Reolink RLC-823A 16X Review: 4K PoE IP Camera with 16X PTZ

The Reolink RLC-823A 16X was launched earlier this year, and as the name suggests, it is essentially the same as the existing Reolink RLC-823A, but the zoom has been increased to 16x vs 5x. This is the most expensive camera Reolink does. I would say that it is quite a niche camera as the zoom…

Nitecore NU25 UL Headlamp Review – An excellent headlamp for runners

Following on from my previous reviews of the Nitecore MH12 Pro and EDC27 EDC flashlight, my last Nitecore review is for the NU25 UL headlamp.

Following on from my review of the excellent Nitecore MH12 Pro flashlight, I have also been using the Nitecore EDC27. This is a slim flashlight that’s designed for everyday carry (EDC).

Eufy Floodlight Camera E340 Review vs S330 Floodlight Cam 2 Pro

I reviewed the superb Eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro two years ago, which now seems to be called the Eufy Floodlight Camera S330. I continued to use it until recently, and it has been my favourite floodlight camera up until now. Recently, Eufy announced the new Eufy Floodlight Camera E340, which is a dual-lens…

Annke NightChroma NCPT500 Review – 3K Pan Tilt PoE Security Camera with Colour Night Vision

I have previously been impressed with some of the surveillance cameras from Annke. The Annke NC400 that I reviewed back in 2021 was a highlight, providing true colour night vision for under £100. Reolink, who I consistently praise, have only just released their first ColorX 4MP colour night vision. The Annke NightChroma NCPT500 appears to…

Meross MSP843P Smart Fast Charging Power Strip Review – Smart Extension Lead with 65W Power Delivery USB-C & HomeKit / Home Assistant

While many brands out there have smart plug sockets, there are only a handful of options for smart power strips. TP-Link Kasa is the best-known brand that has a smart power strip, with the KP303, which is a three-plug strip and two USB-A ports.

1MORE Penta Driver P50 Review – Wired Earbuds with DLC Dynamic Driver & 4 Planar Diaphragm Drivers

I originally reviewed the 1MORE E1001 triple drive earbuds back in 2017 when wired earbuds were much more common. While true wireless earbuds dominate the market, many audiophiles refuse to give up on their wired earbuds due to the improved audio quality that a wire provides vs the compression of Bluetooth. 1MORE is one of…
