The EZVIZ HB90 Dual 3K is a battery-powered outdoor security camera with two 3K lenses. Its wide camera provides an overview, while a second motorised camera can track activity and provide a closer view. The system also includes a solar panel, local microSD storage, human and vehicle detection, night vision and an Always On Video mode designed to provide a more complete timeline than a conventional battery camera.

Solid-state batteries replace some or all of the liquid electrolyte in a conventional lithium-ion battery with a solid material. The technology could deliver higher energy density, faster charging and reduced reliance on flammable liquid, but manufacturing, durability and cost remain major barriers. In 2026, true all-solid-state batteries are still in development for vehicles and are not an obvious reason to delay buying a home battery.

A letterbox advertisement promotes a fully installed home battery for $2,980 after a federal incentive and an advertised company contribution. The offer is based on a small 5.04 kWh Alpha ESS Smile B3 Plus system, with roughly 4.8 kWh of usable storage and around 3 kW of maximum AC output. Blackout protection and some additional electrical work are not included in the advertised price.

The iFLYTEK AINOTE 2 is a 10.65-inch E Ink tablet designed around handwriting, meeting transcription and organised digital notes. Its paper-like writing experience, long battery life and AI tools make it a focused alternative to an iPad for people who work heavily with handwritten notes. However, it has no colour display, front light or speakers, and its integration with Apple devices is limited.

Almost every compatible mobile phone in Australia is expected to sound a loud emergency alert during the national AusAlert test on Monday 27 July 2026. The test will use cell broadcast rather than individual SMS messages, and the alert can override silent and Do Not Disturb settings. AusAlert does not require an app, account, GPS location or personal phone details to deliver the broadcast.
