Security keys (2FA/passkeys)
If you can only buy one security upgrade, buy hardware security keys and use them on your email + password manager first.
- Top pick: Yubico YubiKey 5C NFC — modern USB‑C + NFC; great for phones + newer laptops.
- If you need USB‑A: Yubico YubiKey 5 NFC (USB‑A + NFC)
Home security cameras (wired PoE)
For reliability and image quality, wired PoE beats battery Wi‑Fi cameras.
- Top pick (single camera): Reolink RLC-810A (4K PoE)
- Best “whole system” starter kit: Reolink RLK8-800B4 (4 cameras + NVR)
Home network (router)
A stable router + sane defaults reduces weird outages and makes security settings easier.
- Top pick: TP-Link Omada ER605 (Gigabit VPN router) — prosumer reliability without enterprise pain.
If you want me to extend this list next, I’d add: a UPS/battery backup, a privacy screen filter, and a door reinforcement kit.
