Since the verb “to shoot” can be used interchangeably with the idea of firing a gun and snapping a photo, it would only make perfect sense for a camera bag to embody the connection between the two objects. With the stylish Roberu Gun Holder leather case, you can access your camera like a gun holster and shoot away whenever a opportunity arises.

Designed to fit naturally around the waist, Roberu designer explains that the soft case is best for those who like to take photos at a moment’s notice. This way, if you run into something interesting, you will never miss a moment — “an emergency,” as the designer would describe. The case will fit most mirrorless DSLR cameras, including the Olympus PEN line, Sony NEX, Lumix GF1, and Nikon J1. The length of the belt fits up to a size 38-inch waist, but you can notify Roberu if you need a longer strap since each order is tailor made.

The Roberu Gun Holder case is available through the Japanese retailer directly. The product comes in three naturally-dyed cow hide leather: camel, black, and dark brown. A leather finger strap is also available if you want to really make sure the camera doesn’t fall to the ground during quick shoots, and the idea is quite reminiscent of a gun trigger.

There’s a price to pay to feel like a badass photographer slash cowboy, of course, at 18,900 yen, or approximately $242 USD, per set. If you want just the camera case without the belt, the price knocks down to 11,550 yen, or about $148 USD… but where’s the fun in that? Nothing like a good ol’ photography standoff with gun holster cases to get the intensity level right.

Security cameras are often thought of as one-dimensional devices. They keep an eye out for suspicious activity around your home, but security cameras are capable of significantly more than just the bare minimum of motion detection.

While smart cameras excel at home defense, they do much more than simply alert you to activity around your home. Here are seven things you didn't know security cameras could do.

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.
