When I was initially plotting out the review of the Eufy SoloCam E40, or SoloCam Pro, I was thinking about cheap security cameras, and the concessions we have to make to save money for convenience and peace of mind. I thought about what a bargain the SoloCam E40 might seem like to someone looking to expand their home security outdoors, compared to the more expensive Nest and Ring options. Eufy, a sister brand to the smartphone accessory-maker Anker, launched the $130 SoloCam as part of a family of new security cameras. The lineup also includes the budget SoloCam Essential for $100, plus a solar-powered camera, a spotlight camera, and a floodlight camera coming later this summer.

I’d convinced myself long ago that when I became a parent, I’d do everything in my power to avoid overly surveilling my child. But then I decided to go back to work full-time a bit sooner than I’d initially planned, so to help ease my anxieties about sending my toddler out into the world, I did what any loving and doting parent would do: I put a GPS tracker on her.

The Jiobit Next location monitor is a simple clip-on GPS tracker for humans and pets. It’s less conspicuous than a tracking watch like Lil Tracker 2G or a dedicated tracking collar like the Whistle Go Explore, and more foolproof than merely tracking through a maps app. The Jiobit is more affordable than setting up a separate device with your carrier, too, if all you want is location tracking. It’s also accurate enough that I’m finding the peace of mind of knowing exactly where my kid is at all times is worth the $9 monthly subscription.
