  • Robot lawn mower without boundary wire in test: LiDAR vs RTK in comparison (ANTHBOT M5 vs M9)

    Two Anthbot robotic lawnmowers stand side by side on green grass, the sunlight illuminating their wheels and sensors in a backyard or garden. www.commaik.de

    Robot mowers without boundary wires are currently one of the most exciting developments in the gardening sector. In my test, I directly compared two different concepts: the ANTHBOT M5 as a LiDAR robotic lawnmower and the ANTHBOT M9 as an RTK robotic lawnmower with GPS navigation. Both models manage completely without a perimeter wire and show in the practical test how well cordless robotic lawn mowers really work today. In this comparison, I share my experiences from my own garden, discuss navigation, obstacle detection, edge cutting and set-up and clarify which robotic lawnmower without a wire is the best choice for which area of application.

  • The best Reolink 4k PTZ surveillance cameras in comparison: 823S2 vs 823S1 vs TrackMix vs TrackFlex in test

    A 4K PTZ Reolink security camera monitors a man walking towards a large house at dusk. A digital overlay highlights the camera's facial recognition and zooms in on the man's face with a blue square frame. www.commaik.de

    For me, Reolink is one of the most exciting manufacturers of modern 4K PTZ surveillance cameras for indoor and outdoor use. In this Reolink surveillance camera comparison, I analyze several high-performance models – from classic PTZ cameras with optical zoom to dual-lens and floodlight variants for outdoor use. The focus is on image quality, motion detection, night vision, PoE vs. WLAN, local storage without a subscription and the question of which camera is really suitable for large properties, driveways or security-relevant areas. I will show you my practical experience with the RLC-823S2, RLC-823S1, TrackMix and TrackFlex and categorize the models technically and strategically. The aim of this article is to…

    A black Reolink NVR device is shown against a gray background. A large text in German reads "Hard disk retrofitting". The Reolink logo appears in the bottom left corner. www.commaik.de

    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…

    Self-cleaning litter boxes promise less effort, better hygiene and much more pleasant use in everyday life. Many cat owners are increasingly focusing on automatic solutions, especially if they have several cats or little time. With the MOVA MeowgicPod LR10 Prime, I tested a new litter tray in everyday use for several weeks – including set-up, app setup, cleaning cycles and use by two cats. This article is about my experience with a self-cleaning litter box that does many things differently to conventional litter boxes.

    A Lymow One robotic lawnmower with tank-like tracks sits on a well-manicured lawn, surrounded by green grass and some fuzzy bushes in the background. www.commaik.de

    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…
