The Poly Studio P5 is a solid and robust 1080p HD webcam, weighing in at just 68 grams. This lightweight design ensures that it won’t overpower your laptop screen. Compatible with major operating systems, the P5 comes equipped with an integrated microphone optimised for video calls. It connects easily via a USB cable, making it a convenient addition to any workspace. The webcam also features a mechanical privacy shutter, providing peace of mind when not in use.
Manufacturer Background
At Techbuzz Ireland, we have reviewed a variety of products from Plantronics, Poly, and HP, including their well-known Poly Voyager headsets, printers, and cameras. In 2018, Polycom was acquired by Plantronics, and in 2019, the combined entity was rebranded as Poly. The company was sold to HP in 2022, which has since integrated Poly’s offerings into its support channels.

Setup:
Setting up the Poly Studio P5 is minimalistic and straightforward thanks to its plug-and-play functionality. I connected it directly to a Windows USB-A port, and it automatically set itself as the default device during an MS Teams call, including audio. Poly Lens
Desktop App (Windows Only)
The Poly Lens Desktop app allows you to configure and manage your Poly audio and video devices while enhancing your work environment with wellbeing reminders. However, I found the software interface somewhat outdated compared to modern standards. Although the camera performed well technically, it lacked the advanced features I would expect from HP/Poly. For instance, when attempting to update the software, the app indicated that a new version was available, yet none could be found.
Warranty – 2 years
Conclusion
As anticipated from HP/Poly products, the plug-and-play functionality of the Studio P5 worked seamlessly without any issues. The build quality is commendable; however, an upgrade to a USB-C cable instead of USB-A would be beneficial for modern setups. While the camera does not include a carry case—something that would be advantageous for hybrid working environments—the essential features are well-executed.The camera delivers excellent performance with quality optics, low-light compensation, and pro-grade resolution at 1080p. The four times digital zoom and directional microphone ensure a personalised video conferencing experience without requiring extensive technical setup. Overall, the Poly Studio P5 USB-A webcam offers good picture quality and audio performance even in challenging lighting conditions. It is an ideal choice for users seeking a reliable and straightforward solution for video calls and online meetings at a reasonable price point.

