The new Blurams PTZ Outdoor Cam 2K can view most any angle

By Keyan Riddick February 23, 2022

Blurams, one of the bestselling surveillance camera brands on Amazon, is releasing a new outdoor camera called the PTZ Dual-Lens Outdoor Cam 2K. The new camera will be perfect for anyone who wants to increase security around their homes thanks to more clarity and digital mobility features.

The new Blurams camera boasts two key features. First, the dual-lens capability allows a higher digital zoom than most cameras while maintaining high-quality resolution. The camera can zoom from 1x to 9x while maintaining a 3MP resolution so that you can see farther, with more transparency, than you can with most opposing cameras. While 3MP may not seem like much, it is a feat for standard security cameras.

The other feature to note is the camera’s PTZ function, which stands for pan, tilt, and zoom. The camera can follow any motion around your home. It also has auto-tracking features that ensure the camera pinpoints any human motion on the premises.

The Blurams PTZ Dual-Lens Outdoor Cam attaches to the side of your home with two antennas and must be constantly plugged into power, as is the case with most DVR-style security cameras. It sports an IP66 weather-resistant frame that helps it survive the elements. You can also use the camera with Wi-Fi or Ethernet for an internet connection.

While the camera is connected to the internet, you’ll receive notifications from the Blurams app. In combination with using a MicroSD card, the app can store 24/7 video recordings. If you sign up for the app’s monthly subscription service for $2, you can also keep those recordings in the cloud.

During this first week of release, Blurams is giving away promo codes for a discount on the new PTZ Dual-Lens Outdoor Cam on its website. If you can’t purchase the camera during that time, you can find it on the Blurams website or Amazon for $60. C

New Ring cams get radar, fresh design, and now they can dispatch Amazon Astro’s robot

Ring Spotlight Cam Pro wired on a wall.

During Wednesday's Amazon event, Ring announced a bevy of new products to join its large lineup. These products include the new Spotlight Cam Pro, Virtual Security Guard, and new software features for older products.
Ring Spotlight Cam Pro
First up is the new Spotlight Cam Pro, focusing on using radar sensors for improved motion detection. With the new radar sensor in the camera, you can set precise thresholds on when the Cam Pro starts to record and alert you to motion. Those sensors also power the Bird's Eye View feature that will show you an estimated path someone may have followed. So, if a delivery driver dropped off a package, you can see exactly what route they took around your property. This view will show in a picture-in-picture format whether you're watching live or a past event.

Ring Spotlight Cam Plus
The next generation of the Spotlight Cam is coined Spotlight Cam Plus. It offers a new design while maintaining all the features that customers expect, including two-way talk, color night vision, live view, and a security siren. The Spotlight Cam Plus will also be available in multiple power options, including Solar, Battery Wired, and Plug-in. You can pre-order the Spotlight Cam Plus now, starting at $200.

Lorex introduces 2K Outdoor Pan-Tilt WiFi Camera to eradicate blind spots

Lorex 2K Pan-Tilt WiFi Outdoor Security Camera mounted on stone wall.

Smart home security is one of the more practical implementations of modern "smart" technologies. What's most promising about it is the oversight and convenience it affords. Once a smart home camera is installed on your property, indoors or out, you can tune in remotely, streaming the live feed to your phone or device to check in on what's happening. Wi-Fi-enabled doorbells are an excellent example of this technology in action, as they allow you to see who's at your door, interact with visitors, and much more. You can actually do the same things with a smart security camera, including talking to visitors or warning off intruders. However, pretty much all of these smart devices have a crippling caveat -- blind spots. Depending on where you install your camera, there are frequently blind spots where the camera can't see, and, thus, where you can't see. That's the problem the Lorex Outdoor Pan-Tilt WiFi Security Camera aims to solve.

Thanks to its impressively wide field of view -- which means it can see and capture a lot -- and its motorized lens, the Lorex Pan-Tilt can be adjusted remotely through the Lorex Home App to ensure you always have a clear view of what's happening in the surrounding area. That's precisely why our reviewer Caleb Denison was interested in the Lorex Outdoor Pan-Tilt, and also why he installed it in his home. We'll let him explain it a little better:

Arlo Go 2 is an LTE-enabled security camera that goes anywhere, works anywhere

Arlo Go 2

Smart security cameras have always suffered from one major limitation: The need for a Wi-Fi connection. The new Arlo Go 2 LTE/Wi-Fi Security Camera doesn't have that restriction. This smart security camera is designed to monitor locations like a vacation home or a remote construction site where Wi-Fi might not always be available. It works off a 4G LTE cellular data plan to provide continuous connectivity without interruptions.

The Arlo Go 2 is powered by a swappable, rechargeable battery that eliminates the need for cords and wiring. This makes it ideal for out of the way installations, allowing you to more effectively hide your security camera out of sight. It also has a weather-resistant design that means it can work just as well outside your home as in.
