The Baseus Security S2 Outdoor Camera 4K comes with several innovative features to keep you in control of your safety. To get a better understanding of how this security camera elevates your lifestyle, let’s look at some of its main highlights.

PIR and Radar Smart Detection: Many security cameras use Passive Infra-Red (PIR) detection to monitor movement or intruders by recognizing light emitted from nearby objects. However, the Baseus Security S2 Outdoor Camera 4K elevates this by adding Radar Dual-Sensor precision technology to cut down the risk of false alarms by 99%.

See Clearly, Even in the Dark: Ensure the security of your loved ones in low-light conditions and in the dead of the night with 4K Ultra HD night vision, a 100LM spotlight, and a 145° Field of View.

Safer Data and No Hidden Fees: The Baseus Security S2 Outdoor Camera 4K can support up to 512GB of local storage from a microSD card. While the memory card does not come with the camera for flexible upgrades, you can install one to store your data securely on the local storage without any monthly subscription fees.

While the S2 outdoor camera holds quite a presence, Baseus also understands that your security system should suit your needs and adapt to your lifestyle. This is why they’ve also launched the Baseus Security S1 Lite Outdoor Camera 2K in white – built to keep up with your home’s parameters and budget. Now, let’s look at some of the main highlights of the S1 Lite.

24/7 Solar-Powered Security: To ensure consistent power, the Baseus Security S1 Lite Outdoor Camera 2K comes fitted with a built-in solar panel to provide non-stop surveillance for your property. Backed by a 5,200mAh battery with a 150-day lifespan, the S1 Lite is an energy-saving and efficient security solution that gets you to a full charge with just 2.25 hours of sunlight per day.

Easy Installation: The Baseus Security S1 Lite Outdoor Camera 2K has a wireless design that allows you to seamlessly set it up anywhere in just 5 minutes. It also reduces wire clutter and keeps your home looking neat.

Tag along with Jay at CISCE: The future of digital tech is here!

BEIJING, July 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from China.org.cn:

British visitor Jay Ian Birbeck explored the digital technology section of the third China International Supply Chain Expo, an event showcasing the full breadth of the global supply chain in Beijing from July 16 to 20.

At NVIDIA’s debut booth, Jay witnessed the U.S. chip giant’s latest innovations, including laptops powered by the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU and DLSS 4 neural rendering technology. NVIDIA’s presence underscored the company’s commitment to advancing AI computing, with local Chinese brands demonstrating how these technologies enhance gaming, creativity, and productivity.

Moving to Lenovo’s exhibit, Jay learned about its pioneering Hybrid AI concept, integrating personal, enterprise, and public intelligence. With a global network of over 2,000 suppliers and more than 30 manufacturing bases, Lenovo showcased its leadership in driving green, smart, and digital transformations across its ecosystem. Jay was particularly amazed by futuristic prototypes such as transparent screens and rollable displays.

At TCL CSOT’s display, Jay was introduced to the industry’s first borderless quantum-dot Mini LED TV, which offered highly immersive visuals. TCL also displayed inkjet-printed foldable screens, further underscoring China’s global leadership in advanced display technologies. The company currently accounts for 30% of the global high-end television market.

Rounding out his visit, Jay stopped by Newegg, which demonstrated its role as a “global connector” for Chinese brands. The company showcased AI-powered logistics and marketing tools via its SellingPilot platform. Jay humorously noted that the once-stressful journey of going global has now become a streamlined and rewarding process.

“Made in China is seriously stepping up its game,” Jay said. But what impressed him most wasn’t the products—it was the way companies connected. “Supply chain? More like supply WIN,” he concluded.

Mobile Phones Fuel Surge in Savings: What the Global Trend Means for Laos

Joint Development Bank (JDB) has announced plans to offer a mobile banking app to its customers. The banking app will provide customers with a high-tech money transfer system and e-commerce or online banking system, to ensure customers can access convenient, safe and less time-consuming banking services in 2017.

More adults than ever in low- and middle-income countries now have bank or other financial accounts, leading to a rise in formal saving, according to the World Bank Group’s Global Findex 2025 report. 

This momentum in financial inclusion is creating new economic opportunities.  Mobile-phone technology played a key role in the surge, with 10 percent of adults in developing economies using a mobile-money account to save, a 5-percentage point increase from 2021. 

