And yes, the tablet market has seen better days, but Google has finally focused a bit more towards this segment, making the software experience on the tablets a bit better for large-screen formats. Then again, the rugged tablets have been a thing for a while and a very niche audience needed them for outdoor work, so is the AGM Pad P1 suitable for this type of task. AGM says that the PAD P1 is waterproof, but didn’t make any mentions of any MIL-STD tests.

The good news is that I managed to actually test this tablet and yes, it’s very much built as a regular, thin tablet, it doesn’t have those bulky, rubber edges. But the manufacturer thought out a neat trick and added a transparent protective case already on the device. That’s how you get it from the package and it is removable. This case adds a bit more inches, but only at the edges, so it ensures that the PAD P1 does survive some falls at an odd angle.

Additionally, there is a cover that goes over the screen as well which will help protect the 10-inch display, the most vulnerable part of the device. The resolution that AGM went for is 1,200 x 2,000 pixels which is more than enough for this size of display, but it is worth noting that the brightness is a bit average, so you may need to use it in some shade. I did run some benchmarks and actual games on the tablet which revealed that we’re dealing with a decent entry-to-midrange device. And that’s actually good considering the price tag of the tablet. These are some of the main specs:

• Helio G99 Chipset
• 256GB ROM (up to 2TB) + 8 GB RAM
• 7000 mAh Battery
• 10.36″ 2K Display
• Dual Box Stereo Speakers
• Dual SIM
• Android 13

As you can see, the AGM PAD P1 uses Android 13 and I do like that neither their smartphones, nor this tablet has any annoying bloatware. There are some unwanted apps, but all those comes from Google – the experience is pretty much stock-like. The speakers have proven to be strong and clear, but again, the main strengths are around how the tablet is capable to survive dust and water ingress.

So, if you need to use a fairly rugged tablet outdoors, but not really in a very industrial set (with corrosive substances and such), then do give the AGM PAD P1 a chance. I have added some links if you want to check out the tablet here:

This platform has been launched a year ago and Qualcomm has mentioned support for up to 16 stream, for the 320MHz channel bandwidth and for its ability to reach peak throughputs over 10Gbps. That’s impressive, but does the EnGenius ECW536 manage to support the entire spectrum of features? EnGenius mentions that these are the highlighted features of the WiFi 7 access point:

• The ECW536 supports a maximum theoretical data rate of 11,600Mbps on the 6GHz radio band, up to 5,800Mbps on the 5GHz radio and a maximum of 1,440Mbps on the 2.4GHz radio band. These should not be mistaken for actual throughput performance, since in my experience, the real life speed is usually about half (or even lower) than the advertised theoretical data rates. They’re still impressive numbers.

• The AP supports some of the advanced features that we saw on the WiFi 6E devices which includes OFDMA, 4×4 MU-MIMO and the EnGenius ECW536 also has a 10GbE port (PoE++). I know that one of the best features of the WiFi 7 standard is the MLO which stands for Multi-Link Operation and it’s the ability to transmit and receive data via different links. At the moment this article is posted, I have seen no mention that the EnGenius ECW536 supports this feature, but I assume it does since it’s one of the main reasons to move all the equipment to the WiFi 7 standard. I also assume that there will be support for 320MHz.

• The ECW536 is backwards compatible with older clients and this is an important factor to keep in mind because if you haven’t changed the WiFi adapter in all your devices, they’ll still work fine within a network created by a WiFi 7 AP. Of course, to actually make use of all (or some of) the advanced features, you do need to have compatible client devices.

• The WiFi 7 access point can be monitored and controlled using the centralized EnGenius Cloud platform. In a similar manner to the other Cloud-managed access points, the ECW536 can be configured and monitored remotely using the EnGenius Cloud platform. And it’s worth mentioning that the manufacturer has made some significant advancements in the security department, allowing the system admins to more easily fix client devices issues remotely, as well as prevent any potential intrusion.

