PawsCam is a wireless camera that allows you to see what your dog is doing no matter where you are. Setup and registration is a simple process, and after you’re done you attach PawsCam to your dog’s collar. Motion and light sensors in the camera will detect when your dog is doing something interesting, record a short six second video clip, and upload it wirelessly to a free cloud service that you can view from any connected device.
PawsCam is small and light enough that most dogs won’t mind wearing it, but it might be a little uncomfortable or awkward for a dog that’s the size of a cat. The camera is water and dust resistant, and battery life lasts between 4 to 5 days on a single charge. The camera is only 480p, and can be a little shaky on a moving dog. But seeing what your dog is up to during the day is a nice escape when you’re at work. The whole experience helps you feel more connected to your dog.
The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
