Swann is a company that was founded in Australia by David Swann in 1987 and is now owned by an American/Chinese company. Now, in the first quarter of 2025, they have launched a wide range of home surveillance products on the Nordic market and we tested their SwannBuddy4K Video Doorbell. That they are no newcomers …
When we tested surveillance cameras that work with Apple’s secure storage, one stood out. The Netatmo Smart Indoor Camera was really smart and didn’t require an expensive subscription. But it had some small weaknesses. The video quality wasn’t stellar, there was no two-way communication and it was difficult to mount. Say hello to the Netatmo …
When my wife and I were new parents eight years ago, baby monitors were still standard in the nursery. A transmitter in the stroller or by the bed and a receiver that could be carried around the house – simple. Today, the situation is completely different. Modern baby monitors have both video and app control …
As we’ve seen in previous tests of the Pro model and the mobile model, Arlo is an experienced surveillance camera company. They typically have good build quality, advanced and well-thought-out features, and reliable operation. The problem is that they cost more than their competitors, especially because they often require a hub, which adds to the …
In autumn 2023, Samsung released their new SmartTag2. It replaced the two previous products they had in the same category, and with SmartTag2, you really get your money’s worth. Most impressive is the feature that uses argumented reality (AR) to locate the SmartTag2 (and therefore the object it’s attached to), but let’s start from the …
There are rumours that Apple is planning to release an updated version of AirTag with built-in AR technology like Samsung’s new SmartTag2. But until that happens, Apple users will have to make do with the version of AirTag that Apple disrupted the smart tag market with back in 2021. And it’s still a solid product …
When Tile made its breakthrough almost a decade ago, it was simply a groundbreaking product the company had developed. Stolen bikes, lost keys and other valuable items were recovered and returned to their rightful owners in droves, and everyone was happy. But has time and other manufacturers outrun Tile? The answer is not clear. Boosting …
Once you get your hands on a Chipolo, it’s hard not to be a little disappointed by the design. It looks like the kind of pieces that janitors carry around in their big key fobs. Eighties-esque and plastic. Even the colours are utilitarian. But even if the normcore look doesn’t appeal to us, like in …
A smart tag is like a little breadcrumb that helps you find your stuff again, and if Hansel and Gretel had kept one in their pocket, they might have been saved, even if the birds ate the crumbs they dropped on the path. You can track the things you lose or get stolen, but smart …
Producer Ajax has a mission. They stand against evil. This mission statement is evident on the website in large type. It’s part of the story that the company is based in Ukraine. The slogan does makes sense for a company whose products protect against burglary, water ingress and, in FireProtect’s case, smoke, heat and carbon …
A smart door lock is the perfect companion to a smart doorbell. If the doorbell rings and you’re not home, you’ll see it on your mobile phone and you can choose to unlock it – no matter where in the world you happen to be. The Yale Doorman L3S actually has a built-in doorbell, so …
If you have a smart doorbell, that in itself is very cool. But there’s really not much you can do with it unless you also have a smart door lock. Yale is the market leader in this area. The older model V2N has recently been renamed the Doorman Classic, and it has now received a …
Arlo’s camera has a completely different quality than most other cameras. This is largely due to the fact that it is designed as an outdoor camera and has a long battery life. As a result, the price is also higher. There is a threaded mount on the back and you can buy all kinds of …
In addition to its expensive surveillance cameras – such as the Arlo Pro 4 and Arlo Ultra 2 – the company, originally part of Netgear, also has a range of cheaper products, dubbed Essential. We’ve already tested several products in the range, including the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera and Arlo Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell, and …
