Flipbac Camera Grips help you hold on to today’s tiny cameras

It’s wonderful that point-and-shoot cameras have gotten so small in recent years: They weigh less, pack impressive specs, and are compact enough to take everywhere via purse or a pocket. The only problem with these cameras is that the tinier they get, the more difficult they are to handle, particularly if you have larger hands or fingers. The buttons get smaller and smaller, and as thin as the cameras are, they are not exactly made for optimum grip. Flipbac Camera Grips ($10 each) are here to help out users with a slippery grip on their itty-bitty point-and-shoots. The grips are made from silicone and have a sticky 3M back that will adhere to your camera without leaving any residue when removed. The small grips come in three different styles, inspired by the designs of the Canon G12, Panasonic GF2, and Samsung TL500. The squishy Flipbac Camera Grips will give you a much better hold on your little camera and even allow you to easily shoot with one hand.

Using your security camera’s local storage? Here’s how much space you’ll need
Wyze Cam microSD update

Smart security cameras can store and stream incredibly high-resolution video to help you keep an eye on what's happening around your home. The stored video means you can look back at activity from throughout the day, especially if the camera caught motion while you were away from your phone.

Local storage comes with a host of benefits, but you will typically need a MicroSD card. The question becomes what size do you need, as well as how much footage you intend to store. Different cameras store footage at different levels, but there are several things you need to consider.
Resolution vs. time
When deciding how much storage capacity you need, you first need to consider resolution and recording length.

What are you really missing out on when buying a cheap, $20 security camera?
Wyze Cam v3 vs Google Nest Cam IQ Indoor Comparison

After putting the Wyze Cam v3 through its paces, it made me think more about what exactly you’re getting from a high-end, pricey security camera for the home. Seriously, $20 is almost unheard of for any camera, especially when you consider all the rich features that accompany the Wyze Cam v3, including color night vision, something that has been largely reserved for premium cameras such as the Arlo Pro 3.

In comparison, I’ve also been using the Google Nest Cam IQ Indoor for a little under a year now. Sure, it’s been bred to work cohesively with the Google Home ecosystem, but it costs  $300. Is that huge gap in price between it and the Wyze Cam v3 really justified?. I know I’m not the only one with this dilemma, so here’s what I found.
