The Night Owl security system, they are not new when it comes to securing your home. This system is 2K HD with 8 cameras and a 1TB HDD DVR. All 8 cameras are wired with 2 way mic and they all support black and white night vision. In the box you get all necessary accessories to get you started. The cables are very long, approximately 60 feet. The built quality I was not impressed with. I think they could have done better. The cameras are very light giving the impression of low quality. However they can be used outdoors and they are rated IP65 water resistant. Setting it up seems to be easy if it works correctly. I tried the recommended setup which is connecting it via Bluetooth. That for me didn’t work so I had to do a manual setup, after that I was able to connect it Bluetooth.
Once setup, navigating through the UI of the DRV is simple. At the main home screen you will have a view of all your cameras. To access the UI menu simply click on the right button of the included mouse. Be aware to access this system remotely you need to connect it hardwire via ethernet connection. It does not support wireless connection except the Bluetooth for setup.
The Night Owl app is very simple, not hard to navigate and with this system you have basic options. Connecting the cameras are also super easy with the included power video cables. There’s a 4 way power splitter you have to use to connect 4 cameras to 1 power supply.

When it comes to video quality they are ok. Images are really good in a very well lit environment. In limited brighter areas images are fine but the image colors are more in the cool temperature. The night vision is also average, the images are easily visible of course depending on the distance. The cameras are also equipped with spot light and two way mic. The lights are bright, not as bright as a spotlight but enough to be noticed. The speaker could be a little louder and the siren to be honest is a joke. This system does give you motion alerts. Alerts are pretty quick and that will also depend on your internet connection. There was an instance where it took approximately 5 seconds to get an alert.
Overall this security system will get the job done and it comes with plenty of cameras to secure your home. It is easy to set up even in manual mode. It does come with all the necessary accessories to connect your system including mounting screws. It is 12 channels total meaning you can add 4 additional Wi-Fi IP cameras. The fact that you don’t have to pay for storage and you can view and download videos at any time and use a digital assistant is what makes this a lucrative security system. In the box you get 8 cameras, 1TB DVR, 3 power supply, mouse, 2 power splitters, 8 video power cables, RJ 45 cable (ethernet), mounting screws, HDMI cable, quick setup manual and security sticker.

Cut the competition down to size and dazzle them all with the Razer Cobra Pro—a wireless gaming mouse powered by Razer Chroma RGB. Featuring Razer HyperSpeed Wireless and 11 individually programmable lighting zones, color your play with an illuminating level of freedom and immersion.
Posted by: Wishkid
The Razer Cobra Pro mouse is a nicely crafted super accurate gaming mouse. This mouse has 30k DPI, 11 customizable LEDs zones, and 10 customizable macro controls. It can be used via wired with included USB-C wire or wireless with Bluetooth or the included 2.4Ghz band receiver. It has an internal battery and you recharge it with the USB-C cable. The battery is rated over 100hrs depending on the wireless connection used and DPI settings. I have been using it at 3200 DPI with the included Hyperspeed wireless dongle and the battery has been excellent. After several days of use, approximately 4 the batteries were at 75%. That was also with the Chroma effects on. Setting it up super easy, if you plug it in at first it will trigger Razer software installation.
The mouse it’s super accurate and honestly 30k DPI is insane. At 6400 the mouse becomes too sensitive for me at least. I do like the fact that you can set 5 different stages for the DPI settings and use the buttons above the wheel to select them while you’re using the mouse. The bottom feet are super smooth, one of the smoothest I have used. The buttons are soft and responsive. And the wheel feels about right. This mouse honestly is not that big and it can easily be used by left handed. Someone with a big hand will definitely find it small. I have a medium size hand and it covers it almost entirely. The lights are bright with good color reproductions. With the Razor software you can do plenty of customization to even sync with other Razer peripherals.
With only 7 buttons including the wheel you may be limited to customization if you're one of those who you map most of your mouse buttons. Overall this is a great gaming mouse extremely accurate and it goes well with other Razer Chroma peripherals. Customizable to the teeth and it can be used wired or wireless providing you a lot of flexibility. With very good battery life it keeps you gaming for days. In the box you get the mouse, USB-C cable, wireless dongle, USB-A to USB-C adapter and manuals.

