70mai A810 Lite 4K Dash Cam Review: Check Out This Feature-Rich, Compact Dash Camera!

Whether it’s combating insurance companies or just monitoring the driving of new drivers, dash cameras are incredibly useful tools. The 70mai A810 Lite 4K Dash Cam is a small but very full-featured dash camera that has held up very well over the past month of usage in some very sunny and hot weather and multi-state road trips. This is the second dash camera I’ve owned, and it has been a solid performer.

XTU S7 Pro Action Camera Review: Dual-Screen, Wi-Fi Action Camera That Punches Way Above Its Class

XTU manufactures a range of cameras, including a trail camera, smart doorbell camera, dashcam, and its new flagship action camera, the XTU S7 Pro, which offers some impressive specifications, especially for an action camera priced in the middle of the market. The action camera category has grown significantly in recent years, with models ranging from under $100 to more than $700. Any newcomer will inevitably be compared with higher-end options from GoPro, DJI, and Insta360, many of which cost two to three times as much as the S7 Pro. So, how does this more affordable action camera stack up?

OSCAL PowerMax 6000 Review: Serious 120/240V Backup Power for Home, RV, and Off-Grid Use

Calling the OSCAL PowerMax 6000 “portable” is technically accurate in the same way that calling a washing machine on a dolly portable is accurate. At 101.4 pounds, this isn’t something you’ll casually carry from the garage to a campsite. Fortunately, OSCAL has fitted it with wheels, sturdy handles, and a retractable trolley handle, making it reasonably manageable once it’s on the ground. That substantial weight buys you a 3,600-watt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery, 120- and 240-volt outputs, enough inverter capacity to operate demanding appliances and tools, rapid recharging, and support for up to 15 BP3600 expansion batteries.

BlueParrott Pro B450 Review: A Dream Wireless Headset for Truckers

It is hard to drive and stay connected these days safely. In some states, it’s illegal to have a phone in your hand while driving (which it should be); other states take it a step further and make it illegal to even look at your phone at a red light. While most newer vehicles have an array of screens and other wireless capabilities, most of the larger commercial trucks on the road don’t have that fancy technology. The BlueParrott Pro B450 makes it easy to stay connected hands-free with a customizable button, rotating mic boom, and active noise canceling. The…

Quntis 3-Stage Foldable Desk Lamp Review: Big, Bright, and Built to Bend

The Quntis 3-Stage Foldable Desk Lamp is an interesting option for anyone who needs more than a small pool of light on their desk.

Add a sturdy metal clamp, adjustable brightness and color temperature, a remote control, and a rear backlight, and this lamp has a lot going for it. Let’s take a closer look.

MOBI Smart WiFi Automatic Pill Dispenser Review: Get Nagged About Taking Your Meds Correctly and on Time!

Do you enjoy getting older? Neither do I—who does? As we get older, health issues can become more prominent, leading to taking more medicine. I do not enjoy looking at the bottles of pills I have to take daily because of an inherited lung condition. Not only do I abhor taking so many drugs, but it can also get confusing because this pill is once a day and this pill is two times and … you get the idea. What can help is a pill manager, such as the MOBI Smart WiFi Automatic Pill Dispenser.

ROKR has taken its model-kit expertise and pointed it at something most people don’t expect from a 3D puzzle company: a working pinball machine. The ROKR Dinosaur Lab Pinball MGP01 is a 319-piece kit that turns into a fully playable desktop pinball game with mechanical flippers, a real bumper that fires the ball back at you, lighting effects, and a soundtrack that borrows liberally from a certain island theme park movie.

Wyze Cam Pan v4 and Wyze Duo Cam Pan Indoor/Outdoor Security Cameras Review: Budget Cams with Premium Features

I may have an unhealthy fascination with security cameras. I currently have 5 PoE cameras and 4 cellular trail cams on my property. Even though I work from home these days, I still like receiving notifications when the UPS or FedEx driver pulls up with my latest review sample or when a 5-point buck walks into our meadow. When offers for new security cameras come up for review, I’m always interested, so the latest cameras that I’ve set up and tested are the Wyze Duo Cam Pan and Wyze Cam Pan v4 indoor/outdoor cameras.
