IFA is full of weird and wonderful tech, and every year the trick is separating the genuinely interesting stuff from the wall of white goods and AI-stuffed copycats. We spent the week walking the halls in Berlin at IFA 2026, and these are the five products that made us stop and look a little closer.

The Blurams F20C HelioCam Pro is built around removing the two most annoying parts of owning an outdoor security camera: cabling and monthly fees.

Let’s start with the power. There’s a 12,000mAh battery inside, paired with a detachable 5W solar panel, so once it’s mounted somewhere that gets sun, you shouldn’t need to take it down to charge. It’s also IP66-rated, so it’s designed to withstand outdoor use year-round.

Setup runs through the Blurams app, and the camera uses dual-band Wi-Fi 6 on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The camera itself shoots 4K Ultra HD, with full-color night vision, two-way audio, and 355 degrees of pan, covering a wide area from a single mounting point.

Blurams calls its continuous recording mode AOV (always-on video), which is designed to keep 24/7 monitoring running while drawing less power than conventional continuous recording. AI detection for people, vehicles, and pets runs on the camera itself rather than in the cloud, and you can draw specific activity zones to reduce unnecessary alerts. Footage lives locally on a microSD card up to 256GB.

The best part is the free lifetime cloud plan for event playback. Buying a camera and then discovering the useful features sit behind a monthly subscription is pretty standard for a security cam, and not doing that is worth real money over a few years. The F20C carries a $149.99 list price, but has been selling for $109.99.

Robot mowers are already clever, but Mammotion’s pitch with the LUBA 4 AWD series is that the next step isn’t just smarter cutting; it’s understanding how to move around a lawn and leave it looking like a human did.
