This TV has been pretty solid. You know it is good, it's an LG for crying out loud.... I have never had a bad LG product, other than their phones.... so stick to their appliances and TV's. It is what they do best!

Great lock, and works with Samsung Smart things
on February 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This has been a great lock so far, works very well with Samsung Smart things. Is very responsive, easy to install, and looks great. Only complaint is that they don't seem to be selling this model anymore. Couldn't find the brushed nickle finish, which I think looks the best.

Excellent portable charger.
on January 30, 2017
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great charger. If you can find one, they are great. Sleek shell, not smooth, so it isn't sliding around when you have it set down. It doesn't heat up when you charge to or from it. Haven't really had a chance to test it out camping/backpacking, which is the purpose of buying it. So far, so good.

Super basic, but great stereo
on May 16, 2016
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great stereo for those who want to the fancy touch screen but are also on a budget. I also got the more expensive one for another vehicle and is almost identical except there are not as many customization features. Only complaint would be no way to changing the back ground.

Great Deck, awesome display and functions
on February 22, 2016
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
So I have had this Deck for a couple months now. Long enough to know all the features and what not. One thing I am not the biggest fan of, is the volume buttons instead of a turn-knob. I knew this from the get-go. So I had expected this, so it's not a complaint, just an observance. The fact you can change the back grounds to any picture you want, awesome feature. I also love the back up camera, although I wish they would make one that came with a camera instead of relying on aftermarket ones that end up being garbage.... Everything about it I love. This is a great deck. No complaints, although I wish they had put the GPS unit in there and the turn knob... it would be over 5 stars. Great job Pioneer.

Spot unusual activity in your home or business with this eight-channel Night Owl video security system. It comes with four 1080p cameras with motion-activated recording and 100-foot night vision to provide clear footage in Full HD. This Night Owl video security system has 1TB of hard drive storage and is expandable up to 4TB.
 

What equipment and services do i need to already have for these cameras to work?

You really just need an internet connection for it via Ethernet. A general knowledge of how to plug things in and the ability to download a free app! It is really simple and easy to use. I have set up about 20 of these systems and they are really easy. You just have to plug in the DVR to power, connect it to your router via ethernet cable (does not have WiFi) and then plug all the cameras into the DVR. The camera wires also need power, so it will use 2 power plugs. One for the cameras and one for the DVR. Gets tricky when you are trying to get clever on trying to hid everything. I believe in you though! Best thing about this system is there is no monthly subscription or anything like that. Once you buy the system you can access them anywhere anytime for free. Great cameras. High quality, great picture, and easy set up.

Can I connect a microphone to the DVR

There are 4 audio inputs on the DVR itself along with one audio output.

Is the system battery operated

No it is not. It needs to be plugged into an outlet. There are 2 plugs for it, one for the 4 cameras (will need to add another if adding more than the 4 cameras) and one for the DVR itself. You can add a back up battery for it in case the power goes out, but that will last you maybe a half hour without power going to it. The camera wire and power for the camera run in the same cable.

only need three cameras. need 100 foot cable for one of them, so can I connect two of the 60 foot cables together?

Yes, you need an adapter for it. BNC to BNC adapter. It can only go so far, so don't try connecting more than 2. You can also buy a BNC cable that will be that long too. if you are going to the hassle of setting up cameras, you might as well utilize the 4 it comes with and get a longer cable to run for the one. You are going to have to buy that adapter anyways. Plus I am sure you can think of another place for that camera.

Does the system has any type of alarm?

closest to an alarm you would get on this is if you set up the notifications. It is called an alarm, but it basically a feature on the app that will notify you if a camera detects motion and starts recording. This is a nice feature to turn on if you are expecting a package or something, but I normally don't use it. It is not connected to a security panel or anything, so no alarm noises or anything. I would recommend getting a smart home system for that, or have a company that monitors and will notify the police / fire station.

These speakers feature 6-1/2" poly-mica woofer cones and 1" silk swivel soft-dome tweeters that deliver powerful, smooth sound. The high-strength motor structure and high-excursion design provide accurate bass performance
 

How much does car speaker installation typically cost?

Looking to purchase 2 sets of car speakers (front and rear) for my '04 Chevy Monte Carlo SS...my stock speakers went out about a month so I've been relying on an external source for my sound....i need to know how much installation cost and will i need to purchase additional equipment for the speakers?
tooooo much, do it yourself and save some dough. It is easy. Hardest part is taking the doors off, which is usually only a couple of bolts and some clips. Youtube it.

Is an amplifier required for these speakers? I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota with the Infinity speaker system

Not required, but it wouldn't hurt them either. Coax speakers never need anything more than the head unit to power them. Of course, anything sounds better when you pump more juice to them via amp.

Ensure your home's safety with this Night Owl video security system. Install its four HD cameras with their vandal-proof mounting brackets, leaving no exposed wires for intruders to tamper with. The eight-channel analog DVR of this Night Owl video security system has VGA and HDMI outputs to conveniently connect with up to two monitors.
 

How much Mb does the internet velocity has to be for it to function properly? (For cable wired cameras) can a 8mb internet velocity be okay so that I may see it from any mobile device? Will it affect the quality of the image?

It should work, but it will be incredibly slow. The faster the connection on both ends ( DVR & remote viewing device) the better it will be. There are 2 settings for the quality, low quality but smoother video, and higher quality but choppier viewing. This is only for the remote viewing. When downloading video it should all be the same quality. Also, downloading video from remote device will be slow if not possible on that slow of a connection. I would just not count on being able to remotely view them if you're on a connection that slow. Great cameras though.

what is the difference between a 4-channel system and a 8 Channel system

One is only 4 cameras, and the 8 you can put up to 8 cameras. Always get more channels than you think you need. Room to upgrade. I started with 4, and added 2 more. I could add 2 more even, but I don't really have anywhere that isn't covered on the outside of my house.

Does this have the option to download an app to be able to view your footage from it?

yes sir. The app is actually pretty legit. Can't make changes to the DVR with it, like the time etc. You can easily view your cameras as long as you can coverage, and there is no monthly fee like some apps require. I would highly recommend these. Easy to use, and great app.
