With two major shopping events just around the corner, many potential buyers are wondering whether it's better to take advantage of the initial Fourth of July deals, or wait until Prime Day a few days later. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing which sale will offer the absolute best prices, but it's likely that both will blur into a single massive shopping event that spans multiple days and retailers. With that in mind, we'd lean toward getting your order in sooner rather than later. While there's a slight chance we'll see prices dip a little lower later in the sale, there's a much greater chance that the best bargains will sell out fast. If you see a TV that fits your needs and budget at a good price, we'd recommend grabbing it before it goes out of stock. Which retailers offer the best July 4th TV deals? As you might expect, major retailers like Best Buy and Amazon will be offering some excellent deals for the Fourth of July and Prime Day. You'll also want to check out smaller online-only retailers like B&H Photo and Adorama, as they may be offering some under-the-radar bargains that aren't being matched elsewhere.

I tested Eufy's E28 3-in-1 robot vacuum, and it's a triple threat for quick cleaning
Overall cleaning performance: 70.4Pet hair score: 82.5Suction power: 20,000 PaSize: 19 x 17.3 x 14.6 inchesModes: Mopping, Vacuuming, Spot cleaningDustbin bag capacity: 3LSmart home compatibility: Alexa, Siri, Google, Eufy app After a promising yet clumsy first generation, some of the best robot vacuums are having a second renaissance, with big-name manufacturers getting in on the action and loading them with ever-impressive features and tech. These auto janitors promise to love the laborious jobs you hate, including vacuuming floors, self-emptying dustbins, and even mopping. Offering instant appeal, particularly for messy households, time-poor professionals, and those who might not be as mobile as they once were. I've previously owned the Eufy RoboVac 11S, and while it helped me keep on top of household cleaning, its lack of map function meant it forever needed to be rescued from chair bases and under sofas. Now, here comes Eufy with the Omni E28, a premium 3-in-1 model that not only vacuums and mops but also spot cleans. But can it do these jobs well, saving you space, time, and effort? Prepare your wallets — the Eufy will set you back $999.99, which isn't cheap for a robot vac and mop, though remember, it comes with a detachable spot cleaner. It also undercuts the pricier $1,499 Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni, which only features a dual vac and mop. You can also opt for the cheaper Eufy E25, which costs $899.99 and is essentially the same as the E28, minus the spot cleaner. You also need to replace the 3-liter dustbag once full, which Eufy sells for $18.99 for a pack of three. There's also the matter of buying detergent, which is available for $20.99 for one bottle, which reportedly lasts 3-6 months. The E28 is now available to buy on Eufy's website or via Amazon. The E28 is quite the unit — unlike smaller robot vacs you can discreetly place under a chair, this one, with its boxy base station and deep cleaner hose compartment, takes a fair bit of space. The recommended clearance area is 20 inches on either side, so consider that in your placement. Even though it comprises an all-plastic design, the cleaner looks the part, with its transparent water tank and illuminated status ring, which glows red if there's a problem. The detachable deep cleaner sits atop the base and comes with a handle for you to lift, taking the clean and dirty water tanks with you. Its hose is also hidden from view with a removable cover, so while the base unit isn't exactly subtle, everything looks neat and tidy, with no unnecessary clutter. The vacuum and mop robot sticks out from the base unit about halfway, taking up nearly all the ramp space. This roundish device packs a dodgem-styled bumper at the front and various sensors at the front and rear, including a top sensor — so it can literally read the room, a detachable, clear plastic plate for accessing the dustbin, plus two illuminated buttons, one to send the unit home and the other to pause or turn off the device. Underneath are two spinning brushes, two detangling roller brushes, a wide roller mop, and three wheels, two of which are of the chunky variety on a spring suspension system for navigating uneven surfaces. One of the detangling brushes sits on an extendable arm for tackling those pesky hard-to-reach corners. Cheerios Kitty litter Pet hair Hardwood floor 55 95 85 Carpet 35 72.5 80 We put robot vacuums through their paces using standardized tests so we can objectively measure their performance against different models. Alongside everyday usage, I placed the Eufy E28 within a 5-by-5 foot space with Cheerios, pet hair, and kitty litter on a laminated hardwood floor and low-pile carpet. I used 20g of Cheerios, 20g of kitty litter, and 5g of pet hair to determine how much the vacuum sucks up and how much remains as a percentage. While the E28 performed well with the kitty litter and pet hair tests, only missing a few morsels, it weirdly struggled