Wanscam K21 with face detection: great IP Camera with ONVIF compatibility (updated)

Bubbah 3/26/2021 02:31:00 PM 12

Wanscam has almost always been my favourite brand of IP camera except for the unfortunate HW0036 experience.

I have a bunch of them (HW0026, HW0049 and HW0046) running 24/7 and are still fine after 3 years.

The K21 looks identical to the HW0021, but with a full HD sensor, and a face detection feature.

Another noticeable difference is the price, and surprisingly it's actually 15 to 20$ cheaper than its older variant.

Here's a quick look at it.

Cracking open the iPazzPort KP-62 remote

Bubbah 1/22/2020 11:52:00 AM 0

The iPazzPort KP-62 is an RF remote I bought some time ago thinking it could be better than the H1 or even the unmatched TZ-P3.

I never considered publishing a review for it because of its inherent show-killer feature: the useless and continuous beeping when using the keyboard side.

There's a simple DIY solution to it.

The Digoo DG-K2 is another camera compatible with Smart Life.

Blitzwolf TWS earphones: FYE3 vs FYE7

Bubbah 8/03/2019 06:13:00 PM 0

Blitzwolf sells many different gadgets and i don't know how good are their vacuum cleaners and IP cameras, but their wireless earphones definitely deserve a closer look.

The colourful BW-FYE3 and BW-FYE3S look cool, are touch sensitive and have a storage box that can also be used as a power bank.

The BW-FYE7 may look austere in comparison, but it hides a killer feature in its apparent simplicity.

Which one would you choose?

SD

Bubbah 4/24/2019 04:03:00 PM 0

What to expect when you buy a bunch of cheap U3 rated memory cards for 5 bucks and they arrive in a plastic bag?

I tested them to find out if the absence of a shiny secure blister really makes a difference.

Is it too good to be true?

H1 2.4GHz Air Mouse: which version to choose?

Bubbah 9/10/2018 05:32:00 PM 0

The H1 Air Mouse is another inexpensive remote controller.

The large touch-sensitive surface on the reverse side can be used either as a keyboard or as a touch pad.

This remote is absolutely fine, but you must use caution when purchasing it.

Bubbah 6/05/2018 11:58:00 AM 2

Some time has passed since my review of the YEPO 737A (64GB version), and I was can tell today that this ultrabook is worth the addition of a SSD.

The next thing I needed was a SSD drive for a decent price and the Vaseky 128GB is just the perfect match.
