Today I ponder how to give someone the gift of a smart home. Whether you wish to bestow security, convenience, or energy savings, I've got you covered here.

I spent some time with the EZVIZ Mini 360 Plus and it's a great 1080p camera with 360 degree motion tracking, two way audio, and night vision.

The Toucan Surveillance System by Kuda takes a spin on the security system that we've yet to see. Powered by an outdoor light, the Toucan turns your light fixture into a smart light while providing you with an easy installing two communicating security camera that doesn't need batteries to constantly run.

There are quite literally tens of thousands of things to see at the anual Consumer Electronics show, the trade show that previews all the coming technology to retail and tech professionals. This year, I whittled down what I saw to 10 really cool things; from a levitating speaker to award-winning battery cases for smartphones, there’s a lot of new tech I’m coveting.

I installed the Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus and the Ring Video Doorbell 3. You can use them as wired or battery-only, and the new features make for a great doorbell.

Outdoor lighting just got a makeover. The Nanoleaf Matter smart multicolour string lights provide endless lighting options in outdoor spaces.

Ring didn’t showcase a big slate of new products at CES, but the two standouts take things in new directions.
