I have an Alro battery-powered home security camera system at my house and I have to say, I liked it a lot more in theory than I do in practice. The app is great and the features are terrific. I also have a mix of 720p and 1080p Arlo camera models, and I find that all of them stream great quality video that’s nice and clear. That said, I have two main problems with Arlo. First, the cameras are way too expensive. Second, the battery life is terrible.

For cameras that get a lot of use, I’m lucky if I can squeeze 3 months out of them before I have to recharge them again. That’s especially annoying for cameras that are placed high up on the outside of my home. If I had it to do over again, I would probably opt for a eufy Security eufyCam E Wireless Home Security Camera System. Not only are prices better, but the battery lasts for up to 1 year while operational or 3 years in standby mode. That’s crazy!

Amazon is running a great one-day sale on Thursday that offers some of the best prices we’ve ever seen on eufyCam systems. a 1-camera eufyCam E bundle costs $167 instead of $238, a 2-cam bundle is $216 instead of $300, and the 3-camera bundle is down to $300 from $400. You can also pick up a eufyCam 2C 3-Cam Kit for $245 instead of $350 if battery life isn’t a big concern, and the beloved $200 eufy Security Spaceview S Video Baby Monitor is on sale for only $140 today.

Apple is expected to unveil a brand new iPhone model next month, the handset many of you have been asking for. Often referred to as the iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2, it’ll be an updated iPhone 8 that will sport both a Touch ID fingerprint sensor and Apple’s powerful A13 chip found inside the iPhone 11 series.

Leaks have been referring to this phone as iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 9, and both of those names make some sense. This iPhone 8-like device will be Apple’s most affordable handset since the iPhone SE, and it’ll have the same design as the iPhone 8. However, neither iPhone SE 2 nor iPhone 9 are ideal naming options, and Apple has been struggling with iPhone naming schemes in recent years. Now, a new leak says Apple has a different product name in mind for the upcoming 4.7-inch handset, and it would be a huge surprise that no one saw coming.

Sony was widely expected to copy its PlayStation 4 launch schedule for the PS5 in 2020 and unveil the new console during a PlayStation Meeting press conference in February. That hasn’t happened so far, and the PlayStation 5 announcement will likely come at a much later date. Unlike the PS4 in 2013, there’s one huge difference that’s impacting Sony’s schedule, and that’s the coronavirus threat that already prompted the company’s mobile division to pull out of MWC 2020 well before the congress was officially canceled. And now Sony’s PlayStation arm decided it won’t attend PAX East either, due to the same concerns over the COVID-19 virus outbreak.

There are plenty of popular product segments out there in the smart home space, but we’re not sure any of them are quite as popular as home security cameras. You pretty much can’t load a single page on Amazon or any other retailer without seeing 10 different cameras from 10 different brands. The Nest Cam has been among the most popular options out there for years now, but we’re here to tell you that it’s just not a smart purchase anymore. It’s that simple. There are a bunch of better options to be found these days, and today we’re going to tell you about our favorite one while it’s on sale at a discount.

At $26 shipped, the Wyze Cam 1080p HD Indoor Wireless Smart Home Camera is already an absolute steal. It has all the basic features you’d expect like night vision, 2-way audio, 1080p resolution, motion detection, and more. On top of all that though, you also get 14 days of free cloud storage. The $200 Nest Cam doesn’t even offer that! $26 is indeed a great price, but 2-packs are on sale right now on Amazon for just $46.80. That works out to $23.40 per camera, which is an unbelievable value.

Wyze Cam 1080p HD Indoor Wireless Smart Home Camera with Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Works with…: $46.80 ($23.40 each)

Check out this great review from Amazon to see how much people love the Wyze Cam:

