Ubiquiti has been the go-to manufacturer for reliable SMB-level networking devices for almost a decade and the public has been especially fond of their wireless access point series (and surprisingly, Ubiquiti is a favored option even in the home networking market as well). One of the most popular models is the Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO (the predecessor … Read more
Reolink has recently unveiled a new series of indoor-suitable cameras with a special focus on the image quality (Super HD quality with the resolution above the often used 1080p) and there are three models available, the base E1 (the most affordable from the bunch), the E1 Pro that I tested a few days ago (had … Read more
