There’s no shortage of surveillance cameras on the market right now and that’s a good thing. Most of these solutions are competent enough and get the job done. For these applications, the cameras capture surveillance footage of incidents as they happen. While valuable, what these solutions offer is passive video surveillance. With the captured footage, you can only react to whatever incident occurred after the fact. As technology marches on, we don’t need to rely on the old way of doing things. Better exists.

Pumpkin-flavored hot beverages, a chill in the air, and ads for pending holiday sales mean the end of the year is creeping up on me, so this sounds like a good time for our yearly Best-Of list! I’m taking a slightly different approach this year, focusing on the top TVs in each of the major technology types: traditional LED-backlit LCD, QLED, NanoCell IPS, OLED, and a separate focus on the lifestyle category. So, without further ado, let’s get to the list!

On the other side is Sony’s next-generation console, the PlayStation 5 (PS5). Over the next few weeks, you’ll probably hear a lot about which of these is the better console, but not from us. We’re more concerned with which console is better for

These are strange and confusing times in which we’re living. If you’re lucky enough to be working at all, you’re probably working from home, likely in very close proximity to your family members or roommates. At my place, our living room has been doubling as an office for my wife and me. It is not uncommon for me to be working while my wife is eating her breakfast and watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (or some other quality programming) in a most inconsiderate and distracting fashion. In any case, it became evident to me that these

Here’s the thing: Right now, the world is upside down. We are in the midst of a global pandemic, one that has disrupted and upended our every way of life, including how we work and how we play. At B&H, our goal isn’t to make light of these challenging times, or pretend like they aren’t happening, but rather to help you get through it as best we can. One of the better ways to do that, we think, is by providing you with entertainment options you can take advantage of while under quarantine—specifically,
