UK reviews of smart cameras, video doorbells, and smart locks — what actually works, what to avoid.
83 guides and reviews
FeaturedFive pet cameras compared for UK homes: the Furbo 360° Dog Camera for all-round dog monitoring, the Petcube Bites 2 Lite for scheduled treats and cats, and budget picks from Tapo, Eufy and Ring that skip the monthly subscription. We cover treat dispensers, night vision, local storage and which models actually work with Home Assistant.
FeaturedAqara's U500 series is a family of three Matter-over-Thread smart locks built for doors that mainstream retrofit locks can't reach: gates, glass doors, and traditional surface-mounted rim doors. This review covers what each model does, UK pricing, fingerprint and Apple Home Key unlocking, and — for Home Assistant users — exactly how the Matter integration actually works, and what still needs an Aqara or Thread hub.
FeaturedThe eufy Video Doorbell E340 pairs a standard eye-level camera with a second, downward-facing lens so you can actually see a parcel left on the step — all recorded to 8GB of onboard storage with no monthly fee. This review covers UK pricing, real-world battery life, how it stacks up against Ring and TP-Link, and whether it plays nicely with Home Assistant.