That being said, is the market ready for the adoption of the WiFi 7 standard? I would argue that the SMBs and the home network users will not yet jump the bandwagon, but the enterprise market may see some benefit into an early adoption of this standard. I have mentioned several times before when I tested WiFi 6 and 6E devices that a lot of businesses will avoid those standards due to their transitory nature and I think that upgrading from WiFi 5 to WiFi 7 feels like a more natural transition.

And there is a lot to gain especially considering the almost-interference-free 6GHz will be available along with higher capacity and wider channel bandwidth. I think that the WiFi 7 will also bring the normalization of 10GbE Ethernet ports which is needed on enterprise networks. You can read more about the new WiFi 7 AP series and about the EnGenius ECW536 on the official website. It’s also worth mentioning that the ECW536 will be available in early Q4 of 2023.

And you can check out the Argus crowdfunding campaign from 2017 on Indiegogo. Lots of things have changed since then and the battery-powered Argus line is now able to stream clear 4K footage, something that was very difficult to accomplish on a battery-powered device only a few years ago.

Some other improvements that Reolink has made over the years are the addition of the auto-tracking and smart motion detection which ensures that no only is the camera able to tell apart people from other moving objects (including pets), but it can also lock onto ‘its target’, following it around. So, an intruder, once detected, won’t be able to quickly hide.

I remember when the Reolink RLC-811A was able to offer an impressive 5x zoom, but now, the newer models can easily go up to 16x optical zoom (should not be mistaken by the mostly inferior digital zoom technology).

I have also very recently mentioned that Reolink has made available the ColorX camera series which should help reproduce colored night vision with very little light input and without relying on a floodlight. It’s very similar to the NightChroma tech from ANNKE, so I can’t wait to see it in action on the Reolink CX410 (the review is coming very soon).

Besides the ‘Thank You, Argus Backer’ campaign, Reolink will host giveaways on their social media accounts, as well as customer rewards and AMA activities, plus the customers should be able to get 40% discounts on some smart Reolink security products between the 26th and the 28th of June 2023. If you’re interested in this campaign, check out the official campaign page which goes in far more detail about anniversary celebration campaign.

The ColorX needs a wider aperture to allow more light to pass through and the CX410 is indeed equipped with a lens that has an F/1.0 aperture (just like ANNKE NC400). This way, a dimly lit neighborhood should be as clear as during the day, but if it’s pitch black, the camera can turn on a 3,000K warm light to help the camera. The brightness is gradually increased to the needed level, so it doesn’t disturb the neighbors.

And I can attest to the importance of such a system after installing a camera partially pointing towards a trafficked area. When people would walk their dog, the camera would violently shine a bright light into their faces, so having a warmer, less powerful light is definitely welcomed. Besides the true night vision footage, Reolink has included the smart motion detection system and I can’t stress enough how important it is to have at least a semi-automatic system in place.

Hikvision cameras are notorious for requiring in-depth configuration of the smart detection, so it’s nice to see that Reolink has made the system simple and doesn’t require much adjustments. I have seen it in action on multiple Reolink cameras and it worked really well for car and human detection. There is also pet detection, but I can’t really vouch for its accuracy since I have no camera that has it installed.

The system works locally, so it doesn’t do the detection on the mothership server and it’s entirely possible to use the camera without enabling the subscriptions. Reolink does have a subscription system available, but only for footage storage, while you do have the option to rely on a microSD or on a compatible NVR, preferably something that supports PoE. The Reolink CX410 already has a dedicated page on the official website, so you can read more about it there and it’s also possible to check more info about the ColorX technology on the Reolink blog.

The idea behind the 3inuS KEBOHUB EE01 mechanical keyboard is to power it up using a laptop and then to connect the monitor, the mouse and even some phone chargers, so you don’t need to use a dedicated hub with your MacBook anymore. At the same time, I noticed that the maximum power output is 5V/5A – is that enough to keep all the peripherals alive?