I am no stranger to E-Scooters ( Electric Scooters) now and have owned several over the years and are quite handy for going to the local shops or even further depending on the range to do certain jobs and for me a break from the Benz and getting fresh air on the way too.
E-Scooters are also great for that last mile journey but it has took years to get laws passed and so on and now thmarkey are banned from buses and trains which might be good news for some due to some taking up space and so on but they are citing batteries and not having the CE mark now for fire hazzards on public transport which is utter bullshit since they are still allowing electric bikes on.
OK they can and are a nuisance like cyclists there with a select cohort out there that do not care nor obey the rules and that will always be the case and the same for motorists and is just a part of society in general but for the most they are a really cool piece of kit to get to work and more for many people as you would see on your commute both in the evenings and mornings and anytime of the day in fact.
I also own a mountain bike which I use but when doing things local when I am home and especially the weekend it is the e-scooter or bike for anything local which would be alot in fairness and it is basically free to do rather than take out the big merc and do the same thing that costs a tenner to go to the shop.
So LOCO is an Irish company and as most people say is support local business and in these times with this product it is right due to the amount of e-scooters here that can travel as fast as cars and e-bikes which is not untrue this company goes by the rules and sticks by them.
Who is LOCO
Founded in 2020 by friends, Jason and Paddy, on the belief that transportation should be not only efficient but also eco-friendly, we embarked on a mission to provide convenient, fun, and environmentally conscious solutions for modern city living. With our expertise in engineering and design, we’ve curated and crafted a range of electric scooters that marry style with functionality, delivering an unparalleled riding experience for our customers.
But LOCO is more than just a retailer and electric scooter manufacturer – we’re a community of enthusiasts dedicated to reshaping the way people move around urban landscapes. Whether you’re zipping through busy streets, exploring scenic paths, or simply cruising to your favourite café, our electric scooters are your trusted companion, offering reliability, agility, and zero emissions every step of the way. You can read more about them here.
The company sent us their LOCO Motion Pro for review and asked for an honest review and those who follow me now at this stage you know you get what I see good and bad and we have been testing this out for some time now and we are here to tell you some more about it.
Setting up is quick and hassle free more or less after you screw in the handlebar section and this I like as almost out of the box it is power on and and you are on the move straight away if there is enough charge there, you get two NFC keys and you can download the Green Drive App seen below and you are good to go.
You get all the bells and whistles here no pun intended so to speak with lights galore it is probably one of the most robust e-scooters I have seen, tested or tried out it is heavy but that is not really an issue if you do not need to lift anywhere, the deck you stand on is super grippy and this is important and you will not be slipping off this one and it is wide enough for those with big feet like me.
The handlebars are grippy and feel nice along with the throttle and brake handle, there is a small turning bell there but it is loud enough for people to hear without headphone or earbuds but you also have a light up front you can use. There is a small easy to read dashboard that compliments the app.
The wheels are solid and thicker (10 Inches) than others meaning better grip and less incidents of falling through small gaps.
Up front there is a dual suspension which is really cool none of my prior models have had this as an early adopter and this makes the ride more comfortable, there is three reflectors up front but no indicators like the rear which could be added I guess via third party offerings if you want them.
On the rear there are indicators a tail/brake light and reflectors alongside the motor and like the front has a mudguard which is excellent and are quite easy to see and be noticed day or night.
The ride so to speak is solid and comfortable here with the suspension up front and after testing this over rough ground maxing out the speed you ain’t falling of the deck as this is perfect and very grippy, the brakes are also solid too and wont flip you over the handlebars either and it is easy to maintain the balance on it.
The thicker tyres have been put through their paces too with random sharp turns etc and I did not budge even at high speeds and again this is a heavy e-scooter with a wide deck so it all balances out really well here.
Overall this is one of the best I have tested myself alongside others I had myself or friends of late and even though it is expensive you get what you pay for in the end and you know the old saying pay cheap pay twice this is not the case here though.

We are so confident that if your LOCO Motion Pro gets water damaged, we will replace it for free. It’s no secret that Irish weather is unpredictable, so we’ve got a fully waterproof electric scooter to meet the needs of commuters in Ireland.
Anti-Theft
Each LOCO Motion Pro electric scooter comes with two unique LOCO NFC cards, and your LOCO Motion Pro will not turn on until you tap one of your LOCO cards on the display. You can also lock the motor electronically using a mobile app, which prevents anyone from pushing the scooter, even when turned off.

Climbing Hills
A super-powerful 400w brushless DC motor in the rear wheel delivers an exceptionally smooth ride, and hills are no match for this electric scooter. Similarly, the large rear wheel drive means that the LOCO Motion Pro is equipped to move a heavier load than most electric scooters, with its max load of 120kg. Say goodbye to electric scooters that slow down going uphill and struggle under heavier rider weight and say hello to a seamless and effortless new mode of transport.
Suspension
Front fork suspension ensures that no matter what the road surface under you is like, the LOCO Motion Pro will get you there smoothly and safely. Stop worrying about potholes and uneven surfaces and think about what you’re going to do with all the spare time you’re going to have that you didn’t spend sitting in traffic.
Foldable
A simple to use, one-handed folding system allows you to collapse the steering pole, folding the scooter in half. A hook & receiver then secures the scooter in the folded position so that you can pick it up and carry it by the steering pole, making it very easy to lift on an off the bus, train, tram or in and out of your home or car.
Warranty
Our unmatched 2 year warranty on the LOCO Motion Pro has got you covered. We’re covering all original manufacturer defects for 2 years and that includes water damage. Our electric scooter repair centre in Dublin 15 is rated 5 stars on Trustpilot and it’s no wonder we are Ireland’s favourite electric scooter retailer, repair centre and now manufacturer. We hold stock of all spare parts for the LOCO Motion Pro, from the battery to the smallest nuts and bolts, we’ve got it all so you don’t have to wait. Why not add an extended warranty to your new LOCO Motion Pro, taking your warranty up to a whopping 3 years!

