The Roborock Qrevo Curv is a powerful robot vacuum that’s capable of climbing over thresholds up to 4 centimeters tall. However, some users are experiences issues with the feature — instead of climbing over the obstacle, their robot is simply turning around or getting stuck. Thankfully, Roborock offers a way to help overcome this problem. Here’s how to quickly improve the threshold-clearing ability of your Roborock Qrevo Curv
While the Roborock Qrevo Curv should climb over tall thresholds automatically, some thresholds may not register properly. This causes the robot vacuum to either struggle to climb over them into the next room or avoid them entirely. If either is happening to you, here’s how you can solve the problem.
Step 1: Load the Roborock mobile app.
Step 2: Select your Qrevo Curv and press Enter.
Step 3: Select the menu button at the top of the screen. This is the icon with three small dots.
Step 4: Select Floor Cleaning Setting.
Step 6: You’ll now see a map of your home. Below the map are three buttons — Floor Type, Carpet, Threshold.
Step 7: Select Threshold, then press the Plus button to create a new threshold.
Step 8: Resize and move the new threshold to the location on the map that corresponds to the spot in your home that's giving the robot trouble. Note that the threshold can be resized and rotated, allowing you to get a perfect fit for all layouts. You can also pinch and zoom on the map to place it in areas that are cramped.
Step 9: Once you’ve placed the threshold, select the checkmark button to save your settings.
That’s it! Your Roborock Qrevo Curv should now recognize the threshold properly and attempt to climb over it with more gusto. If this doesn’t work, you can also try changing your Reactive Obstacle Avoidance Settings, which can be found in the same menu as the Floor Cleaning Settings. If none of this works, you may need to contact Roborock support or remeasure the height of your thresholds. If it’s over 3cm (4cm for double-layer thresholds), then the height is not supported.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
