Our opinion

A clean, polished solution, but storage remains cloud-first and the cable must reach a safe power location.

What stands out

  • 2K HDR
  • Google Home/Gemini features
  • Power supports continuous history tier

Watch-outs

  • No user-managed local storage
  • Premium history requires subscription
  • Cable routing matters
