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.

Sony with others developing network capable of delivering GB size data by @Tiwaash

In this era of high speed connectivity after Samsung now it’s Sony which has joined the race of developing high speed data transfer wireless network. Sony has announced that it has partnered with Tokyo Tech, Japan Radio and KDDI Labs to jointly develop and implement 40 GHz and 60 GHz wave-based high-throughput wireless access network that combines 40 GHz operation for outdoor networks with 60 GHz operation for mobiles to enable large data size content delivery on the gigabyte scale.

“This system provides a way to introduce a high-throughput communication service to next-generation networks using millimeter wave (mmWave)-based wireless systems and also enables efficient use of the mmWave communication band, which is much less crowded than the wavebands below 6 GHz,” said the company.

In the 40 GHz band wireless access system, the directional division duplex (DDD) system is adopted to perform simultaneous two-way communication on the same frequency and the same polarized wave, rather than the conventional frequency division duplex (FDD) or time division duplex (TDD) methods; DDD doubled the frequency utilization efficiency in principle.

The 60 GHz wireless transfer system using the developed wireless module and file transfer system demonstrated the world’s fastest user data rate of 6.1 Gbps (which can transfer a 1 GB file in 1.3 s). The system enables users to receive large quantities of data in moments, without the low data throughput limitations of current commercial mobile devices.

These partners will demonstrate the wireless data transfer tech through open experiments at the Mobile Communication Workshop held at Tokyo Tech from March 2nd till 4th, 2016.

Stay tuned for more tech buzz.
