Home security is a hot topic right now, many people are keen to keep an eye on their property when they're out of the house. And with the advances in technology, this is becoming much easier.
Video doorbells and easy-to-use cameras are available from a number of brands. And one that's been highly praised is the Tapo TC82 Outdoor Security Camera.
When compared to a big name rival, shoppers described the Tapo as "better than any Ring". Currently, it's better than half price on Amazon too, down from £99.99 to £46.99.
As well as this 53 per cent saving, the Tapo TC82 offers crystal clear 2k resolution and full night vision. Its battery can last for several months, according to shoppers, and it boasts a solar panel which can provide extra power from direct sunlight.
Unlike rival models, this camera doesn't need a monthly subscription, so after buying the product and a microSD card, you don't need to fork out any more.
The Tapo TC82 is built to withstand rain, dust, and heat, meaning it won't suffer from being outside in the ever-changing Scottish climate. And the Tapo app allows users to monitor their space wirelessly from anywhere as well as offering two-way audio to interact with visitors.
For those seeking alternatives, the Ring Spotlight Camera, which comes with built-in LED lights, is £129.99 on Amazon. Over at Argos, the Blink Outdoor 4 HD Smart Security Camera is available for £69.99.
The Tapo TC82 Outdoor Security Camera has been widely praised by customers and boasts an impressive 4.4 rating on Amazon, where it has had more than 15,000 five-star reviews.
One user said: "This product is top quality. In my opinion it hands down beats some other market leading products. So far, four weeks up and the solar panel is working perfectly.
"The camera is picking up every detected motion and works seamlessly with my Tapo doorbell on the app. Good picture quality, audio is clear, only a half second lag which is good seeing it comes via WiFi."
Someone else agreed, writing: "What a camera. I wanted a decent camera and not too expensive, what a choice. I rate this better than any Ring I've seen and my friends are selling their Ring camera and buying these ones instead. Grab yourself a bargain, a truly amazing camera."
However, a few poorer reviews mentioned connectivity issues. One shopper said: "Was 100 per cent satisfied with this camera and was actually writing a five-star review when it suddenly lost connection after one day of use.
Tech deal of the week
Shoppers keen to take their fitness to the next level would benefit from purchasing a smartwatch.
One of which is on the popular Jugeman Smartwatch. Normally retailing for £99.99, shoppers can now snap up this 4.8 star rated gadget with the pink strap for only £22.79 in a limited time deal.
Boasting a 1.92-inch HD touch screen, shoppers can truly make this smartwatch their own as it comes with over 220 personalised watch faces to choose from.
Featuring an ultra lightweight design to provide a comfortable and relaxed fit, the smartwatch will monitor your heart rate throughout the day as well as analyse your sleep. On top of this, the budget watch can track over 113 sports and monitor how many calories you have burned.
Shoppers will also be able to use a range of other features, such as music control, weather forecast, find my phone, as well as receive calls, texts and social media notifications
One delighted shopper said: "I'm genuinely impressed with this smartwatch! It looks sleek and modern, and the bright display is easy to read even in daylight. The features are exactly what I need fitness tracking, notifications, heart rate monitoring, and more.
"The orange strap adds a fun and sporty touch, and it's surprisingly comfortable to wear all day. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the battery life is better than expected.

"I went through all the troubleshooting steps advised by TP Link, I contacted their support who gave the usual 'reset and check 2g internet' steps which was quite disappointing. The final straw was when it didn't even connect to my router via a cable. I could see the camera on my router settings but the camera just would not connect."
But others were delighted, with a five-star reviewer branding it "one of the best cameras on the market." They said: "I have two Ring doorbells and they can't do half of what this camera can do! And what is even better is all you need is a SD card, which I pay £10 for instead of paying the £49 a year for a Ring doorbell."
Someone else added: "The Tapo TC82 2K Security Camera offers amazing value for money. Whether you're looking to enhance your home security or just want to keep an eye on things outside, this camera checks all the boxes.
"Excellent video quality, reliable person detection, solar-powered, easy setup, and free storage. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a dependable, low-maintenance outdoor camera."
And a sixth shopper hailed the battery life as "excellent", saying: "Mine is on the shade most of the time but I had to charge it only once in three months."

I tried Clydebank's new Bangin' Pizza hotspot
Friday night, the beginning of many workers' weekend and what a way to kick start the two-day break than trying Clydebank's newest hot-spot for grub. Bangin' Pizza has just opened on the town's Kilbowie Road, and it was jumping. The third member of its franchise, the brand already has successful shops in Johnstone and Dumbarton, delighting customers with its unique mix of music and pizza. By the time I was being served my pizzas, there was a line of five or six out of the door. (Image: Newsquest) (Image: Newsquest) For only being officially opened for a few days, the store was a buzz with customers queuing out the door. It was clear bankies knew the hype surrounding this new spot. I placed my order of two pizzas, one plain La Marinara and a recommendation of the Highlander (the most expensive on the menu). Topped off with a portion of the Bangin' Fries. My total was £28. The scran. (Image: Supplied) I was buzzing to get tucked in, but a half-hour wait is what comes with a busy Friday and a newly opened, in-demand commodity. An introductory menu is in place for the soft launch of the new venue, offering five pizza choices and four sides. I've been fortunate enough to have visited Naples, the home of the beloved doughy creation, only recently, so I was ready to set this Scottish-Italian twist against the homeland. First off the La Marinara Pizza is priced at a decent £9.50. A simple, but delicious tribute to the heart of Italian food. The thin base was the perfect homage to the country's pizza, with a hearty dough, packed with flavour and piping hot. The tomato-based sauce was sweet on the tongue, dusted with some oregano to give it an extra kick; it was everything an Italian would want from a pizza. Classic, original and punching with flavour. Along with the generous pricing, this thoroughly deserved a 10/10. READ MORE: More than £3.5m worth of drugs found in home Onto the Highlander, topped with Stornoway black pudding and smoked Ayrshire bacon, this treat was a sensation for the taste buds. Highlander Pizza with San Marzano sugo, Stornoway Black Pudding, smoked Ayrshire bacon, Neapolitan Fior di Latte cheese, fresh basil, Scottish mature cheddar, a dusting of Pecorino romano and a drizzle of Abruzzo EVOO. (Image: Newsquest) It was denser than the first pizza, but it was for a reason. The toppings were plentiful, evenly spread and generously given. The black pudding was the cherry on the cake, absolutely beautiful. Although i favoured the first, my friend who grabbed a bit of this one was delighted. I'd give it a strong 9/10.

At first, when I opened them, I was expecting a bit more from them to be named after the brand. Bangin' Fries. (Image: Newsquest) However, when I grabbed a bite, my opinion changed. They were perfectly seasoned, not too salty, just the right amount. A strong start for the sides, I rate this a 8/10. These pizzas were a true testament to some of the delish bites I sampled in Naples, they were delicious and hearty food that I will easily be finding myself going back for. Despite a newly opened shop and a packed queue of customers, there was no compromise of taste, presentation or service. It was clear the restaurant is looking for authentic, heartfelt food whilst bringing in their music background with plenty of tunes whilst you wait. In my opinion, it was in fact ,Bangin'.