The global shift toward digital finance is now raising questions and hopes about its potential to reshape financial inclusion in Laos.

The report, released last week, shows that 40 percent of adults in low- and middle-income countries saved money in a financial account in 2024, marking the fastest increase in formal saving in over a decade. This represents a 16 percentage point rise since 2021.

A key contributor to this trend is the use of mobile-money accounts. 

Ten percent of adults in these economies are now saving through mobile platforms, a significant jump of five percentage points in just three years.

A Global Shift, a Local Opportunity

The East Asia and Pacific region now leads the world in both smartphone adoption and financial account ownership, with eighty-six percent of adults owning a smartphone and eighty-three percent holding some form of financial account.

Laos is already advancing its digital financial infrastructure. In recent years, the country has taken measured steps to digitize its financial infrastructure. 

The Bank of the Lao PDR has introduced mobile-money systems and digital financial services to underserved areas. 

The government’s ongoing National Financial Inclusion Strategy aims to improve account access, particularly for women and rural populations.

These national goals are supported by concrete action. 

In 2023, the Bank of the Lao PDR launched a pilot of the country’s first digital currency, and enabled QR code payments across borders, starting with Cambodia and later expanding to Vietnam. These systems aim to reach rural users who may lack access to traditional bank branches or smartphones.

The Digital Kip trial and QR code payments were designed to reach the 70 percent of Lao adults who were unbanked in 2023. 

In January 2025, Laos and Vietnam officially launched a cross-border QR payment network, helping to deepen financial access for small merchants and travelers, while promoting cashless transactions.

Digital Finance and Gender Inclusion

The new report also highlights significant progress in closing the gender gap. 

In low- and middle-income countries, women’s account ownership has nearly doubled, from 37 percent in 2011 to 73 percent in 2024. 

“Financial inclusion has the potential to improve lives and transform entire economies,” said World Bank Group President Ajay Banga. 

“Digital finance can convert this potential into reality, but several ingredients need to be in place. At the World Bank Group, we’re working on all of them. We’re helping countries get their people access to new or improved digital IDs. We’re constructing social protection programs with digital cash-transfer systems that deliver resources directly to those in need. We’re modernizing payment systems and helping to remove regulatory roadblocks, so that people and businesses have the financing they need to innovate and create jobs.”

Yet risks remain. 

The Findex Digital Connectivity Tracker 2025 found that while 86 percent of adults in developing economies own a mobile phone, only about half use a password or other protection, raising concerns about the safety of digital savings.

Vietnamese Company to Grow Coffee, Durian, Blueberries in Pakxong

On 16 July, Champasak Province signed a land concession agreement with Lao-Viet Agriculture Company Limited, allowing the company to farm coffee, durian, and blueberries on 50.4 hectares of land in Nonglear village, Pakxong district.

With a total investment of USD 3 million, this project is fully funded by Vietnamese investors.

The agreement marked the culmination of a process that began with a Memorandum of Understanding and an initial land survey, signed on 7 May.

After the investors’ team conducted a land survey, they chose to invest in Pakxong due to its favorable climate and rich volcanic soil, which are suitable for growing high-value crops such as durian and blueberries.

Lao-Viet Agriculture aims to apply modern and environmentally friendly farming methods to supply both local and regional markets to grow its crops.

The company also plans to work closely with local people, offering jobs and training to help them learn new farming skills. Officials hope the project will support local development while protecting the environment.

Laos is turning to high-value crops such as durian and blueberries to raise farmer incomes and tap into growing export markets.

Blueberries, once unheard of in Lao fields, are now gaining ground thanks to an ambitious project launched by Australia’s Costa Group in 2025. 

The company established blueberry farms in Pakxong, using modern techniques like protective tunnels and drip irrigation systems to boost yields and plant health.

Meanwhile, durian farming is also on the rise, driven by soaring demand in China. 

The fruit, often referred to as the “king of fruits,” has become a hot commodity. The recent opening of the Laos-China Railway has significantly improved export logistics, allowing Lao farmers to deliver fresh durian to foreign markets more quickly and efficiently.

Dozens Dead in Vietnam After Ha Long Bay Tourist Ferry Sinks

(Photo by Nhac NGUYEN / AFP)
The tourist boat ferrying families around Vietnam’s famed Ha Long Bay was lashed by a storm on Saturday in one of the UNESCO World Heritage site’s deadliest disasters.

