One increasingly popular solution is to include a solar panel to keep the battery charged, allowing you to mount your camera and perhaps never touch it again. Both Wyze and TP-Link unveiled interesting solar-powered cameras this week. Let’s talk about Wyze first.
the Wyze Solar Cam Pan ($80) It is a 2K outdoor security camera that can rotate 360 degrees and tilt 70 degrees. It’s IP65-rated, easy to install, and has a small solar panel that Wyze thinks can keep the camera running for just one hour of sunlight per day (we’ll see as I test the gray depths of a Scottish winter). The Solar Cam Pan also features AI-powered people tracking, two-way audio, color night vision, a floodlight, and a siren, though you need a subscription, starting at $3 per month, to unlock the smart features and get cloud video storage.
Wyze also announced a new, impressively affordable product Battery Powered Video Doorbell ($66). We started testing Wyze cameras again recently after enhancing them Its security policiesBut frequent security breaches Expose thousands of camera feeds to other clientsmay still stop you temporarily.
Meanwhile, TP-Link is the first manufacturer to combine solar power and floodlighting capability in its new product Taboo Kit C615F. The similar-looking but larger Tapo C615F is another 2K camera, but it swivels 360 degrees, tilts 130 degrees, and, most importantly, has an adjustable 800-lumen floodlight.
TP-Link says its solar panel only needs 45 minutes of sun per day to maintain the camera, and it comes with a handy 13-foot cable, so you can install the solar panel in the best spot to catch those rays. the Taboo C615F ($100) Available now, you can use the promo code 10tabofeldcam Get $10 discount if you’re quick. —Simon Hill

Intel AI Experience Stores
Just in time for peak shopping season, Intel is launching a variety of “AI Experience Stores” in a few key locations around the world. We don’t know exactly what they’ll look like, but Intel says these pop-ups will include an “AI-powered shopping experience” of sorts and will build on the initial launch of Test run store In London last year.
If they keep the same design ethos, these stores will be fairly immersive experiences. There will be plenty of AI-based demos on devices from the broader range Windows laptop ecosystem, should help spark interest and curiosity about what personal computers can do. Interestingly, this comes against the backdrop of a major marketing campaign undertaken by Microsoft With new Windows 11 AI experiencesin an attempt to convince buyers of the upgrade and explain some of the new AI features.
