Expand Reolink NVR storage space – Installing and configuring hard disks correctly
In this article, I will give a structured overview of the Reolink NVR models – maximum hard disk size and storage capacity and show what really matters when choosing the right HDD. A Reolink NVR is the central element of a camera surveillance system – and the storage strategy determines how long recordings remain available and how stable the system runs. I go into detail about the differences between RLN36, RLN16-410, RLN8-410 and RLN12W, explain the maximum hard disk size per model, show the correct choice of surveillance HDD and document the complete installation including formatting and storage management. I also explain how an NVR works with multiple HDDs and…

Automatic litter box test: Self-cleaning litter box without odor – Mova LR10
Self-cleaning litter boxes promise less effort, better hygiene and much more pleasant use in everyday life.

Lymow One in test: Robot mower without boundary wire with RTK navigation and chain drive
The Lymow One robotic lawnmower is one of the most exciting developments in the field of robotic lawnmowers without a boundary wire. My test shows how far modern RTK navigation, VSLAM, a robust chain drive and a wide mowing deck can simplify work on large lawns. The focus is on performance, precision and off-road capability – characteristics that I was able to test extensively on my own property and another larger test area. The report summarizes all the important aspects: from design and scope of delivery, set-up, mapping and app control to mowing performance, cutting pattern, obstacle detection and practice on uneven terrain. In addition to the test, I provide…

Hcalory TB MAX 8 kW diesel heater in a practical test – compact all-in-one heater for camping, workshops and motorhomes
The Hcalory TB MAX 8 kW diesel heater is one of the most modern diesel parking heaters and combines a compact design, smart app control and high heat output with low consumption. In my detailed test, I show how the diesel parking heater performs in the motorhome, when camping or in the workshop, which technical innovations distinguish it from older Vevor models and which safety functions make the heater special. In addition to the manufacturer’s portrait of Hcalory, it covers design, technology, installation, CO monitoring and automatic start-stop – right through to a comparison with other diesel parking heaters and my practical test in the animal house and garden shed.
