RING INDOOR CAM
£49, en-uk.ring.comSetting up a home security system doesn’t
have to be difficult or expensive. Ring’s latest
launch is a simple plug-and-play indoor camera
that offers a raft of useful features for less
than 50 quid. Working either on its own or
in combination with other Ring cameras or
doorbells, this palm-sized device will discreetly
monitor what’s happening inside your home,
broadcasting clear HD footage to an app on
your smartphone so that you can get peace of
mind while you’re at work or on holiday. It’ll
send you a notification if it detects any motion
- even in the dark, thanks to an effective
night-vision mode. And in the unfortunate
event that you are being burgled, a two-way
talking function will enable you to reason with
or threaten your intruder as you see fit.
T3 SAYS: A better-than-average home security
system for the price of a meal out.
BANG & OLUFSEN BEOPLAY
E8 (3RD GEN)
£300, bang-olufsen.comSome audio companies still haven’t managed
to launch their first pair of true wireless
earphones, and yet Bang & Olufsen is already
on to the third iteration of its Beoplay E8s.
The Danish company has made some notable
tweaks to its acclaimed buds, making them
better for listeners on the move. For a start, their
size has been reduced by 17%, making them a
better fit in the earhole (well, they were in ours,
anyway). The battery life has doubled, with the
earphones now providing around seven hours
of play and the leather case offering a further
four charges. And there’s also support for the
latest Bluetooth 5.1 technology. Those other
companies have some catching up to do.T3 SAYS: Big on battery, compact in size,
these true wireless wonders are an enticing
alternative to Apple’s AirPods.IMAGE^SOURCE:^ RINGIMAGE^SOURCE:^ BANG^&^OLUFSEN
