PawsCam is basically a wearable GoPro for your pet that wirelessly uploads video to the cloud

By Alexander Thickstun Published January 15, 2019

PawsCam is a wireless camera that allows you to see what your dog is doing no matter where you are. Setup and registration is a simple process, and after you’re done you attach PawsCam to your dog’s collar. Motion and light sensors in the camera will detect when your dog is doing something interesting, record a short six second video clip, and upload it wirelessly to a free cloud service that you can view from any connected device.

PawsCam is small and light enough that most dogs won’t mind wearing it, but it might be a little uncomfortable or awkward for a dog that’s the size of a cat. The camera is water and dust resistant, and battery life lasts between 4 to 5 days on a single charge. The camera is only 480p, and can be a little shaky on a moving dog. But seeing what your dog is up to during the day is a nice escape when you’re at work. The whole experience helps you feel more connected to your dog.

Ultrahuman wants you to know exactly what that donut did to your body

Ultrahuman M2 Live

Ultrahuman has announced the launch of M2 Live in the United States, expanding access to continuous glucose monitoring and metabolic health insights for consumers without diabetes.

The launch represents a significant step for the company, which helped popularize glucose monitoring for wellness-focused consumers when it introduced its first metabolic tracking platform in 2021. With M2 Live, Ultrahuman is aiming to make the technology more affordable and accessible, with subscriptions starting at $99 per month and individual sensors priced at $129.

Honor’s new Watch 6 brings battery life Apple Watch users dream about

Honor releases a sporty smartwatch that will outpace your endurance

Honor Watch 6

Honor has officially launched the Honor Watch 6 globally, with a headline feature that deals with the daily charging annoyance of most smartwatches. As the name suggests, it is the successor to the Watch 5 series. The company claims the Watch 6 can last up to 35 days in long-endurance usage, or up to 17 days with more regular use. Even with GPS enabled for outdoor sports, Honor says it can last up to 42 hours.

This separates it from mainstream smartwatches like the Apple Watch and many Wear OS rivals, where charging every day or two is still very much part of the deal. It is backed by its large 980mAh cell that is packed into a surprisingly slim 10.8mm body, which weighs just 41 grams without the strap.