Yes, 5 amperes should be more than enough for most peripherals alive, but the problem is that the output for a single port is actually 1.5A, at most. So, it may not be able to keep a portable monitor powered up (such as this one from Lepow). What I found interesting was the power cable has two connectors at the end. The idea is to use one USB-C port for delivering a total output of 1.5A for the USB-C1 and USB-A1 ports.

And, if you connect the secondary USB-C port, then each port will be able to output 1.5A. It’s pretty much obvious the targeted audience for the 3inuS KEBOHUB EE01 consists of MacBook users since Apple likes to position the two Thunderbolt ports together.

The annoying part is that the cable is permanently attached to the board which just asks for irreparable damage over time. It also means that we are not dealing with a Bluetooth keyboard, it’s only possible to connect it using the aforementioned cable. The silver lining is that the immediate consequence is a low latency when gaming.

The KEBOHUB EE01 keyboard itself offers hot-swappable switches and there are three types available, Red, Blue and Brown, but I was unable to find the actual brand (Gateron or something else). There are going to be 87 keys, so we’re dealing with a tenkeyless keyboard and, from what I could gather from their official page, it seems to be possible to do some modding (like adding some foam). The keyboard does support RGB (how else would you get those extra FPS?) and the manufacturer says that there are 18 different effects.

Since I mentioned the manufacturer, it’s worth noting that the keyboards are being created in the same factory as the Redragon keyboards (I tested a few a year back), so I suppose that 3inuS (Minus or Trinus?) does rely on their expertise to develop decent keyboards. The question remains whether people will be interested in getting this unusual device, especially the enthusiasts? I am not a stranger to weird mechanical keyboards because I have tested the Kwumsy K2 before, a mechanical keyboard that had a touchscreen display built in, so the 3inuS KEBOHUB EE01 mechanical keyboard is actually pretty tame in comparison.

But, as long as the keyboard works as intended, I suppose a lot of people will prefer to not have to carry with them an extra hub when the keyboard can do the same job, therefore occupying less space. The 3inuS KEBOHUB EE01 is available on Kickstarter for $84 at the moment of writing (40% off from future retail price) and up to May 4.

This offer includes an extra set of grey keycaps, four extra Windows keycaps, four extra corresponding switches, a key puller and a switch puller. If you want to know more about the hub / mechanical keyboard, then check it out on Kickstarter.com.

Statista.com shows that about 231.27 million users will have a smartwatch by 2026. Another interesting aspect that needs to be discussed is how the disruptive events of the past two years have had no negative impact on the smartwatch market, quite the contrary since the adoption has risen by several percentages. That’s because the smartwatch is not just a luxury item or an unnecessary extension to your smartphone, its medical applications put it far above that.

There are disclaimers over disclaimers that the smartwatch is not a medical device and should not be seen as a replacement for professional gear. While that’s undeniable, one can’t ignore the fact that the heart rate monitoring from some top brands (including Apple) have helped a lot of people to detect early signs of heart failure.

IMPORTANT: I have started a petition to bring some awareness about the damage that the proprietary smartwatch chargers bring to the environment and you can sign it here on Change.org.

The smartphone uses a standard universal charging port and so should the smartwatch

If you remember the days before the smartphone where each brand phone would have its own charging port and even between generations of devices from the same manufacturer, the port would have a very slight adjustment as to not be compatible between models. Then, the smartphone came into existence which has prompted the discussion on whether we should have a universal charging port. We first went through the microUSB phase reaching the far more efficient, versatile and powerful USB-C.

Apple is the last manufacturer that has resisted this change until very recently when Europe has demanded for Apple to comply and adopt the USB-C on its iPhone line.
I know that Apple makes a lot of money from selling accessories (see an interesting analysis from BusinessInsider), so it’s lucrative to try and circumvent the rules or just keep the charging port proprietary.

I do have to mention that while testing some smartphones, I have seen some cunning anti-consumer moves to circumvent the USB-C standard by narrowing the entrance towards the USB-C connector (AGM Glory Pro and H5 Pro are guilty of this behavior). This should give the obvious conclusion that the large tech brands don’t really have the best interest of the people in mind, but that of increased profit.

