About

We focus on Home Automation, Security Cameras, and Smart Home products that are easy to put together, cheaper and offer many additional features than more expensive ones. Our goal is to have local control of our devices we pay for! I teach some down to earth basics to solve real world problems you might encounter on your journey into the smart home field. Check out our videos and let us know what else you'd like to see us review or expand with additional features. If you have a product you'd like reviewed, either local control via an API, RTSP, etc is required or allow the device to be flashed via open source firmware. Contact us for more info. Please note, the product links could be affiliate links, using them could earn digiblurDIY a small commission of most purchases and helps with future video projects. Thank you! As an Amazon Influencer I earn from qualifying purchases.
