TAPO CP500 outdoor pan and tilt security camera review

The Tapo CP500 outdoor pan and tilt security camera is a budget security camera with many features of high end cameras including a 360 degree view on board and also comes with a patrol feature.

This has several mounting options making it more versatile for placement depending on where you want it which is excellent.

This will take about 5 minutes to install and set up including the app which is simple to use has a nice UI and nothng to cumbersome in the menu structure to find features.

You have the ability to expand storge via sd card or use their cloud options which come at a cost like most security cameras these days and there is no sd card in the box.

This is a wired camera so you must be wise on where it is stored for cable worries and again the wire is not the longest on this one like many of tapos wired cameras but most should be fine.

The camera offers many good features for the price and has great night vision you can make zones timed patrols you can pan an tilt it on the fly and it also follows objects once set up which is an excellent feature to track something that could be an intruder for example of your postman dropping a package over the side gate.

There is a siren sepaker and spotlight on the security camera which is also usefull you can see all these in action in the full hands on video review below along with a full demo of the app and features

The video quality is quite good even at night giving you good detail overall and footage which can be downloaded and shared or stored on device and for the money this is a great option for those who want peace of mind if away or just general security for their home.

Nank Clip Super clip-on earbuds review

The Nank Clip Super clip-on earbuds are the latest clip-on earbuds to hit the market which have become popular now and after reviewing some 50 pairs at this stage I kind alike them myself, when they first arrived on the scene I was not the biggest fan but this  has changed over the last year and I am now a fan.

The style we get here is similar to others but have a pillow like shape to the hardwear on one side and pearl shaped on the other that sitsinto your esr with directional speakers.

You will not get ANC with these but they will isoalte some sound indoors is perfect for them when maxed out and you will be hearing very little outside what you listen to and enjoy immersive audio in quiter areas.

Having said this these clip-ons are great for outdoor and more so you can hear what is going on around you which is not a bad thing, if you want outdoor noise cancelling buds these are not for you but if you want to hear your surrounding and good audio these are for you they are secure one clipped on correctly.

For the audio these deliver good sound with the 16.2mm ceramic drivers despite no app as of now hopefully in the next iteration there will be so you are stuck with what you get out of the box however the sound is good overall with no tinny sound or lag latency during my testing I was pleased with the audio and taking into consideration the design here they pack a real puch and highs lows and mids all sound good and have a decent volume, call where also fine on these it has to be said.

Battey life is solid for the style of earbud giving you up to 32 hours of charge and come with wireless charging. Overall for the price there is much on offer and they look good and sound good.

Reolink Launches TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi with 360-Degree Coverage

Reolink, an innovative leader in intelligent visual technology for the home and business, has announced today the launch of the TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi, a dual-lens 4K PTZ floodlight camera with local AI video search. As the newest member of Reolink’s floodlight cam series, the hardwired TrackFlex is now available for purchase in the U.S. with a retail price starting from 259.99 USD on Reolink.com and Amazon – all without subscription fees.

Award Winning Innovation

Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi made a strong debut at IFA Berlin 2025, winning the IFA Innovation Awards Honoree, and a total of 19 “Best of IFA 2025” awards from top mass media and tech outlets, including TechRadar’s Best of IFA 2025 Award, and the BGR IFA Innovation Award 2025. The camera was highly praised for its innovative approach to solving long-standing pain points in conventional security cameras—such as limited horizontal visibility and loss of fine details. Combined with 4K clarity, 360-degree horizontal coverage and auto-zoom tracking, TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi delivers a convenient and thoughtful monitoring experience, ensuring full property coverage with zero blind spots. For more details, please refer to a comprehensive TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi review, as well as a TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi vs. Elite Floodlight WiFi comparison, highlighting the key differences between the two models.

Two Lens, Two Views, One Screen

TrackFlex features an advanced 2-in-1 dual-lens design, offering 360-degree coverage to capture wide areas such as yards and driveways with precision. The dual-lens system autonomously switches between focal lengths to track moving subjects seamlessly. This ensures users can capture crystal-clear detail both near and far, eliminating the blurry focus lag typical of conventional single-lens cameras. Both the expansive wide-angle view powered by the 4K lens and the close-up detail view enabled by the 6x hybrid lens are displayed simultaneously on one screen in the Reolink App, giving users a truly comprehensive monitoring perspective.

3000 Lumens of Nighttime Security

TrackFlex boasts up to 3000 industry-leading Lumens Dimmable LEDs, delivering crisp, vibrant, full-color footage without the common issues of detail and color loss in low-light conditions. Its powerful brightness is combined with a 110-decibel automatic siren to deter potential intruders. Additionally, the camera supports adjustable color temperature settings(6500K cool light or 3000K warm light), giving users the flexibility to customize the lighting based on the preferences. Users have the option to manually adjust the lighting or let the automatic setting select the best option according to ambient light, offering convenient adaptability.

Find Fast, Stay Private

TrackFlex is powered by the cutting-edge ReoNeura™ AI system, featuring the Local AI Video Search. This on-device AI feature enables users to quickly retrieve relevant videos through text descriptions like “man in a blue shirt,” removing the need for time-consuming manual searches. The system can automatically identify people, vehicles, animals, and even packages, directly exporting the desired videos. All processing is done locally on the device, ensuring privacy and avoiding any extra costs.

Out-of-View Detection

Another standout feature that sets TrackFlex apart is its 270-degree Out-of-View Detection. Thanks to the built-in array of three passive infrared (PIR) sensors, the camera can continuously detect motion at distances ranging from 2 to 10 meters within the ultra-wide 270-degree zone, ensuring hidden activities are promptly captured for enhanced security. When mounted at the ideal height of 2 to 3 meters, it provides broad coverage, offering reliable and precise security across large areas.
