The said camera focuses down my drive onto the back door, has a fixed view (ie non pannable)and has to be taken inside every three months ago to recharge, as it's not compatible with any solar device. But time and cameras move on and, while my nigh-on decade-old device still works perfectly, its battery is probably nearing the end of life and it can now enjoy a quieter, sedate life used inside the home and hard wired, no longer battered by the harsh Yorkshire elements. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad That's because its big brother replacement and one of EZVIZ's latest behemoths in the surveillance world, the CB90, now takes pride of place on my house's side wall, solving all of my problems in one fell swoop with its two 'eyes' on the prize. The CB90 and solar panel This is a premium dual-lens battery-powered security camera designed for comprehensive home surveillance and all round protection. Featuring panoramic and whole-picture vision, it provides both wide-angle coverage and zoomed-in details. With dual rotations and co-detection smart tracking, it enhances monitoring flexibility. So now my drive is covered back door-wise by one of the camera's lenses, while the one below is trained up my drive, taking in my parked car and the street. And no more leaning out of my upstairs side window every quarter to grab the device for indoor charging, given that the included 8W solar panel is now doing the job for me. The CB90's 10,400mAh rechargeable battery, powered by the solar panel, and weatherproof design seem to promise long-lasting, eco-friendly performance. Additional features include Wi-Fi 6 support and storage options with EZVIZ CloudPlay or, if you're like me, via a microSD (up to up 512GB). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Designed for use in outdoor areas, it is more than comparable with its hard-wired sisters without the need for any complex installation, saving both power and power-drilling time (though some Black and Decker work (other manufactuers are available) is obviously required to affix both camera and solar panel). Person and vehicle detection Connecting up is easy. For new EZVIZ users, it's simply a case of downloading the EZVIZ app from the Play/Apple store and on the home page click on the big '+' sign to add a new device. A few moments later hey presto, your camera is up and running. It's always best to get this done first, and then test site your camera in a place where it can connect to your wifi, though in my experience the outdoor battery cameras have always worked wherever sited on my semi-detached's three walls. Keep your camera handy as,like with many eco-conscious manufacturers these days, there is no paper manual included in the kit. Instead, there's a QR code to scan and download it yourself. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The camera boasts innovative design and features, including the EZVIZ AOV [Always-On -Video] technology, which gives 24/7 coverage without rapidly draining the battery and the need for constant recharging. EZVIZ CB90 Many battery cameras on the market only record very limited footage triggered by detections, as the cameras tend to operate in sleep mode to conserve energy. Many brands eliminate the option for continuous recording as it can quickly drain the battery. The CB90 however can combat any security void by embedding the EZVIZ AOV Technology in its chips. In AOV mode, the cameras wake themselves at user-defined intervals, creating time-lapse videos for motion-free periods. Users can fast-forward to relive the changes in the monitored environment, without going through large video files that take up huge storage space. It will also significantly reduce the battery consumption compared to the traditional 24/7 recording mode. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Additionally, EZVIZ cameras maintain their AI-powered person detection functionality in AOV mode, recording standard-speed video whenever a person enters the detection area. Furthermore, the AOV technology greatly extends the detection range, going beyond the limits of PIR sensors, which is commonly used in most industry-standard battery cameras. The dual lens camera means you can have two lenses trained in opposite directions For people who appear during an AOV time-lapse recording period, the cameras can pick up any activity up to 25m away, sending alerts and switching to standard-speed recording to ensure no moment is missed. The camera is equipped with a rechargeable battery with a capacity of up to 10,400 mAh enabling it to maintain a stable working condition, in any mode, for an extended period. Even in winter, the large battery ensures the camera operates up to 120 days uninterrupted. The solar panel is able to utilise two hours of instant and continuous charging by sunlight to keep a camera running non-stop for approximately 24 hours.

Sweden has announced a transfer of air defense systems worth 1.2 billion Swedish krona (approximately $113 million) to Ukraine, Svenska Dagbladet reported on Feb. 23. This announcement was made by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch, and Minister of Education Johan Pehrson. Under this package, Stockholm will transfer Robot 70 and Tridon Mk2 systems to Ukraine. Previously, on Jan. 30, Sweden announced its largest tranche of military assistance since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. The aid package committed to providing over $1.2 billion to Ukraine, and included 16 CB90 combat boats with weapons stations, a million rounds of 12.7 mm ammunition, 146 trucks, 1,500 TOW anti-tank missiles, as well as 200 AT4 anti-tank launchers.

