Great little camera for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very handy pocket sized camera for taking pictures on the go. It is a small, inexpensive, point and shoot. So don't expect DSLR quality pictures or adjustments. I really like the way it automates panoramic shots. But sometimes it was difficult to press just enough to get it to auto focus. I had to snap a second time on several shots to get one in focus. Considering how handy it is and how inexpensive, I would recommend this camera.

Essential Accessory

Verified Purchase:Yes
My first iPad, in a keyboard case, broke in my carry on bag. It wasn't dropped or mashed. But it still somehow broke across the corner of the screen.
I had always had good luck with other otter box products. So my second iPad got encased in this otter box case before it left the store. The case is very rugged and has survived many flights and several drops with no problems. Considering the fact that it cost the same amount to fix the first iPad as an otter box case costs, I think the case is an excellent investment

Plenty of room for backups

I use these for off site backups. This 256 Gb USB 3 flash drive has plenty of space to store my back up files. It's much easier than creating and transporting a box full of backup DVD's to my off site storage location.

Must have protection for your ipad
on December 11, 2015
Posted by: PjPj
from Colorado
Verified Purchase:Yes
Wish I had purchased this before my iPad Air screen got cracked! After getting it repaired I purchased the Otter Box Defender case. It is great. Gives me a better grip on the iPad and fully protects it from bumps and bangs while traveling when the front cover is in place. I also like that the front cover doubles as a stand. I read a few reviews where people felt the case made the buttons and ports hard to access. I haven't had any problems with that. Once the iPad is properly snapped into the case all of the ports and buttons lined up perfectly.

The ClearStream 4V HDTV Antenna uses patented technology to receive TV signals 70 miles away from broadcast towers. Ideal for suburban and rural areas where heavy foliage or roofing materials reduce the incoming signal. The dedicated UHF and VHF multi-directional elements deliver range and reception in less than ideal locations. The ClearStream 4V comes with mounting hardware and a 20in. mount with a pivoting foot to allow installation on vertical or horizontal surfaces.

Easy to install. Receives lots of channels

I installed this antenna in my attic without any help and it works great! The antenna comes with everything you need except a coax cable that is run from the antenna to your TV, plus a few common household tools. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.
We are about 50 miles from a major city and get over 40 channels with this antenna set up in our attic. We have now cancelled our cable TV subscription, saving nearly $100 per month.

What my grandson wanted for his birthday

My grandson (age 14) wanted an XBox Live Gold membership. The code from the card was easy to apply to his online account. But the added functionality from the membership simply doesn't justify the price.

On the PC, does it look like a regular drive? Can you open files directly, example word documents and excel files, and save changes?

Yes if you map it to a drive letter. Mine is my H drive.

Can you setup the system without the hard drive installed? I am purchasing and the unit. The hard drives arrive separately several days later, I assume at least one drive must be installed to set up. Will have 4 users.

I’m not sure but I think you need at least one drive in it to set it up. Most of the setup is formatting and configuring the drives. Setup was pretty quick and easy.

Digitize your vinyl records with this Audio-Technica turntable. A high-torque motor quickly powers the turntable, and USB output provides a direct connection to your computer so you can use the included software to convert your vinyl sounds to digital audio files. Full manual operation provides complete control of this Audio-Technica turntable.
 

When you convert vinyl to mp3 is the exact same sound quality?

I can’t say it’s exactly the same. The quality will depend on the bit rate and how much clipping there is. For regular rock and pop recorded at 256 bps or better, I personally can’t tell a difference. Although some people can. For opera and classical, I can hear a slight difference if I listen closely.

Read and write to two 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drives or solid state drives at once with this Thermaltake BlacX ST0014U-C docking station, which offers a hot-swappable design to ensure rapid file transfers via the USB interface.
 

Does this work on linex

It should if your version of Linux recognizes USB drives. My Windows system just saw it (with a hard drive in the dock) as an external drive.

The expanded storage capability offers dependable performance and ample storage space for files and libraries. This WD Black mobile hard drive features a 2.5-inch form factor for easy integration with your laptop or notebook.
 

Will this drive work in a Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop?

It should if the Dell’s original drive was a 2 1/2 inch SATA drive. It fit in my slim profile ASUS laptop with no trouble.

Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 1TB capacity.
 

Is this the Western Digital black drive? (As opposed to the green, red, blue drive?)

Yes, the performance drive is also called the black drive

Expand your network and add network devices with this Linksys five-port gigabit switch, letting you transfer 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. Five ports offer 5X Ethernet so you can plug and play without missing a beat. Power is reduced to unused ports on this Linksys five-port gigabit switch, saving you money by reducing energy costs.
 

I have a Spectrum/T Warner modem with 4 ethernet ports. I have the need for 5 connections. Would this be a solution? If so, does the switch actually plug into the Modem and could this effect speed and connectivity. I also have an Eero to plug in.

User submitted photo
I’m not familiar with the Spectrum/ Time Warner modems. If your other devices work plugged into the modems Ethernet ports, then the switch should work fine too.

Nighthawk X4S AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Range Extender boosts your WiFi to the extreme with speeds up to 2.2Gbps. From your garage to the backyard, eliminate WiFi dead zones and extend WiFi range to hard-to-reach areas of your home. Add-on to your existing router/gateway/ISP gateway and get the entire benefit of mesh networking; one network name, seamless roaming and a dedicated backhaul.
 

Will this allow me to better handle more device connections? I don't necessarily need a stronger signal.

I don’t think this is the device you need if you aren’t experiencing weak signal strength in certain areas. What this device does is connect wirelessly to your existing wireless access point and boost the signal in the area where it is plugged in. It broadcasts its ID by default as <your exiting wireless access ID> with -EXT appended to the end. I found a nice little overlapping circles diagram on the Netgear support website that illustrates how it helps extend the signal. Hope this helps.

What happens if I live in a old house with no electric to a door bell.What or how does one hook it up then ?

You might want to consider one of the other models. Some are battery operated. This one (Ring Pro) hooks up to an existing doorbell transformer. Otherwise consider getting an electrician to install a doorbell transformer and fish the wires. (Fishing wire in an old house is a pain....)

Is there a monthly fee required for this doorbell

There is a subscription plan available that lets you store the recordings in the cloud (and share them when you choose). But it is not required. It still works via the app, you just can't save the recordings. The annual subscription is currently $30 (per year) for one device.