The XPS 15 laptop is the perfect balance of power and portability with an unrivaled immersive visual and sound experience. Whether you are streaming, editing photos or creating your next masterpiece, the XPS 15 has the power to move your ideas into reality.
Posted by: Wishkid
First off I gotta say that this Dell XPS 15 is a beautiful and nicely built laptop. From the silver color of the outside to the interior black carbon fiber. Even the packaging was nice, it looks similar to the Alienware packaging. This is not a high end laptop but it is not at the bottom either. It will sit right at the middle because it is very well balanced. This XPS comes with a 15 inch FHD display with Intel ARC graphics (4GB DDR6), Intel i7 Evo 13 Gen 2.4GHz ,16GB of ram(DDR5), 512GB SSD, SD card reader, 2xThunderbolt 4.0, 1xUSB-C, wireless AX (Wi-Fi 6), 720p front facing camera, Bluetooth, backlit keyboard, headphone jack and fingerprint reader. Setting it up is relatively easy as most common OSes you will need an email account to start and this being Windows you will need a Microsoft email. It took about 15 min or so to start and of course once you’re up and running there's a lot of updates required to do after, pushing the time close to an hour or so and that's depending on your internet connection.
The laptop is thin and is very light which means it is extremely portable. The screen is very bright and the colors are nice and vivid even when running on battery. The touch pad is super smooth and very responsive. Typing on it feels great, keys are soft, responsive and not bouncy. They are extremely quiet as well. I do love the surface where you rest your hands. The carbon fiber surface feels soft and cool that you can easily glide your wrist around it. Due to the size it does not have many ports. One of the Thunderbolt ports is used to charge the device, leaving you with only 2 free additional ports. There is no dedicated HDMI built in but the USB-C port does have display capabilities. Luckily Dell was good enough to supply a USB-C adapter with HDMI and USB-A port. I hooked up a monitor to the adapter and it works like a charm. The adapter is Dell branded but it can be used with other laptops. I will definitely recommend some type of USB docking station as you can run out of ports very easily.
The performance of this laptop is outstanding, It is snappy fast. This can be great for work, study, entertainment and even gaming. Even though it does not have the greatest video card I was able to play games with no problem. However, when it comes to gaming graphics it is not the best. I was able to play Call of Duty with recommended graphics settings and most of them were at Low. Don’t get me wrong the game still looks great but you are missing a lot of the details, shadings and refresh rate you get from gaming computers. Something that really amazed me was the sound. It sounds great, one of the best I heard from any laptop, even than my Alienware. Sound is loud and it has some mids and bass touch in it making it more balanced compared to those flat sounds you usually get from most laptops. The fingerprint scanner works like a charm and you can register multiple fingers like you do on phones. The front facing camera is not bad but I found it to perform much better in natural light. In doors the image shows granny even videos compared to outdoor where the image shows more clear and smooth.
Overall this is a beautifully built great balanced laptop with great performance even for the heavy user. It is not a high end but it does share some high end peripherals which suggest the high price. It is very light, portable and it seems to have great battery life. I said that because I used it for over two hours unplugged and only depleted about 25% of the battery. It feels great to type with and it has a cool and soft surface to rest your palms. It has one of the best sound speakers I encounter in this type of device. And with the backlit keyboard and the bright screen makes this easy to work even in dark areas. In the box you get the XPS15 laptop, USB-C charger, USB-C to HDMI adapter, and manual.

ASUS CX1700CK Chromebook: Stay productive and entertained with this ASUS 17.3-inch Chromebook notebook.

A very capable Chromebook
on July 31, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This Asus 17 inch Chromebook laptop with Chrome OS is a nicely built device. It feels light for 17 inches. This laptop is silver in color and has a smooth texture. This device has a dual core Intel Celeron processor, 4GB ram, 64GB storage, Wi-Fi 6, 2 USB3, 2 USBC, headphone jack and Micro SDcard. The USBC sockets also act as charging ports. The charger is 45 watts USBC meaning you can use one of your fast charging phone chargers to charge this device. I tried using a wall USBC connection and the system was smart enough to recognise it was a slow charging device. It has a large keyboard with a number pad. The keys are quiet while typing and they don’t get stuck. I was surprised they are not backlit which will make it hard to type in the dark. It has stereo down firing speakers but they are not too loud and has no base.
Setting it up was super easy, it took literally 10 min or so and that included syncing all my apps. Just turn on the device, connect it to Wi-fi, sign in with google account and that’s pretty much it. The screen is 1080p. It is bright, it has good color reproduction and is not super glossy. The display is not touch enabled. The front facing camera is 720p. The camera is fine for video calling but other than that don’t expect high quality videos or photos. The photo looks clear but kind of granny same goes for the videos.
For Android users, using this device will feel very similar to the phones. And when you sign in using your Google account everything syncs. For new users this should not be hard to get used to, especially if you have used Windows Os because it works in very similar ways. The touchpad has a regular size as any other laptop. It is very smooth, responsive and it supports multi finger and gestures. You can even plug a USB mouse if you prefer using that instead of the touchpad. This Chromebook does not have HDMI or DP but you can use the USBC to connect a monitor. That being said you will need an adapter for that. Luckily I had one and I was able to try it and it works perfectly. The battery is rated at 17 hrs according to the manufacturer. That's enough to get you throughout the day.
Overall this device is a great alternative laptop considering the price and the millions of apps available for Chrome Os. It has a large display perfect to watch videos, work or play games. It is light and with the multi functions USBC you can add peripherals just like a Windows laptop. In the box you get the Chromebook, and USBC Charger.