The “Wonder Sea” vessel was carrying 48 passengers and five crew members when it capsized because of sudden heavy rain, the VNExpress news site said.

Most of those on board were families visiting from the capital Hanoi, with more than 20 children among the passengers, it said.

Border guards had rescued 11 people and recovered 34 bodies by Saturday evening, it added.

Overnight three crew members’ bodies were found in the cabin and rescue efforts continued into Sunday morning to find the five people still missing.

One of the rescued, a 10-year-old boy, told state media outlet VietnamNet: “I took a deep breath, swam through a gap, dived then swam up, I even shouted for help, then I was pulled up by a boat with soldiers on”.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh sent his condolences on Saturday to the families of the deceased and called on the defense and public security ministries to conduct urgent search and rescue.

Authorities would “investigate and clarify the cause of the incident and strictly handle violations”, a government statement said.

Tran Trong Hung, a resident in the Ha Long Bay area, told AFP: “The sky turned dark at around 2:00 pm.”

There were “hailstones as big as toes with torrential rain, thunderstorm and lightning”, he said.

Torrential rain also lashed northern Hanoi, Thai Nguyen and Bac Ninh provinces on Saturday.

Several trees were knocked down in the capital by strong winds.

The storm followed three days of intense heat, with the mercury hitting 37 degrees Celsius in some areas.

Mai Van Khiem, director of the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting, was quoted in VNExpress as saying that the thunderstorms in northern Vietnam were not caused by the influence of Tropical Storm Wipha in the South China Sea.

Wipha entered the South China Sea on Sunday gaining strength, and is on course to make landfall in Vietnam early next week.

Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam’s most popular tourist destinations, with millions of people visiting its blue-green waters and rainforest-topped limestone islands each year.

Last year, 30 vessels sank at boat lock areas in coastal Quang Ninh province along Ha Long Bay after Typhoon Yagi brought strong wind and waves.

And this month, a ferry sank off the popular Indonesian resort island of Bali, killing at least 18 people.

British visitor Jay Ian Birbeck explored the smart vehicle section of the third China International Supply Chain Expo, an event showcasing the full breadth of the global supply chain in Beijing from July 16 to 20.

At the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) booth, Jay seated himself in a sophisticated F4 single‑seater alongside a purpose‑built rally car. The booth marks the FIA’s first appearance at the supply chain expo, intended “to connect with people, to connect with companies,” according to Habib Turki, chief development officer at FIA.

A highlight of the visit was the AITO 9, a luxury SUV that has outsold competitors such as the Mercedes‑Benz GLC and BMW X5 in China this year. Sliding into the driver’s seat, Jay noted its “remarkable” comfort. Moving to the rear cabin, he demonstrated a reclining seat that “becomes an actual bed,” complete with an automatic projection screen. Kang Bo, vice president of the SERES Group, attributed the AITO 9’s success in the interview to its advanced driver assistance system and safety features. He also thanked the outstanding suppliers like CATL.

Jay explored the expo’s extensive battery supply chain. At CATL’s booth, he visited a display by a CATL supplier featuring the Shenxing superfast charging battery, a pure‑electric module boasting an 800‑kilometer range on a single charge and a five‑minute top‑up capability for 520 kilometers of driving. He then examined a sodium‑ion cell derived from table salt, which promises reliable performance down to minus 40 degrees Celsius and requires “just 100 grams of salt” per standard cell.

In the upstream supply chain zone, where partners of battery maker CATL were prominently featured, Jay toured booths operated by Juneng Power, which supplies battery casings and covers; Anhui Shengjie, a specialty chemical developer; and Yunshang New Energy, a provider of testing systems. He also spotted an electric fishing yacht by CETL and an electric‑powered aircraft on the exhibition floor, underscoring the sector’s land, sea and air electrification vision.

Jay wrapped up his tour at the XPENG Motors stand, where its Vice President Vivian Chen discussed their vision of “Tech for Good.” She highlighted detachable flying cars and AI‑powered robots designed for “more humanistic care.”

“Chinese automakers are taking the world by storm,” Jay concluded, reflecting on how the expo blends cutting‑edge technology, competitive pricing, and disruptive mobility solutions to redefine the future of transportation.