And the argument is not to limit the potential for extra revenue (arguably), but the devastating impact that this behavior has on the environment due to the ever growing e-waste. And if you thought that all electronics are recycled, well, this is what actually happens with the electronic waste: Electronic Waste Facts

How come the smartwatch doesn’t use USB-C?

A similar behavior to the pre-smartphone era can be observed when analyzing the smartwatch. I had the chance to test quite a few smartwatches from different price ranges the last few years and I saw that each brand had its own unique pattern of metallic pins. Unlike the charging port on a smartphone where you insert the cable, the smartwatch charging cable needs to attach magnetically to the rear side of the case. This has allowed the manufacturers to choose whichever pattern and size they wanted for the charging cable connector and while the common sense dictated that one metallic pins pattern would be enough for a smartwatch series, things took a very problematic path.

I recently tested the Amazfit T-Rex 2 which came with a charging cable seemingly identical to the Amazfit T-Rex Pro. I rejoiced at the thought that maybe I can use the same cable for both smartwatches, but that was not the case at all. At first glance, the position of the metallic pins seems identical on both smartwatches but on close inspection, we see that the manufacturer moved them slightly.

Nothing else has been changed, just this small adjustment so the user won’t be able to rely on the older cable. So yes, the problem got worse because now we have incompatibilities between generations of smartwatches and between different models within the same brand. And the reason why I think they got away with it is because the USB-C connector is too large to be implemented into smartwatches. Obviously, it’s not only Amazfit that engages in this behavior and I have seen it on most smartwatches brands out there.

What can be done to fix this problem?

As the title says, we need a standard charging solution for all smartwatches. I know that ideally, all devices should be able to be charged using a USB-C cable, but due to the nature of the smartwatches, this is pretty much impossible (the case is too small). Still, having a dedicated standard only for smartwatches would substantially limit the number of needed cables per household. For example, a family of four, all members using smartwatches could use one or two cables instead of four and for a lot longer since going for a newer generation of smartwatches would not require a new charging cable.

Some smartwatches can be charged wirelessly (Qi charging) and while I would entertain the possibility for all devices to have this technology built in, it’s not going to happen if the smartwatch costs less than $100. And the inexpensive smartwatches do constitute a large portion of the market, so the potential e-waste would not be negligible.

There is very little, to no talk about this issue, so it’s important to bring more awareness to the damage that millions of cables (most in perfect condition) thrown every year can do to the environment. I am really happy that all smartphones, including iPhones will now have a single charging port (hopefully this trend will propagate outside the EU) and I do hope that the smartwatch manufacturers can also be convinced to do the right thing and adhere to a universal charging standard.

I have tested the Argus PT 2K more than a half year ago and it was an excellent motorised security camera. So it’s nice to see that Reolink has upgraded the lens to 8-megapixel and it now supports 4K resolution, but this is not the only update because the camera now features a spotlight for colored night vision and the 2.4GHz limitation has been lifted, which means that it’s possible to connect to 5GHz as well (I am not sure if it’s 802.11ac yet, although it’s about time we leave the WiFi 4 behind).

These are some extra specs that Reolink made available:

• 4K 8MP Ultra UD
• 5/2.4GHz dual-band WiFi support
• Person/vehicle/pet detection
• Spotlight color night vision
• 355° pan & 140° tilt

  

The second camera from the Argus series is called Argus Track and it’s a very compact camera that’s designed to detect people and moving objects, and to automatically track them by using the pan and tilt motors. There are also two lenses for wide view (kind of similar to the Reolink Duo) and to zoom into the moving objects.

It’s an interesting concept and I do wonder how well the algorithms are able to ensure that the tracking and zooming are perfectly accurate (we’ll see after some tests are released). This camera is battery-powered and with other Argus cameras, I noticed that they could be powered on by a solar panel.

