Join us as we document the restoration and renovation of our 1900 villa. After years of neglect, we're rebuilding it piece by piece, balancing nostalgia with modern comfort.

Our videos focus on garden design: installing WPC and BPC terraces, integrating a swimming pool, building gabions, and setting up an outdoor kitchen featuring the Napoleon PHANTOM P500. We also showcase our irrigation systems for lawns, flower beds, and hedges.

Beyond the restoration journey, you'll find product reviews, travel experiences, Smart Home solutions, security camera setups, and helpful DIY tutorials.

πŸ”’ Do you really need a complex security system?

I've tested plenty of wired security cameras over the years, but this time I wanted to try something different.

The new eufyCam C37 promises easy installation, AI tracking, local storage, and a solar-powered batteryβ€”all without a monthly subscription.

But is a single battery camera really enough to protect your home?

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

πŸ‘‰ Would you choose a simple battery-powered camera or a full multi-camera security system? And why?

I'm looking forward to reading your comments and hearing about your own setup!

πŸ” Two security cameras. Almost the same price. Completely different philosophy.

The Reolink MagiCam and Blink Outdoor 2K+ may look like direct competitors, but once you dig deeper, they're designed for very different users.

βœ… Local storage vs. cloud storage
βœ… No monthly fees vs. subscription features
βœ… Image quality, night vision, Alexa integration, and more

I tested both cameras side by side to help you decide which one fits your needs.

πŸ€– No RTK. No LiDAR. No boundary wire.

Can a robot mower really navigate using nothing but AI-powered cameras?

That's exactly what I wanted to find out with the new TerraMow V600. After testing plenty of RTK and LiDAR-based mowers over the years, I was honestly skeptical. But the results surprised me.

βœ… Camera-only navigation
βœ… Automatic mapping
βœ… Precise edge cutting
βœ… Excellent corner coverage
βœ… No RTK antenna required

The big question is:

Can AI cameras replace RTK and LiDAR?

Can one security camera replace multiple cameras? πŸ€”

That's exactly what I wanted to find out with the new Reolink OMVI 3i.

It combines a permanent 180Β° panoramic view with a 4K PTZ camera that can automatically track people, vehicles, and animals β€” all in a single device.

I tested it during the day, at night, and with different tracking scenarios to see if it can really eliminate blind spots.

Can a compact budget pool robot really clean floors, walls, and the waterline? πŸ€”

That's exactly what I wanted to find out with the new WYBOT B1.

βœ” Floor, wall & waterline cleaning
βœ” Side brushes for edges and corners
βœ” App control
βœ” Up to 120 minutes of runtime
βœ” Compact and lightweight design

But does it actually perform well in a real pool?

I finally used the last free space in my outdoor kitchen and installed a new stainless steel access door πŸ”₯

The install looked simple at first… but the door frame was actually deeper than my OSB panel, so I had to come up with a solid reinforcement solution to mount it properly.

Now there’s still plenty of room behind the door for a storage or shelving system β€” and that’s where I’d love your feedback πŸ‘‡

πŸ‘‰ Vote in the quiz under the video
πŸ‘‰ And tell me in the comments what kind of shelving you would install

Wood, stainless steel, plastic, or a pre-built system?
I’m curious to hear your ideas and see how you would solve it!