with the Cheerios. It refused to clean the entire marked-off area, leading me to surmise that it confuses bunched-up groups of the cereal as obstacles to avoid rather than objects to suck up. I even ran the same test a few times to make sure the result wasn't an outlier, with similar results. Finally, I tried a few handfuls of Cheerios across a wider area, and while it still avoided congregations of the hoop-based cereal, it was more eager to pick up smaller groups and strays. Most probably a case of the object detection working against itself. As you can see from the table, the Cheerios test score puts the E28 way below its rivals, even though it has fairly comparable scores for the kitty litter and pet hair tests. That's a little disappointing and hopefully something Eufy can rectify via a future firmware update. I have to add that this didn't reflect my experience of the E28 during everyday use, where it had no such issues hoovering up individual bits of dirt and debris, albeit neglecting the odd bit here and there. When in use for the first time, it'll do a quick tour of the rooms to create a map you can see on the app before getting to work cleaning. It can also avoid things like shoes, wires, bins, and other rogue items. Its CornerRover feature is pretty neat, extending out the spinning brush for corner coverage, which most vacuums have trouble with, let alone circular robo vacs. Overall score Cereal Kitty litter Pet hair Eufy E28 70.4 45 83.75 82.5 Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni 88.6 94.7 98.7 72.5 Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 94.6 99.8 91.5 92.5 Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra 91.26 99.8 95.73 78.25 Samsung JetBot AI+ 89.51 99.63 90.4 78.5 Roomba j7+ 91.81 98.33 94.6 82.5 Roomba s9+ 96.82 92.5 100 98 Roborock S4 Max 96.25 98.38 96.38 94 At one point, it clambered over the sloped base of a toilet and got itself wedged between that and the wall, Austin Powers style. Still, besides this, it generally does a decent job of getting around and out of tight spaces like under sofas and horizontal chair legs. Another quirk I've noticed is that the sides occasionally bump into things like table legs and other objects, while it has no problem giving bigger obstacles like toys and wires a wider berth. When done, it'll happily trundle back to its base station to deposit its findings into the base unit's dustbag and to wash its mop. Be aware that its self-clean function is loud, particularly when it's extracting the waste from the vac to the dust bag. The base unit sits in the home office, and it's proved quite a din for 10 seconds or so after cleaning. Back to the good stuff. The base station takes a lot of the hassle out of the grimy bits of cleaning, like wringing mops dry or emptying a dusty bin. I hate the double chore of a manual vac and mop job, so by combining these functions automatically, you get a floor that's spick and span in a fraction of the time. You still need to do some supplementary hoovering, such as in tighter spaces, on steps, and with the odd bit it's missed, but the E28 genuinely saves you a lot of time and effort so you can do something else. That's a big tick in my book, even if certain test results were more middling. The E28 does a great job of mopping solid floors with a comprehensive level of coverage, leaving surfaces shiny and not too wet. The mop can also distinguish between hard floors and carpets or rugs before automatically lowering and raising the roller accordingly. You can also adjust the level of water used for a lighter or deeper clean, and the base unit discharges detergent automatically into the robot, so there's no need for continual top-ups. The detachable deep cleaner also does well on stains on carpets and fabrics. I tried it on some stains on a rug and delicate soda fabric, and it's lifted them right out. Be aware that the brush head is just over 3 inches wide, so it's suited more for spot cleaning rather than whole carpets. The Eufy E28 cleverly integrates into the Eufy's main app, which I have for its security cameras, so you're able to control both systems in one. The app allows for an impressive level of customization, including how much suction you want the vac to use, whether you want to mop, vac, or both, and setting no-go areas and auto-cleaning schedules. The map editor is also fairly intuitive and flexible, letting you save up to five maps, where you can select which rooms to clean and which to avoid. While it won't replace your standard vacuum anytime soon, the Eufy E28 does an acceptable job of hoovering floors, even if there's some work to do with object identification, causing it to be overzealous when avoiding certain debris. At nearly a grand in price, I was expecting it to nail all the tests and be a no-brainer purchase, but it fell short with the Cheerios, even though its day-to-day work was generally good. The star of the show is undoubtedly its mop, which removes most of the inconveniences of manual mopping, leaving floors shiny and clean as if you're running around with a mop head several times per week. Its deep cleaner is also a worthwhile addition, particularly if you don't own one.

