrees, and they’re running several sales across multiple retailers throughout the rest of February! This way, you’ll be upgraded, secure, and ready, whether for your next big vacation or just to ensure that Amazon delivery made it on time!
Do you still use a physical key to unlock your door? How 20th-century!

Having some sort of home security system is easier than ever. You can even throw a video doorbell and a few cameras up in just a few minutes of work! There are many options out there, but the U-tec Ulticam IQ series offers a few home security devices that make them stand out from a crowded market.
Becoming an adult means that you get excited about a whole different set of Black Friday deals.

The Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera is designed for those who want seamless, all-day outdoor protection without the hassle of recharging. This floodlight camera offers solid features that make it a standout option, especially for anyone looking to keep their home or property well-lit and monitored. This new wired version builds on the success of Arlo‘s wire-free floodlight but swaps out the need for battery management by connecting directly to your home’s power supply.
It is finally that time of year when the leaves begin to change, and a chill is in the air. Halloween will quickly be upon us, and Vivint is helping get your home into the spirit with custom Halloween Doorbell Chimes and approach chimes. Get your family and friends in the holiday mood and greet trick-or-treaters with some fun options.
At my former home in San Angelo, we had a lovely, glass-paned front door that made everything light and airy during daylight but lacked privacy after dark. We’d begun to avoid the front living room at night, so I added a privacy shade, but operating it was such a pain that we usually left it down. The Home Depot’s new Feather River Smart Glass Doors offer a better, more modern alternative. Pressing a button or giving a voice command to Alexa or Google Assistant switches the door’s glass from clear to opaque for the perfect balance of light and privacy.