Good performer at the price point
on July 24, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
This 27 inch IPS Acer monitor has really surprised me. The KA2 is not the premium no monitor you expect, but don’t underestimate it either. It performs very well. This is an IPS LED backlit 1080p, 100hz, 250 nits of brightness and 1ms response time monitor. It also supports AMD FreeSync. It is black with just two connections, 1 HDMI and 1 VGA. It does not have any speakers and on the back it has 4 buttons to access the menu. Built quality is OK, it has narrow edges and it is very light. The included stand was also easy to assemble. So easy that you can tighten the base screw with a coin.
250 nits isn't a lot but this monitor is pretty bright. Images are sharp and the color reproduction was nice and vivid. There was very minimal light bleed, the room had to be dark and the screen completely black to be able to notice it. Watching videos on it was delightful. I connected it to my gaming computer and I was able to play with the monitor max setting of 1080p @100hz with no issues. I was surprised how well it performed during gaming sessions. I did not encounter any input lag and that thanks to the 1ms response time it was excellent.
The menus are easy to navigate and it has some video presettings. I used the graphics setting the entire time as I found it to be the brightest and more detailed. The few cons in my opinion is the fact that it only has two video connections with no DP. The built quality feels cheap but again this is not a premium monitor. Overall this monitor can be used for everyday tasks and gaming if you prefer. It has a decent size and performs extremely well at this price point. In the box you get the monitor, stand, power cable, HDMI cable and manual.

No more wires for your Carplay
on June 8, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Rexing carplay wireless adapter is an easy plug and play solution that will turn your wired Carplay connection to wireless. It has a small footprint and it can be easily concealed within the center console. This adapter will work for vehicles that support Carplay with wired connection. According to the site this adapter will not work on BMW vehicles. I do not own a BMW so I was not able to confirm that. I can attest that it worked with my 2017 Audi. Setting it up was a breeze, just plug the adapter to the USB or USBC port of your vehicle, then connect your iPhone to the adapter via bluetooth and that's it. I really liked that this device supports both types of USB application USBA and C, and the manufacturer included both cables.
The device has a USB-C connection, reset button, a light indicator and a microSD slot. The SD slot is for firmware updates. When it comes to the image display, it was actually good. A bit grainy but you have to look very close to even notice. The navigation on the screen was very responsive and fluid. After starting the vehicle the connection between the adapter and the phone was fast. Making phone calls, listening to music, and navigation work just as intended. You will not notice any difference from the wired connection.
Overall this Rexing Carplay wireless adapter works like a charm. It will turn your old wired connection into a tether free. It has a compact design, is easy to setup and supports both types of USB connection. In the box you get the wireless adapter, two USB cables A and C and some manuals.

Clean the air with quietness
on May 18, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The Blue Pure 211i Max air purifier is a very well constructed product. It was simple to install and was easy to setup. Once connected to the power scan the QR code to download the mobile application that is available for iPhone and Android. When you turn it on you'll see the bright screen light up with different modes to show if the purifier is on auto, fan speed wifi and the particulate matter (PM) or particle pollution. I have had air purifiers in the past but not all have the option to see the PM levels which is pretty neat. During the application set up, you have the option to connect the air purifier to your wifi. Connecting the air purifier to Wi-fi will give you access to control it remotely and some other useful features.
After the initial setting the air purifier began to scan for the PM in the air. I placed the air purifier in my living room and the PM was reading about 13. Within 10-15 minutes the PM was reduced to 0. I honestly could not tell a huge difference in the air quality but seeing the PM chart did give me some peace of mind. There are different types of speed settings including an auto mode. I mostly use the auto mode. However, the highest fan speed it’s actually pretty good too. Something really great about this device is that it is extremely quiet.
There is this welcome Home feature which utilizes your phone’s GPS location to know when you are home and away. When you leave the house, the air purifier goes into sleep mode and when you are about 15 minutes from arriving, the air purifier turns on, so that you can arrive at your home with clean air.
Overall it seems to be a pretty good air purifier, it is extremely quiet, very well constructed and easy to setup. It has good features, the mobile app provides useful information and it can be controlled remotely. In the box you get the air purifier and user manual