Ok my family has an Arlo, Nest, and now Wyze. Nest was my first camera at $180 for 1 camera. I hated that it didn’t record for long unless you paid for the service and also that it wasn’t wireless. The Arlo I installed in my moms home it records for a week is wireless and rechargeable, but comes with a hefty price tag of $600 for 3 camera set up. I wanted 2 more cameras and saw that the Wyze had good reviews. I thought for $25 a camera how could I lose and I’m so glad I did I bought it. These are for my first impressions. I haven’t played with it long enough to really give you more detail. There is a user-friendly ap and I have an IPhone XS the use of the ap and the quality of the pictures is pretty damn good for $25. Check out my pictures. I do have the Wyze camera and Nest camera behind glass windows. For the reviewers who complained that it doesn’t turn off and it records them naked….look I have dogs and I primarily use this to check on my new puppy. I wouldn’t install a camera where I would be walking around naked. Whether I could turn off the system or not. Sure it can deter burglars but I have a 90lb German Shepherd whose bark can make your skin crawl. I don’t necessarily need to record but this camera has that option with the additional purchase of an SD card. I have to dock it a bit because it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the Arlo. It isn’t wireless and it doesn’t record the way the Arlo does but I don’t really need that option. Look where this camera lacks it makes up in price. I just ordered 2 more. Also too bad it’s not for outdoor use but my cameras I mount inside in front of windows. It can reach super high temperatures where I live and I don’t want to risk my Nest came melting on me. I installed a set of baxia solar powered lights and for under $200 I have a home security system with 4 cameras, recording capability and excellent image quality.

Apple’s walled garden approach to its mobile operating system has served it well for the past decade and change, but one of those walls might be in danger of collapsing. Bloomberg reports that Apple is currently deciding whether or not it should allow iOS users to set third-party web browser and email apps as their default options, overriding Safari and the Mail app whenever they click a link to open a website or send an email.

Third-party apps have been available from the App Store since its inception in 2008, but Apple has never given iOS users the choice to decide which app they want to serve as the default. In recent years, this has been scrutinized by lawmakers who are probing antitrust violations in the industry, which might explain the timing.

If you’ve been searching for great iPad deals and holding out for the best bargain you can possibly find, today is your lucky day because it’s been ages since we’ve seen Apple’s latest and greatest iPads on sale as cheap as they are right now.

First up, Amazon is running a killer sale that slashes Apple’s newest iPad model, the 10.2-inch iPad, to as little as $249 for the 32GB model. This is one of the smoothest and sleekest tablets you can buy, and it’s packed with all of Apple’s latest tech. It even works with the Apple Pencil, which is new for the iPad lineup. People tend to drool over the iPad Pro, and it’s obviously a fantastic device. But it’s also about three times more expensive than this iPad and it’s only worth it if you truly have a genuine need for all that oomph. Or, if you want a big upgrade that’s not quite as expensive as the iPad Pro, the newest 10.5-inch iPad Air is also on sale at Amazon with discounts up to $52.

New Apple iPad (10.2-Inch)

• The new iPad combines the power and capability of a computer with the ease of use and versatility you’d never expect from one. And now it’s even more versatile, with a larger 10.2‑inch Retina display, support for the full-size Smart Keyboard, and the amazing new capabilities of iPadOS. It’s unbelievably fun. And unmistakably iPad.
• With iPad, getting work done is all hustle and no hassle. You can easily edit a document while researching something on the web and making a FaceTime call to a colleague at the same time. Manage all your files in one convenient spot with the Files app. And when you want to write a term paper or create a presentation, you can simply use the onscreen keyboard or attach the full‑size Smart Keyboard.
• From taking notes in class to writing out a quick to-do list, using Apple Pencil with iPad is the best way to get what’s in your brain down on the page. Do things like sign paperwork, mark up a document, or sketch out an idea. It feels as natural to use as a pencil, but with so much more capability.
• Let your curiosity run wild with iPad. The App Store is the best place to discover apps that let you get a leg up in geometry, learn a new language, and practice composing your own music. You can even use augmented reality to learn something exciting, like watching the history of spaceflight unfold in your living room or making characters from your favorite book literally leap off the page.
• It’s go time for gaming. The A10 Fusion chip delivers amazing performance, so games are immersive, fluid, and incredibly detailed. And you can pair an Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth, PlayStation DualShock 4 controller, or MFi game controller with your iPad to create the ultimate portable game console. You can also try out Apple Arcade, a game subscription service unlike any other, with over 100 incredibly fun new games to play.
• iPad lets you express your creative ideas in so many ways. Whether you’re painting a watercolor, designing a logo, or just sketching up a storm, Apple Pencil is the perfect tool to bring your vision to life. It’s designed to feel intuitive and let you draw with pixel‑perfect precision.

That’s exactly what’s happening in February, which is indeed Netflix’s lightest month in over a year when it comes to the sheer volume of new original content added to the company’s catalog.