The emporia SMART.6 lite smartphone is one of their latest devices to their portfolio of simple to use phones for the older generation amongst us which is great as technology is now being embraced by such and not only that some situations in life now require such devices at hand to do certain things.
emporia have been leaders in this area with smartphones offering a variety of easy to use devices in which takes away the convoluted mess people have to go through for setting up and more and making it simple to use and set up to each individual’s requirements without the hassle of too many settings and sub-menus.
They do however have a newer model which is the ME.6 which needs to be mentioned for a more seasoned elderly user that allows both the true Android user experience and not only that reverts to the simple menu emporia are renowned for and this device is again a simpler version of the SMART.6
Now I am fortunate enough to get to test the best phones on the market costing up to two grand and more and even for a seasoned poweruser all year round with several devices in use at one time or on rotation I often get frustrated with such phones with all the menus and sub menus and finding things people need and have to look for but with emporia phones this is not the case with this and other models.
I would put the SMART6.Lite in the mid range with the pricing and specs here overall it has all the features you would expect on any other smartphone but simplified to a simple menu structure and again comes with a cool leather cover case with a visible screen and 4 main keys and once you open the cover you have 4 options present which of course can be changed by pressing and holding to select whatever suits you better and do check the emporia coach app which needs to be installed.
On the homescreen you will see a settings icon swipe left for contacts and emergency options and swipe right for your favourite apps and swipe right for you full list of favourites now these can be changed when you add your own apps and on the bottom right you can see and all apps folder and then these can be used as shortcuts.
The smartcover can be changed to functions/favourites or turned off but I highly suggest it is used even at default settings and it is going with the company’s ethos keeping it simple and you should look at the accessibility menu here for more.
The triple lens camera has a 13MP main camera with depth of field and macro for fantastic photos using the easy camera App, or you can use the Pro-Camera App . The 8mp selfie camera on the front brings fun snaps every day and is ready for WhatsApp video calls.The camera is ok in mostly yielding better results on outdoor settings in the daytime you can see samples taken by me below on the best settings if you are one that still likes to take photos which would be the case for family gatherings and so on for the older gen these days and from a typical user the camera is fine but will not win awards for the usual expectations you would see on more expensive devices which is fine as in my experience these days with the older folk including my father is not to pushed on taking photos but just looking at them online or what has been sent to him on WhatsApp and so on.
There is a One touch Panic button on the back in the camera array which you will add a number to on the homescreen by swiping left as mentioned above and can be used to keep you safe at night or used as a quick access key for your camera or the handy torch.

Overall for me this is a well built device offering the basics and more for the older generation keeping things simple you are not getting the bells and whistles you may find on other phones here but this is not intended for that market and it can easily do your daily tasks and more.
As a long time user of emporia products and putting them to real world testing loaded with my app collection multitasking and more these are the best devices on offer for those wanting more and going forward will need more for certain tasks in life and my own father has switched some time ago from his much loved Nokia phones to an emporia device I gave to him and to be fair he has not much patience with smartphones but I get it like his friends and neighbours they just want things kept simple and empora is the way forward if you are moving up from a dumbphone or feature phone for the first time.

