    I don’t think this one will fit on my front door.

    Ring has a giant video doorbell at its booth outside the LVCC at CES.

    Of course the first thing I did was press the giant button. Turns out it’s also a photo booth… so enjoy my confused looks.

    Reolink’s new 16MP camera works over Wi-Fi 6.

    The smart security camera company debuted the latest addition to its 16MP lineup at CES. As the name implies, the Duo 3 WiFi works over Wi-Fi and stitches together video from two cameras to create a 180-degree panoramic view with color night vision, motion tracking, and people, vehicle, and animal detection.

    The plug-in camera is available to buy starting today for $179.99.

    No. 5 is alive! Reolink showed off its new Wi-Fi version of its popular 16MP outdoor security camera line at CES this week.

    LG’s new smart speaker has heart eyes.

    This cute little guy is all over LG’s CES booth, winking at people and offering them popcorn.

    The LG On-Device AI Hub (great name) is a smart speaker with a 4-inch screen, built-in camera, and microphone. Designed to be a satellite to the ThinQ ON home hub, LG says it’s a concept product, so there’s no price or release date.

    <em>The speaker has a circular LCD screen that shows animated eyes.</em>

    Yes, I’m taking a picture of Vee with a door lock.

    Lockly’s latest smart lock, the Vision Prestige, shows your visitor through a built-in camera. It’s a neat concept, but bending down to see who’s at the front door feels a tad awkward.

    The video was also quite dark, and the screen was tiny, but it showed the visitor instantly — not always the case when pulling up a feed from a video doorbell on your smartphone.

    LG’s side table grow light is also a speaker.

    For the ultimate in multitasking, this “Indoor Garden” from LG is a grow light, accent light, and a speaker all in one.

    It’s still a concept product, but it can auto water your garden while it grows and also play it some tunes from the 120 watt, 4.1 channel sound system.

    Samsung just added ships to Matter.

    “SmartThings for ships is a new integration that uses Matter, the connectivity standard, to connect with compatible ships,” Sean Michael of Samsung Electronics America said during the company’s press conference today.

    Apparently, you’ll be able to automate the climate, lighting, and even the engine of your yacht or, you know, cargo ship.
