21-12-2015, 08:28
I saw the news about this soldering iron a few months ago. I don't think I need to say how much I wanted to try it. And since a soldering iron is one of my main tools at work, I was twice as eager to give it a try. Impressions, analysis, conclusions—all as usual, after the jump.

Power supplies aren't always high-power units; some are very small, but no less useful for it. Today I have four representatives of this class of power supply on my “operating table,” but they'll go through the same tests as always.

Not long ago, on November 5 to be exact, I ordered a number of Samsung INR18650-25R batteries. I was so “lucky” with the timing that the next morning they announced a sale on them.

My regular readers know that I work with video surveillance systems. So I couldn't pass up the new 4 MP camera, and when I ordered another batch of the familiar DS-2CD2032 cameras, I picked one up to test as well. But since the DS-2CD2032 is now available in an updated version called the DS-2CD2032F-I, I decided to combine the two and write one review covering both. So, read on if you're interested in components for proper video surveillance systems.