My 7 Easy Ways to Keep Hackers Out of Your Security Cameras
Home security cameras strive to offer peace of mind and security so you really shouldn't feel additional stress about someone hacking them and watching through it. However, there have been such incidents in the past, which include an ADT technician secretly accessing customer cameras and a Wyze glitch that left its users' footage exposed to strangers, not to mention the hundreds of Reddit users who have discovered knock-off cams that send data to foreign IP addresses. The good news? If you choose one of the best home security cameras, you should be safe because these usually avoid such problems. Also, to counter these kinds of issues, data security has improved considerably in recent years. Camera hacking is a rare occurence and advanced techniques like signal spoofing or blocking are far beyond the abilities of the average burglar. But if you're still paranoid about keeping your security cameras extra secure, I've put together my top steps to keep your cameras hack-free and helpful. The 2nd-gen Arlo Essential Indoor cam is an all-around nanny cam winner. Arlo/Amazon 1. Don't buy knockoff camera models or used cameras It doesn't matter how good the deals are, quality matters more when choosing a security camera. Avoid buying from unknown brands, purchasing products that are clearly knockoffs of the real deal or purchasing from electronic companies on the US' official no-no list, which includes Huawei, ZTE and others. A similar and frustratingly common problem is buying used cameras on eBay, Craigslist or other listings. You don't know what software is still on that camera, no matter who promises it's wiped. This is one of the only ways an enterprising cybercriminal can gain access to random homes, so stay away from used models. 2. Look for companies that practice end-to-end encryption End-to-end encryption simply means that data from your device is encrypted before it goes anywhere. If that data gets intercepted via Wi-Fi hacking, or if it's stolen online, thieves won't be able to make sense of it, see video in it or use it for anything. That also makes it harder to identify and take control of any devices like cameras. Additionally, it means companies keep the data encrypted on their servers until you or another authorized entity access it, so random employees can't snoop through it. Companies like Ring and Arlo offer the option to enable full end-to-end encryption, which is always a good idea. Companies like Arlo and Nest have partial end-to-end encryption but decrypt the data at certain points for analysis and other purposes, which is good but not quite as robust. Some cams keep video storage entirely offline to increase security but they're still connected to the internet. Lorex/Amazon 3. Search for brands that have good data security track records At CNET, we work to keep you updated on when companies have data breaches, change security policies (for better or worse) or run into unexpected security vulnerabilities in their devices. But it's also a good idea to check on any security brands yourself before you buy from them, to see if there has been any recent vulnerability found or data breach by employees, etc. If a company has repeated or very recent security issues, you should probably find a different option. Note that some brands like Lorex keep video data off the cloud entirely and only analyze with onboard algorithms to help cut down video tampering. 4. Practice good password management for Wi-Fi and apps If a cybercriminal can gain access to a weak home Wi-Fi system, they can often find and try to use many connected devices, including security cameras. Strong router security is the first line of defense against any of these problems. Choose strong passwords for your Wi-Fi and your camera app, enable Wi-Fi encryption and turn on any firewalls that you can live with. Consider enabling a VPN and creating a guest network for further protection. Finally, when you go through major life changes like a big move or a breakup, it's a really good idea to change your passwords, too. Basic security like strong password protection is also great for your cameras. Blink 5. Always update your camera and hub with the latest patches Turn on automatic updates if available and check your phone or tablet to make sure updates always go through to your security camera app. Regularly log into your camera app so it can search for updates if necessary. These updates don't just fix bugs or add features, they also patch security vulnerabilities and improve overall security. 6. Enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) when possible If your security camera uses two-factor authentication for logins, enable it. Logins then require you to authenticate it from another channel, like a text, email or facial recognition. That way a stranger or someone remote can't log into the camera app as easily. Nest's indoor camera relies on cloud storage but the company has a very good security track record. Chris Monroe/CNET 7. Keep your security cameras away from neighbors Neighbors are very unlikely to mess with your security cameras unless they're openly malicious -- or annoyed. While some dedicated people may try to spy on your camera signals, neighbors are more likely to vandalize cams they don't like or find ways to disable them -- an old-school type of "hacking" that's nonetheless annoying. Avoid problems like these by following my guide on recording audio and video around your home. Generally, keep your security cameras well away from neighbors. If you share a wall with a neighbor, try to avoid mounting a security camera on it. And keep your cams as far away from your neighboring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth range as possible. FAQs Just how risky is getting a home security camera? It's not risky at all. Encryption practices and security measures are better than ever, and no random cybercriminals really want to hack into security cameras. It's a waste of time compared to other pursuits. You're far more at risk of a data breach when the camera company itself is attacked, which still sometimes happens -- like when hackers stole the addresses of some ADT customers in summer 2024. However, many cameras offer local storage and other measures to keep as much info offline as possible and indoor cams often come with lens covers for added protection. Our guide to no-subscription cameras has more info. What types of people even try to hack a security camera? Not many. It's usually either an angry ex or family member who already has access to the security camera login info, or a pervy monitoring center employee who eventually gets caught (and new encryption practices now work to prevent the latter). Sometimes, a neighborhood kid will exploit horrible wireless security management to mess around, too. But cybercriminals aren't interested in spying through your cams and burglars just hide cameras of their own. Are there any signs that my security cams have been hacked? If your camera has an LED indicator light, you can look for the indicator turning on at odd times. Or you can search your app for unexpected captured videos if you use video storage. When other people get access to security cameras, they also like to mess around with the two-way audio to scare or confuse owners. For an even deeper dive into home security cameras, take a look at the spots you never want to install a cam, the right way to install cameras and the best overall wireless cameras.