The Google TV streamer is the latest addition to their product portfolio this year and a welcome upgrade too with more storage (32GB) and RAM and 22% faster on offer this time and a big design change from the old chromecast we all know and love.
This time around it is not a small box that plugs into the back of your TV but one that sits on the TV stand or nearby and this time you also get an ethernet port if you want a solid connection.
This also comes with Matter so you can connect any other compatible device to have on one hub along with your desired content all in one place so for example if you have google home and several devices you can have these on your TV which is excellent however you cant respond to your doorbell for example if it rings but you can still see all your cameras there which for me is ideal as I an an entrenched user of Google products and others.
The remote control has also changed slightly this time and ha s a custom key on it which I have set up for google home, voice commands work much better now and overall the UI of the product is excellent as you will see in a detailed video review below.
On setting up you will see a list of apps and then you select what is required if not on screen just download basically you are putting all your subs into one place or any favourite that doesnt cost.
You have AI built in of course with AI overviews and suggestions and of course the regular AI features like what’s the weather or find a movie all which we are accustomed to at this stage.
There is a sports hub too if your are into that and you get Google Free play so there is plenty here to get started if you want to embrace on a new smart home if you have not already and for those who have not would find themselves wanting more if you had a hub like this to have an entire ecosystem at home which for me is the best way to have it.
If you lose your remote do not worry as there are several ways now to find it one being the button on the back of the hub by voice or on the home app.
IN short here again if you are using an entire Google Ecosystem this is certainly what you need in one hub and anything else in one place it is a must have.
Check the video below for a look at what you get it is cool.
Features
Everything you stream on one screen.
Your entertainment, built around you.
Unlock 4K with cinematic visuals and immersive surround sound.
A big leap in performance and connectivity.
Better comfort and convenience with a redesigned voice remote.
The CASEKOO MAGICSTAND case for iPhone 16 is one of their new cases on offer for the new iPhone 16 line up.
With CASEKOO you get two packs of stickers in the box which is more than most and more aimed at the younger folk out there.
The case adds additional grip it has tactile keys and also a 360 degree rotating magicstand on the rear which also adds more security by putting your finger through it when in use on the street.
This also means you can watch content with the device either vertically or horizontally which is great and no need to remove the case especially if you have stands at home or in the office to mount it on.
There is a nice lip on the front so the device can be placed face down and the camera area is also protected well which overall gives your phone great protection.
Quality Materials
Made from high-quality materials, the case is durable and resistant to yellowing over time. It adds a layer of sophistication to your iPhone while ensuring long-lasting protection.
MagSafe Compatible
Charge your iPhone effortlessly without removing the case. The Magic Stand Series is compatible with wireless charging and magsafe accessories, making it convenient for your on-the-go lifestyle.
Innovative MagicStand Feature

The ANNKE Whiffle -1080P Battery Powered WiFi Doorbell Camera with AI is their latest model of offer and with the dark evenings coming in it is best to have some extra security at your home and a video doorbell is one such instance you can use.
Setting up takes a few minutes and no real expertise required and if you have a power drill and screw drive you are good to go as no wiring is required here at all.
Placing the doorbell is important so be sure to follow the instructions given and you are good to go also ensure the fixtures are secure properly as there is doorbell thieves out there and I recently had one yanked off my wall but the idiot does not know they are famous now and forget how they work.
The doorbell can be used either flat oor with a wedge and it is best to get the most field of view as it also acts as a security camera too.
The app is straight forward and simple to use around all the doorbell features you would expect are here however there is paid and freemium models here on offer so it is up to you which suits you best and it does also take an SD card for local storage however the price models does not include that.
The alerts are on time which is fair to say and again this will depend on your own home network there can be a lag sometimes but all the detection alerts are present and some more thrown in on the premium plan.
You can see a full review below in the video of what to expect and how it works and we take a look at the app too so you can see what to expect, for the price of this product it is a fairly good doorbell compared to those battery powered doorbells you find in bargain shops that run on a standard battery, this however will last around three weeks but again this varies depending on how you have set up alerts.
Free Vs Premium
The Free vs Premium here is something you should take note of as to what your needs are as most people differ some may need some of what’s free or what is premium or both and this is a move most smart doorbell makers are doing but with an SD card for local storage not so much.
