> – Why it matters: Wi-Fi jammers can’t blind this battery-powered owl, so footage keeps rolling during outages
The CES 2026 floor just hatched a tiny bodyguard. Jonathan P. Miller spotted Lockly’s pocket-sized OwlGuard, a 2K security camera that keeps watch when everything else goes dark.
Offline Defense
Most cameras die the moment a jammer kills Wi-Fi. OwlGuard stores motion-triggered clips locally, then uploads once the network returns. A built-in 1.54-inch screen shows battery life and status at a glance.
Snap-On Extras
Lockly treats the owl like a hardware playground. Pop-on modules include:
- Solar panel for trickle charging
- Privacy shutter for total blackout
- Sunshade to fight glare
- Silicone sleeve for travel or harsh weather
- Clip-on magnifier that gives the lens a cartoon monocle
