Logitech Brio 4K Webcam
After cycling my older webcams down to my gaming PC and nephew, I wanted one supporting Windows Hello for instant face unlock. The Logitech Brio 4K fits the bill, though Hello-compatible webcams are surprisingly hard to find.

Cameras of all kinds, from webcams and smart security cameras to phone tripod mounts and the occasional shooter.
Aqara Camera E1 Review
The Aqara Camera E1 is Aqara's latest security camera at S$99, essentially a stripped-down Camera Hub G3 costing about S$100 less. It drops the built-in Zigbee hub but still supports HomeKit Secure Video, with improved Wi-Fi.
Aqara Camera Hub G3 Review
Happy with my Google Nest Cams but wanting to drop Homebridge in my new house, I looked at integrating cameras natively into HomeKit. The Aqara Camera Hub G3 is my test of a direct smart-home setup.
Arlo Go 2 LTE/Wi-Fi Security Camera Review
The Arlo Go 2 launched in Singapore in February 2023 at S$399, succeeding the Arlo Go. Key upgrades include 1080p resolution, colour night vision, and added Wi-Fi alongside 4G LTE, at nearly half the original price.
Ulanzi ST-27 Metal Phone Tripod Mount
Since the Ulanzi U-PAD III iPad mount only fits an iPhone in landscape, the ST-27 Metal Phone Tripod Mount is the phone-focused option. Solid all-metal aluminium with three 1/4-inch screw holes, I got mine for S$33.90.
Ulanzi U-PAD III Metal iPad Tripod Mount
I bought the Ulanzi U-PAD III Metal iPad Tripod Mount for S$41.67 during 12/12, down from S$49.90. The premium all-metal aluminium mount holds devices from 10 to 23cm, so it fits an iPhone in landscape too.

This review covers the Poly Studio P5 Webcam, part of the Poly Studio P5 Kit with Sync 20+. Most of the kit's contents belong to the Sync 20+ speakerphone, leaving the webcam as the lone item.
Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Review
Arlo splits its cameras into four lines: Ultra, Pro, Essential, and Go. The Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera sits in the Pro line with 2K HDR recording, a step below the 4K Ultra.
Yunteng Selfie Stick Tripod Stand
Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Xiaomi Mi Selfie Stick Tripod, I found the Yunteng version for half the price at S$11.54. The catch: its phone holder doesn't rotate, so switching orientation means unscrewing it.
Sony ZV-E10
For over 11 years I shot product photos on an ageing Canon PowerShot S95, then briefly a Sony NEX-3N. With both showing their age, I upgraded to the Sony ZV-E10, despite still being a photography novice.
My Nest Hello Doorbell (Wired) Is Bricked
The day after publishing my Nest Hello installation post, the doorbell started failing, starting with its ring light. Received on 7th September 2021, it was bricked within days, a frustrating end to a brand-new device.

I bought the Nest Hello Doorbell (Wired) from B&H during a Labour Day sale for US$179, shipped to Singapore via fast DHL. This post walks through installing it on a typical HDB BTO doorbell setup.
Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam
I bought the Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam during Lazada's Online Tech Show for S$108.05, well below its S$149 retail. Its step-up model is the Logitech C922 Pro Stream, which adds 1080p streaming.
Arlo Essential Indoor Camera Review
The Arlo Essential Indoor Camera is the indoor counterpart to the Essential Spotlight I reviewed, retailing for S$199. The key differences: it's wired rather than wireless, drops the spotlight, and has black-and-white-only night vision.
Gutter Mount for Arlo Cameras
I placed my Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera in the kitchen, joining my Nest Cams elsewhere. To mount it, I bought an OEM Gutter Mount for Arlo cameras from Shopee for S$12.09. Despite being OEM, it's well-built and great value.
Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera Review
The Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera is a wire-free, mid-range IP camera retailing for S$239 on Lazada. True to Arlo's wire-free reputation, it records weather-resistant 1080p video indoors or out, with an integrated spotlight.
Waterproof Monopod For GoPro
This Waterproof Monopod for GoPro is a plastic imitation of the aluminium Vicdozia. I grabbed it on Lazada for S$7.80 during the 12/12 sales. The rubber grip is non-slip, with a wrist strap, though it feels cheap.
GoPro Shorty
I bought the GoPro Shorty alongside the Head Strap during Lazada's 12/12 sales, paying S$54, a 10% discount off its S$60 RRP. This mini extension pole and tripod stands 11.7cm closed, extending to 22.7cm.
TP-Link Tapo C200 Wi-Fi Camera Review
The TP-Link Tapo C200 is a pan/tilt home security Wi-Fi camera retailing for S$75. Notably, it comes with a three-year warranty, likely the only Wi-Fi camera to do so. It records 1080p with pan/tilt coverage and night vision.
GoPro Hand + Wrist Strap
The second GoPro accessory I bought at Bic Camera Odaiba was the Hand + Wrist Strap, S$73 before a Klook tourist coupon brought it to S$68, against S$85 in Singapore. It includes a rotating mount and two straps.
GoPro Sleeve + Lanyard
With a new GoPro Hero 7 Black from the 11/11 sale, I picked up official accessories in Tokyo. First was the GoPro Sleeve + Lanyard at Bic Camera Odaiba for around S$24, helped by a friend's Klook coupon tip.
GoPro HERO7 Black
After the GoPro HERO8 Black launched, GoPro cut the HERO7 Black to S$499. On 11/11, Lazada ran flash sales dropping it further, to S$449 at midnight; I bought it, then woke to a cheaper noon flash sale.
