An Innovative New Security Camera Has a Solar Panel that Follows the Sun

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-18 17:55:00

I've tested solar panels for home security cameras before. Almost every brand has one nowadays, and they're an easy way to use wireless cams and keep their batteries full. But mounting those little solar panels in the right spot can be a pain, which is why I'm fascinated by Baseus S2's solution: A built-in solar panel that moves. This camera, currently available for preorder at $130, includes a solar panel on top similar to Eufy's model but with one big difference. This panel is designed to rot

5 security cameras you should buy instead of Google Nest ones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-20 07:00:09

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It’s hard to blame anyone for feeling fed up with Google Nest cameras right now. The latest Nest Aware price hike means users will soon be paying up to $200 a year, with zero new features to show for it. That’s on top of already pricey hardware, limited local storage options, and a system that some feel might actually be getting worse rather than better. Maybe you’re already planning to cancel like some of these angry Redditors. Maybe you’re just Nest-curious

I Took My Leica On a Trip to the Arctic. Here Are My Pro Tips for a Photography Adventure

Earlier this year, I traveled to Sweden to research, write and photograph a feature for CNET on why electric cars are great for winter driving. It was a huge undertaking, requiring me to travel around multiple parts of Sweden and venture north into the frozen Arctic Circle. As both a journalist and a professional photographer, it was my job to not just tell the story with my words, but to capture it on camera.

Sony’s new RX1R III camera looks awesome. Hardcore photo enthusiasts have wanted an updated version of its full-frame compact camera, the RX1, for nearly a decade.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is typically available for $180 for the Wi-Fi version and $200 for the PoE version. This indoor/outdoor security camera doubles as a smart home hub, features 1520p resolution for crystal-clear images, RTSP support, and has a built-in NPU to process video with AI for visual recognition.

This EufyCam is an excellent 4K outdoor security camera that delivers on its night vision promises, features no monthly fees, and has dual motion detection to reduce false alerts.
