  Review: Lenco BTL-450 Bluetooth tower speaker (productReview)
  The video below demonstrates one lighting mode, but doesn't full convey the sound quality of the speaker as much as the quality of our camera microphone... There's also a built-in FM radio with auto-scan if you don't fancy any of your own music.

  It works alongside the ZUS app which includes a mileage log and also works with other Nonda products including a tyre pressure monitor, reversing camera and an OBD II connector for monitoring your vehicle status. What's it like?

  It features a big 6.2-inch touchscreen, maps of Europe with lifetime updates, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free mobile calls, traffic updates, speed limit warnings and safety camera alerts. All of this is wrapped up in a neatly presented unit that will set you back around £159.99, undercutting myriad similar six-inch options from rival brands. What’s it like?

  Review: Sphero Mini (productReview)
  There are various different driving methods - you can use a standard virtual joystick, the tilt control or even with your lovely face. The latter uses the front-facing camera on your mobile phone, with expressions and head tilts corresponding to different directions. However, when it comes down to it, the ball mostly just rolls around in one place or zooms off in a random direction whenever the required scowl, shock face or sad expression is made.

  In short, this means you can charge a laptop in 2-3 hours, a mobile phone up to 10 times and things like coolers, cameras and small appliances while on a camping trip.

  Review: Shenen 7.0-inch sat nav (productReview)
  More complicated motorway junctions are also presented in a pictorial form, aiding guidance. Useful features like speed camera warnings and speed limit reminders further serve to curb the stress of a journey.

  Honest John Kit Award Winners 2019 (Article)
  We've raved about the YI Smart this year, so it's no surprise that it takes the prize for best dash cam under £100 - especially as it sits comfortably under that figure at around £50. It's fairly inexpensive but outperforms cameras that are more than twice the price. The footage is very good, it's easy to use with a simple menu layout and is proving reliable too. It goes out of stock online fairly regularly though, so grab it while you can.

  Review: Michelin Fit2Go Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (productReview)
  An aftermarket TPMS is a useful investment for those with older vehicles that don't offer in-built tyre pressure monitoring systems - as well for those who want to keep an eye on towed trailers, horseboxes or the like. Much like a dash camera , it's much better to have the device and not need it than wish you'd had it after a tyre blows out and leaves you stranded. This offering from Michelin is simple to fit and use with no batteries to change in the sensors or display unit and no cables to route around your vehicle.

  Review: Airlabs Airbubbl (productReview)
  The Airbubbl is hooked up to the car's 12v socket via a USB lead and a dual port 12v adaptor - which is provided. The adaptor has two USB slots, so you can charge your phone or run something like a dash camera at the same time. Unfortunately, our Nextbase 512GW dash cam uses a 12v cable, so we could only use our dash cam or the Airbubbl - rather than using both at once. This won't be an issue if you have a USB port in your car as well, though.

  Review: TomTom Go Camper (productReview)
  This means you get all of the route and traffic features of the standard TomTom, with the peace of mind that the Go Camper won't take you on a route that will leave you stuck down a small road that isn't suitable for the weight and/or size of your van.  As with the majority of TomToms, world maps and traffic updates and safety camera locations are included at no extra cost for the lifetime of the device. The Go Camper also has full access to TomTom MyDrive, which allows you to download roadtrips, camping sites and stopover locations.

  Top 10: Lego sets for adults 2023 (Article)
  The twin trains are operated by a chain lift or you can attach optional Lego Power or Boost to motorise the climb up to the first drop. It also includes a ticket booth, concession stand, a camera to snap the happy or otherwise riders and even a height marker to make sure no undersized riders can sneak in. Technic Bugatti Chiron Most definitely one for the grown ups, the Bugatti Chiron is the most technically advanced Lego vehicle to date.

  Review: Hooke Verse audio recording headphones (productReview)
  Plus, unlike the iPhone-only Sennheiser Ambeo headset (for the time being anyway), the Verse works with Android too. The free app is excellent, essentially taking control of your phone’s camera but overlaying it with specific controls for volume and such, plus a recording button that tells you whether you’re in binaural (3D) or 2D sound modes. Each video you record is automatically exported to your phone’s photo/video stream – they’re not held in the app for you to transfer manually, which is handy.

  Top 10: Essential products for new drivers or learners (Article)
    Nextbase 312GW- £99 New drivers get a tough time from insurers, but there are things that you can do to make life easier. One is to install a dash camera, which can potentially lower your premiums and will prove who was at fault in an accident, which makes the claim process quicker and less stressful. The 312GW is the latest model from Nextbase, the best-selling manufacturer in the UK.

  Review: Anker Nebula Capsule II (productReview)
  Like most of Anker's products, the quality is fantastic and this comes across very quickly within the first few minutes of using the device. On the front of the projector, you'll find the 720p lens and a small camera that focuses the projection output - meaning it automatically adjusts the autofocus. We needed to manually adjust the focus every now and then (by holding the HDMI button down for a few seconds) but, generally, it does a very good job of doing this itself.

  Top 10: Gifts between £50 and £150 (Article)
  >> See all our headphone and speaker reviews EZVIZ S2 The EZVIZ S2 bills itself as an action camera and a dashcam, although in truth it is best to just consider it as a capable and inexpensive version of the former. The specification is good, with an 8MP wide-angle lens, up to 1080p recording and a choice of frame rates while the box includes a battery, USB cable, lens cover and a waterproof case that allows you to use the S2 as deep as 40m underwater.

  Like the Congestion Charge, the ULEZ is monitored with ANPR (automatic numberplate recognition) cameras. Each time you enter and leave the zone, it is logged. ULEZ discounts There are some exemptions from paying the Ultra Low Emissions Zone charge. Vehicles that fall under the disabled tax class have until October 2025 to update their vehicles to be Euro 6 compliant and charities have been given until October 2023.  How do the ULEZ rules affect Taxis?
• BROKERS: Which brokers should I consider if buying a new or used car? (FAQs)
  If he does this after you pay for it, then he has defrauded the finance company and you keep the car.) On top of that, if the car commits any camera offences, the NIP goes to the registered keeper first, so may be delayed getting to you creating a penalty, as would be the case with a London Congestion Tax penalty. What's worse is that comprehensive insurance policies that provide new for old if a car is written off in its first year do not apply to pre-reg.

  >> Read our full review of the Kingston HyperX Cloud II >> Read our full review of the Sennheiser GSP 600 Ring Video Doorbell 2 The Ring Video Doorbell 2 can be hardwired where your current doorbell (assuming you have one) currently sits or with a supplied rechargeable battery pack.  The camera automatically records visitors as they approach your house and you can speak with anyone who comes to your front door via a call function. This is very useful for dealing with couriers, i.e. if you want them to leave a parcel somewhere secure rather than taking it back to the depot.