Since there is more to just filming, I do think that the battery will deplete a bit sooner than I would like, so yes, the solar panel can be very handy (for example, I have a Reolink Argus 3 powered by a small solar panel for almost a year and the battery remained full since then). These are some additional specs:

• Auto-zoom Tracking with two lenses and pan&tilt
• 2K 4MP Super HD
• Person/Vehicle/Pet detection
• Dual-view display through App
• 5/2.4Ghz Dual-band WiFi support
• Spotlight full-color night vision

The third main camera that was announced at the event is the Reolink RLC-81MA and it’s a PoE-powered dual lens camera with an 8-megapixel lens sensor and capable of reaching 4K in terms of resolution.

Additionally, the camera allows the user to see through both wide-angle and telephoto lenses at the same time, so, in a certain sense, the RLC-81MA can be considered some sort of a flagship device, sporting most of the newer features that Reolink has scattered across multiple series of cameras.

Then again, I assume that the flagship title will most likely be assigned to the 12-megapixel RLC-1212A and the RLC-1224A. You can see some more specs of the RLC-81MA here:

• 4K 8MP Ultra HD
• Dual Lens, Dual View
• Person/Vehicle/Pet detection
• Spotlight color night vision
• PoE
• Two-way audio

Besides these three cameras, Reolink has also launched the Duo 2 LTE and I have covered the original Duo, as well as the launch of the second gen with its multiple versions. The LTE is the latest variant sporting a battery-powered 4G dual-lens security camera which, thanks to its 6-megapixel sensor, it should be able to produce 180 degrees seamless panorama footage.

And, since it relies on 4G and not the regular WiFi, the camera can be positioned in remote areas. That’s not all because there is also a TrackMix LTE camera that’s going to be available this year which has a lot in common with the Argus Track in terms of functionality but just like the Duo 2 LTE, it relies on 4G to gain access to the Internet, making it suitable for areas where WiFi access is very limited.

Lastly, Reolink has announced the launch of a new camera lineup which focuses towards fisheye cameras which will use a 6-megapixel lens to offer a 360 degree panorama footage of the surroundings. For more info and updates, check out Reolink on their social media channel.

They’re far more powerful, so the light reaches both wider and deeper, making the Duo Spotlight suitable for very particular areas where no other light sources are present at all. Reolink says that the brightness reaches up to 2,000 lumens (assuming we’re talking about ANSI lumen) and the color temperature is 4,200K. Additionally, it is possible to set the floodlight to always stay on or off, as well as schedule when this function gets to be enabled (I haven’t tested the device, but I hope that there is a brightness sensor to turn on and off the floodlight as well).

All the other functions are there, so the resolution remains 4K and the 180 degrees wide angle without distortions that’s a characteristic for this series is also there. Furthermore, the smart motion detection is built into the camera, so the Duo Floodlight can tell apart humans from cars and other moving objects. There is also the pet detection which seems to still be in beta stage (hopefully, it got better during the last six months – I haven’t tested a camera that had this function yet).

Also, know that the smart motion detection is done locally, so there is no need for a Cloud subscription. And before, Reolink didn’t use to offer Cloud storage, but now it does, so, if you mind relying on an SD card or an NVR, then this is an option that the manufacturer currently offers. It’s worth mentioning that there are two versions available for the new camera. One is called the Duo Floodlight PoE and the other is called the Duo Floodlight WiFi.

The former lacks a WiFi chip and can connect either via the Ethernet cable, while the latter is designed to be able to connect to your WiFi network. Also, both cameras are built to withstand the elements, being IP66 certified, so neither dust nor water should be able to enter the enclosure and damage the devices. At the moment of writing, the Reolink Duo Floodlight PoE and the Duo Floodlight WiFi are available for pre-order and, if you want, you can read more on the official website

Which is why it’s very much possible that the manufacturers may pass the WiFi 6E standard and go directly to the WiFi 7 that not only has all the features of the former but adds a few new ones. One such tech is the MLO which stands for Multi-Link Operation, and it is a phenomenal addition, capable of improving the efficiency of a network in a significant way. That’s because it allows the compatible client devices to connect to more than one WiFi band at the same time.

