You can never have too much home security. From security cameras to motion detectors and floodlights, there’s a way to keep tabs on just about every part of your home or business, both indoors and outdoors. A lot of this smart gear is getting a lot cheaper, too, though it’s always a good idea to stick with top-rated surveillance brands. Speaking of surveillance, a brand we like to recommend whenever we can is TP-Link, and we just came across a fantastic offer:

While this sale lasts, you’ll be able to purchase the TP-Link Tapo MagCam 2K Battery Outdoor Camera for only $70. At full price, this model sells for $120.

Why you should buy the TP-Link Tapo MagCam

Designed to capture a 150-degree field of view at up to 2K resolution, the Tapo MagCam delivers crisp-clear visuals. Thanks to its 2K QHD capabilities, a digital zoom won’t turn faraway details into a mishmash of pixels. And thanks to the built-in Starlight sensor and spotlights, the MagCam is able to capture nighttime footage in full color, too. On a full charge, you can expect the Tapo MagCam to last up to 300 days, at which point you’ll just need to recharge the cam via USB for a few hours.

Motion-triggered event recordings can be accessed both locally (the camera supports up to a 512GB microSD card) or via cloud storage (up to 30 days worth of recordings) with a Tapo Care subscription. A paid membership also unlocks motion detection, baby crying detection, and a handful of other features. We were also glad to learn that you’ll be able to use a compatible TP-Link solar panel to charge the MagCam!

The Dreame Z1 Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner takes the hassle out of pool maintenance
the dreame z1 pro robotic pool cleaner takes hassle out of maintenance img 6328

Robot vacuums are out. Robot pool cleaners are in (the deep end). In addition to the noteworthy Dreame X50 Ultra, the company has introduced the Z1 Pro robotic pool cleaner. At first glance, it looks like the world's bulkiest robovac. With large treads instead of wheels and dual brushes on the front, the Z1 Pro looks like a cross between a tank and spaceship.

There's a reason it's significantly larger than household bots, though. Navigating through the water is more difficult from a physical standpoint, but it's also trickier for the navigation system. The Z1 Pro utilizes a combination of ultrasound, 3D structured light, and infrared to make its way through the depths, but what stands out most is its ability to handle elevation shifts. Early models of robot pool cleaners struggled with dips in the floor of the pool, but the Z1 Pro can clean not just the floor but also the walls (by literally climbing them) and the surface of the water. It will float atop your pool and act as a skimmer, too.

Robotic pool cleaner with jaw-dropping 15-hour battery life revealed at CES 2025
iGarden TurboX Master

Tech company iGarden revealed several new products at CES 2025, but the TurboX and TurboX Master robotic pool cleaners were undoubtedly the most exciting. Both are designed to make pool maintenance effortless -- but it’s the TurboX Master and its staggering 15-hour runtime that stood out from the rest of the iGarden lineup.

The iGarden TurboX Master is expected to launch in April, and it’s poised to make waves in the robotic pool cleaner marketplace. While most products can only run for a few hours before needing a recharge, this one can clean for 15 hours before running out of juice. In fact, iGarden says it holds the Guinness Record for the longest continuous operation of a robotic pool cleaner. This is due to its unique AI-inverter technology, which results enhanced battery efficiency without skimping on a premium clean.

The PlantaForm Indoor Smart Garden looks like it belongs aboard the Enterprise
The Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden.

Imagine having fresh vegetables and herbs all throughout the year, no matter how cold the weather is. Sounds nice, doesn't it? At CES 2025, a device that looks straight out of the space age makes that a possibility. The PlantaForm Indoor Smart Garden is a fully enclosed system that uses fogponics (rather than aeroponics or hydroponics) to grow plants, and that means it uses a lot less water than traditional gardening methods.

It's both environmentally- and space-friendly. The system solves one of the biggest issues with other smart gardens: the grow lights. While almost every smart garden uses artificial lighting to accelerate growth, the lights need to remain on for anywhere from eight to 16 hours per day. If the garden is in your living room, bedroom, or another space, it becomes uncomfortably bright and sometimes too loud when the water flows — but they can work as an effective wake-up alarm in a pinch. The PlantaForm is enclosed with tinted glass that greatly reduces the brightness and makes it much more compatible with a smaller home.
