Reolink Elite Floodlight WiFi review: A dual-camera dazzler

PCWorld

Dual lenses give Reolink's latest floodlight camera an incredibly wide field of view, while its bright and capable floodlights ensure the scene is effectively lit. No matter how wide a viewing angle a given fixed-lens security camera might have, it will invariably suffer from this flaw: It won't be able to see everything in front of it. And while some cameras try to solve this problem by employing a fish-eye lens to widen that viewing angle, the resulting image usually suffers from a degree of barrel distortion. Reolink's Elite Floodlight WiFi mitigates that problem via a clever hack. It uses two camera lenses instead of just one to deliver a combined (and relatively distortion-free) 180-degree field of view.

PCWorld

Amazon Prime Day 2025 is happening next week, but we've already spotted some fantastic deals on the hottest home security cameras, video doorbells, and floodlight cameras. While the semi-annual sales doesn't officially start until July 8 and concludes July 11, lots of manufacturers are jumping the gun in the hope of beating their competitors to the punch. Just remember that you'll need an Amazon Prime subscription to bag the best deals. I oversee all of TechHive's smart home and home security coverage, and I personally review a lot of cameras and doorbells myself, so I'm very knowledgeable about the state of the market and what constitutes a good deal; you can count on me to point you in the right direction. And if you're looking to save money on more of the latest technology, visit PCWorld's Amazon Prime Day Tech Deals 2025 hub.


The best deals on robot vacuums and smart home gadgets for Prime Day

Engadget

Aside from the usual deals on tech, Amazon Prime Day is also a great opportunity to snag that home or kitchen appliance you've always had your eye on. From smart thermostats to robot vacuums, there's a veritable smorgasbord of devices that are on sale today. Not all of them are worth your money, however, so we've done the hard work of narrowing the list down to what we think are the best deals out there. One of our favorite smart thermostats is this one from Ecobee, which is on sale today for $198 (you'll only get the price at checkout), which is 20 percent off its retail price of $249. The SmartThermostat has built-in Alexa voice support, which you can use to control the temperature, make a call or send a message.