Finland announces $206 million military package for Ukraine
The Finnish government has approved its 27th military aid package for Ukraine worth 198 million euros ($206 million), the Finnish Defense Ministry said on Jan. 31. This brings Finland's total defense aid provided to Ukraine since the outbreak of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 to 2.5 billion euros ($2.6 billion). As with the previous Finnish aid packages, the content of the latest tranche is classified. "This package of almost 200 million euros has been built in close cooperation with Ukraine. We are providing exactly the kind of support that will help Ukraine defend itself in an acute situation on the front," Finnish Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen said in a press release. "It is up to us Europeans how Europe's security continues to develop. Securing Ukraine's independence and ability to defend itself is the most important thing right now," Hakkanen said. Finland's neighbor, Sweden, recently announced its largest military aid package for Ukraine worth over $1.2 billion, including 16 CB90 combat boats with weapons stations, a million rounds of 12.7 mm ammunition, 146 trucks, 1,500 TOW anti-tank missiles, as well as 200 AT4 anti-tank launchers. The assistance comes amid expectations that Kyiv's European partners will have to take up greater responsibility for helping Ukraine as the U.S. shifts toward "America First" policy under President Donald Trump.

Ukraine war latest: 9 killed, 13 injured in Russian drone attack on Sumy
Key developments on Jan. 30: Rescue operations end in Sumy with 9 killed, 13 injured after Russian drone attack on residential building Sweden unveils its largest military aid package for Ukraine worth $1.2 billion Lithuania open to sending peacekeepers to Ukraine, chief commander says Russia's Soviet-era military stockpile running low, faces equipment shortages, media reports A Russian drone struck a residential building in the northeastern city of Sumy overnight on Jan. 30, killing nine people and injuring 13 others, the Interior Ministry reported. Search and rescue operations at the site of the Russian attack concluded later in the evening. Russia launched a total of 81 attack and decoy drones against Ukraine on the night of Jan. 30, the Air Force reported. Ukraine's air defense shot down 37 of them, while 39 more disappeared from radars before reaching targets. A Shahed-type attack drone hit the multistory building in Sumy shortly after midnight local time, Governor Volodymyr Artiukh said. Two couples were killed in the attack: A 74-year-old man and his 69-year-old wife and a 65-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman, local authorities reported. Some of the injured victims have been hospitalized and are reported to be in serious condition. Among the injured are an eight-year-old child and an 18-year-old man. Videos posted of the attack show significant damage to the building, seemingly between the sixth and seventh floors of the building. Authorities later said that 12 balconies were destroyed in the attack. Read also: 13 injured, including children, in Russian attack on Kramatorsk Sweden will provide Ukraine with a military aid package worth over $1.2 billion, Swedish Defense Minister Pal Jonson announced on Jan. 30. It is Sweden's largest tranche of military assistance since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, according to Johnson. The package includes 16 CB90 combat boats with weapons stations, a million rounds of 12.7 mm ammunition, 146 trucks, 1,500 TOW anti-tank missiles, as well as 200 AT4 anti-tank launchers. About $90 million will be allocated for the production of long-range missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, Johnson said. Donations from the Swedish Armed Forces' stockpiles will account for roughly 25% of the package, while around 45% will be used for investment in defense production. "This can be directed towards prioritized needs, such as artillery, long-range strike abilities and drones. A short delivery time is important," the minister said. Under the new package, $178 million will be allocated for the so-called Danish model of funding for Ukraine's defense production. Other funds will also be allocated for the training of Ukrainian soldiers in 2025, as well as the repair and maintenance of the equipment already donated by Sweden. Read also: Has Chasiv Yar fallen? No, say experts, OSINT analysts, military officials Lithuania will likely consider deploying military personnel to Ukraine for a potential peacekeeping mission, Lithuanian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Raimundas Vaiksnoras said on Jan. 30, according to the LRT broadcaster. "If you ask whether Lithuania could (send peacekeepers to Ukraine), yes, we will probably consider it. There will be a discussion, and I think we should also take responsibility for European stability," Vaiksnoras told the Ziniu radio. His remarks come amid ongoing discussions among Western countries about the possible deployment of peacekeeping forces to Ukraine if a ceasefire is agreed upon with Russia. Earlier reports from The Wall Street Journal indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump's team is weighing a plan to delay Ukraine's NATO membership by at least 20 years in exchange for continued Western arms supplies and the deployment of European peacekeepers to monitor a ceasefire. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Jan. 18 that Germany may consider contributing forces to such a mission, while U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed on Jan. 16 that he had discussed the matter with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Moscow has strongly opposed the idea.

The Russian military has lost more than half of its available equipment, and unless an unexpected shift occurs, hostilities could gradually fade by late 2025 or early 2026 due to a shortage of tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, the publication claims. The Insider reported that both Russian and Ukrainian forces are primarily losing Soviet-era equipment, with Russian losses now accounting for about 50% of its total stock. Much of the remaining equipment in storage is in poor technical condition, making it unlikely to be repaired and deployed to the front lines. The number of combat-ready vehicles Russia could still send to the front is estimated at around 2,000 tanks, 2,000 infantry fighting vehicles (BMPs), and 3,000 armored personnel carriers (APCs). Moscow is also reportedly facing production limitations. The only infantry fighting vehicle in large-scale production remains the BMP-3, with 463 units produced in 2023. Modern BTR-82 armored personnel carrier production is estimated at 300–400 units annually.