Yes, I know that we have been connecting to one band at a time up until now regardless of the standard, but that’s about to change, for the better considering that the target is lower latency and a better throughput. Obviously, the Omada WiFi 7 access points will support the 802.11be, while it’s still in its first draft stages, so not all the features that are advertised as part of the WiFi 7 standard will be immediately supported. And this makes sense since it’s common when you’re an early adopter.

So far, TP-Link has named two WiFi 7 access points, one is called the Omada EAP780 and the other is the Omada EAP770. Both of these devices are tri-band and hopefully will support MLO not only on the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz radio bands, but also on the 6GHz band as well.

Furthermore, the Omada EAP780 will have two 10Gbps ports, so a powerful PoE switch will also be required – not to worry because the manufacturer already had made a few available, such as the TL-SX3206HPP.
The Omada EAP770 will have a single 10GbE port and the maximum theoretical data transfer rate should be 11Gbps, as opposed to the 22Gbps of the Omada EAP780. I know what you’re going to ask. Why should we care about WiFi 7 devices, when there isn’t really a mass adoption of the WiFi 6 yet, let alone the WiFi 6E.

It’s going to take some time before we’ll see WiFi 7 access points and routers that aren’t in draft stage, so I suppose at least 2-3 years until we should see more WiFi 7 client devices. Those that wish to skip the WiFi 6E standard altogether and want to be early adopters are the targeted audience but do be aware that some software updates will be available, but some hardware changes may also be required to get the full spectrum of features). In terms of availability, both the Omada EAP780 and the EAP770 WiFi 7 access points should become available throughout the Q1 and Q2 of 2023.

And EnGenius says that it’s built with not only SMBs in mind, but also to be suitable for the people that aren’t as tech-savvy. I am not sure about the degree of control that it will offer, but it does seem to be tailored for most users, without needing to constantly ask a system admin for troubleshooting. It’s worth noting that at the moment, the Cloud access is completely free and there are no additional features at extra costs.

Another interesting aspect is the new on-premises hardware controller called EnGenius FitController which is a plug-n-play solution, and it allows both local network administration, as well as the management of multiple networks via a single portal done remotely. The EnGenius FitController is very similar to another hardware controller that I tested some years back called the SkyKey I, but we will wait and see if it’s an improved version of that device or a completely new approach to on-premises controllers.

Besides the software and controller aspect, EnGenius will make available a completely new line of access points consisting of two indoors WiFi 6 APs and one Outdoor AP which, if we were to follow the advertised theoretical throughput, they do look a bit less equipped than the current ECW line. But then again, it does seem that EnGenius wants to create a clearer line between the SMB series which doesn’t need that much power (since the networks are, in general smaller) and the more demanding enterprise-level hardware.

The new Fit PoE switches seems to be Gigabit-only, which again, it makes sense for an SMB environment, but the good news is that there is a lot of variety. There is an 8-port PoE switch which is the base model, followed by a couple of 24-port PoE+ switches with varying capacity, but the same PoE budget and, lastly, there are a couple of 48-port PoE+ switches. It’s worth noting that all switches have SFP ports in case you want to use fiber and inter-link networks over longer distances. I do expect to see some gateways as well to complete the entire Fit ecosystem, but so far, I saw no news about anything like that being close to release.

What’s going to happen with the current ECW line? Well, I suspect that there is going to be support for a long time and perhaps an integration towards an enterprise environment, especially since the ECW220S and the ECW230S came with some unique features that made the life of system administrators a whole lot easier. There is also the WiFi 6E line which I am very curious where it will lead in the future. That being said, if you like the EnGenius hardware and software, and want to use the new APs and switches with clients that are a bit more budget-constrained, do keep an eye on what the manufacturer has to offer with its new EnGenius Fit line.
