Review: Mobius 1080p Action Video Camera

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day, Reviews / By /

mobius-vid-camNot too long ago, we reviewed the DR32 DashCam, and found a solid, compact HD video camera that’s perfect for your car. Next up we have a cam that you may be able to hide completely in 1 hand, the Mobius action cam. The Mobius measures a mere 4 x 2.9 x 1.1 inches and weighs only 1.4 oz but takes 1080p HD video. Ah, technology!

Introduction and Features

Like the DR32, the Mobius can also shoot 720p video, and that can be toggled using one of the 3 buttons on the on the top. While it didn’t take much time to learn what order the buttons are in and what they do, I did at first wish that the icons and buttons were colored differently from the black of the case, instead of just being stencil cut.

Review: Smarthome Wireless Security IP Camera

4 Comments / Cameras and Photo, Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation, Reviews / By /

I recently tested out Smarthome’s Wireless Security IP Camera. This compact video camera can be set on a table or shelf or even mounted to a wall and controlled from your web browser or an INSTEON smartphone app.

Installation didn’t take more than 30 minutes, but could have been quicker if it did a better job of identifying the wireless AP.

It has a resolution of 640×480, and night vision up to 26 ft, and I wasn’t expecting the clarity in either day or night mode to be as good as it was. I thought it would be more grainy, and the infrared night vision is surprisingly clear. The video comes in at 30 fps and wasn’t so choppy to be annoying, although not quite TV-smooth.

Latest iPad Rumors Suggest More Memory, Thinner Body, Front-Facing Camera

2 Comments / News, Portable / By /

The latest round of rumors concerning the iPad 2 specs are in, this set courtesy of a source that Engadget regularly uses. According to them, the iPad 2 feature a dual GSM/CDMA chipset so that it can be provisioned on either an AT&T or a Verizon/Sprint carrier.

Originally, the rumors said there would be an SD card slot and a higher resolution display, but those apparently are out.

However, the new iPad should be thinner, and have a more rounded bezel, have more RAM (512MB) and quite likely a front-facing camera.

Of course, Apple has surprised before and the rumors haven’t always been 100% on the money, so don’t count on these being the final specs.

Archerfish Solo State-of-the-Art Motion Detection Surveillance Camera

4 Comments / Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

Archerfish is an advanced wireless surveillance system that can be accessed from a variety of devices. All you need to do is set up your Archerfish camera in an area you want to monitor and when it detects any sort of motion it filters it.

The filter works like this; if you’re simply looking out for people coming to your front door then a car driving past or up your driveway won’t activate the surveillance. Archerfish can tell the difference between the general different types of motion.

When the specified motion has been detected then Archerfish will notify you by your smartphone as to what’s happening. You can then log in to the portal and watch the video direct from your smartphone – neat! …
