I’ve tested more than a few security cameras over the years, some basic, some advanced, some that promised full protection and left me disappointed. But the Baseus Security X1 Pro feels like a different beast altogether. Not just because it looks like a sci-fi drone watching over your house, but because it attempts to rethink what outdoor security should be. Instead of trying to push higher resolution or smarter alerts, it solves a more practical and persistent problem: one camera just isn’t enough. I’ve had this camera mounted around my property for about a month, testing it in real-world conditions,…
