Amazon Cloud Cam review offset left
The Amazon Cloud Cam is an outstanding security camera. But since its release two years ago, sales on the device have been hard to come by. This week appears to be one of those rare sale opportunities, with the site cutting $30 off the retail price .

At $90, it’s the same price that it was during Prime Day. We’ve had a chance to review this security camera, and appreciated its outstanding picture quality, equally outstanding night vision, and customizable motion detection. It might not be the cheapest security system, but it’s one of the highest quality ones on the market.

Of course, the Amazon Cloud Cam works best if you already own video-enabled Echo devices. You will also have free storage to view videos from the past 24 hours, but we recommend opting for one of the subscription plans. With a Cloud Cam subscription, you’ll get anywhere from seven to 30 days of video storage and gain the ability to identify people and different types of sounds including glass breaking, a baby crying, a dog barking, or a smoke/carbon monoxide alarm.

It adds up, but there are very few security cameras out there that provide such an expansive feature set and as clear of a picture as the Cloud Cam. As they say, you get what you pay for.

But $90 is $90. What if you’re looking to do a multi-camera setup? That will get expensive quick. We have two options for you that are a fraction of the price.

Wyze Cam

WyzeCam hands-on review table
There’s a reason the Wyze Cam is the No. 1 selling security camera on Amazon: It’s super cheap. At only $26, it’s by far the cheapest security camera on the market right now, and the feature set is pretty impressive.

You get 1080p video with night vision and two-way audio support. Motion detection works well, and Wyze has just added person detection (the same feature you’re paying Amazon extra for with the Cloud Cam). Free 14-day storage is included, and continuous recording is available if you plug an SD card into the camera itself. While the video quality isn’t nearly as good as the Cloud Cam by a considerable margin, it’s more than acceptable for most uses.

Wyze Cam Pan

Want a little more functionality than the Wyze Cam? Step up to the Wyze Cam Pan.  At $38, it’s still far cheaper than the Cloud Cam, but you get some pretty nifty features that Amazon’s camera doesn’t have, like the ability to rotate the camera 360 degrees, and 93 degrees up and down. This makes it perfect for watching over large rooms and the camera we’d recommend in these situations.

You can even set waypoints to instruct the camera to pan to specific parts of the room in a predetermined fashion. The panning functionality also allows Wyze Cam Pan to follow motion across the room, taking up to 12 seconds of video, and also includes Wyze’s free 14-day storage.

My Lawn Used to be a Never-Ending Weekend Job Until the LEBOSBO V3 Took Over
The revolutionized yard care solution that acts less like a machine and more like a helping hand
Grass, Lawn, Plant

I used to think tedious lawn maintenance was simply one of those unwritten rules of homeownership, a chore you quietly accept and force yourself to deal with every weekend. I would promise myself I’d quickly get it done, only for it to spiral into hours of work. Instead of enjoying slow summer weekends outdoors, I often found myself dragging a mower through the heat, edging borders, bagging endless clippings, and dealing with equipment that somehow always demanded more effort than expected. Even after sacrificing an entire Saturday morning, the yard rarely stayed looking sharp for more than a few days.

That frustration eventually pushed me toward smarter lawn care solutions. The problem was that most robotic lawn mowers I came across did not feel all that smart. Between burying messy perimeter wires, dealing with bulky installations, and watching machines bounce around the yard like confused pinballs, the entire setup often looked more exhausting than the mowing itself. I direly sought some respite, and that's exactly why LEBOSBO stood out to me.

YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra: redefining what robot vacuums should actually clean
The real problem with robot vacuums is not navigation anymore
Electronics, Speaker

YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra enters a category that has already refined navigation, mapping, and basic automation to a point where daily dust cleaning is predictable and reliable. The expectation from a robot vacuum today is no longer about whether it can move efficiently through a home, but whether it can handle the kind of mess that defines real, everyday use. Floors accumulate dried spills, sticky residue, and layered grime that cannot be removed through suction or light mopping alone, and these conditions continue to expose a limitation that has persisted across the category. Users still find themselves stepping in before or after a cleaning cycle, either by manually scrubbing problem areas or by running multiple passes to reach an acceptable result, which defeats the purpose of automation in the first place.

This is the gap YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra is designed to address, approaching robotic cleaning through stain treatment and surface recovery rather than simply increasing suction or expanding coverage. The product’s focus on solving persistent real-world cleaning limitations has also earned it the Digital Spotlight Award, reinforcing its positioning within a category that is increasingly shifting towards more intelligent and outcome-driven automation.

Robot vacuums have reached a point where expectations are no longer limited to basic cleaning.