HP Hearing PRO Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids are innovative products that look nothing like a traditional hearing aid. Built to medical device standards and meeting all FDA requirements for safety and efficacy, the HP Hearing PRO features Ear ID™ self-fitting software and technology powered by Nuheara. Ear ID™ has been clinically proven to be substantially equivalent to a professionally-fit hearing aid. The proprietary Ear ID™ software tests the wearer’s individual hearing thresholds from low frequency to high frequency in each ear, then automatically programs the HP Hearing PRO hearing aids for each ear. This ability for the consumer to self-fit through the HP Hearing application, for iOS and Android platform mobile devices, allows a quick and easy acclimation experience for the consumer. The entire acclimation experience takes about 10-15 minutes from unboxing through customization of the user’s personalized profile to accommodate their perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. In addition to the HP Hearing PRO’s capabilities as an OTC hearing aid, this innovative product streams media and phone calls via Bluetooth®. The Active Noise Cancellation minimizes background noise for an immersive sound experience when streaming phone calls or music. Additional features include an HP Hearing app for iOS and Android, Rechargeable built-in Li-ion batteries, and Charge Case for on-the-go charging Most importantly, the HP Hearing PRO has been clinically validated through research completed by the National Acoustic Laboratories to provide a 30% speech understanding improvement in the presence of noise using the directional microphone feature called Focus. This is a significant benefit for consumers in restaurants or social situations where background noise makes understanding speech difficult. Now, at the touch of the HP Hearing app, a wearer can switch the directional microphone settings to Focus on sounds towards their front, quickly allowing for immediate improvement in speech understanding.

I honestly had no idea HP was into hearing aids until I heard of these. The HP Hearing Pro are very well made hearing aids. It came in nicely packed. They don’t look like traditional hearing aids, they actually look like earbuds. Some may not like the design as they are not discrete and they are kind of bulky for hearing aids. I get the idea maybe to disguise them since you can actually use them to listen to music. Is like getting two in one. They are big but not heavy and they are comfortable for the most part. To set them up it's easy, just download the HP Hearing app then pair your device. Before using them the app will guide you through a hearing test setup similar to what you get at the doctor’s office. I really like that because it adjusts the amplification of the frequencies you can’t hear. There is a section in the app that will give you an idea pretty much where your hearing levels are, and the type of sound you are deficient in. I will say it is accurate because I already knew where my deficiency was and the app pretty much nailed it.
These hearing aids come with a few sets of ear tips. There are 3 pairs of round silicone tips and 3 pairs of foam tips. Both come in three sizes from small to large for a total of 6 ear tips. Either one of the ear tips is capable of creating a nice seal to isolate outside noise. When it comes to sound they do the job verywell. I was able to hear all kinds of sounds including those high frequencies I have a hard time with. The sounds were perfectly clear. Another feature where these hearing aids shine is the noise canceling. That noise canceling is on par with some of the best I have tested. When it comes to music these won’t let you down. They sound great and with an outstanding bass. I also like how you can listen to music and hear the outside noise at the same time.
There are many features that come with this device. You can even make phone calls and with the left earbud you can tap to accept or reject the calls. The quality of the calls were very good too. An area where I was not impressed was with the focus option, I actually hear less with that feature on compared to having it off. The battery life is rated to 8hrs for normal use and 5hrs for constant music listening. The carrying case also charges your device and it gives an additional 16hrs. You charge the case using the included USBC cable.
Overall these hearing aids are true all around device, by far one of the best over the counter I have tested. They not only performed great when it comes to hearing but also listened to music. It comes with plenty of features and can be used as earbuds. With the 8hrs battery life and the additional 16 in the carrying case will get you through the day no problem. In the box you get the hearing aids, carrying case, USBC cable, 6 pairs of ear tips, cleaning brush and carrying bag.

The futuristic budget printer
on May 7, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
The HP Envy 6065e is a budget printer of the future. It is nicely built and it has this slim form factor that will fit pretty much anywhere. It is white in color with a nice blue and gray accent. It is capable of scanning, faxing, copying and printing. This printer, despite having a USB socket in the back, relies mostly on wireless connectivity. It holds up to 100 sheets of paper in the tray located in the front. The largest size paper it takes are A4 or 8x10. It utilizes two ink cartridges tricolor and black. This printer has some LEDS located right where the paper ejects. Those LEDs perform animations depending on the printer's current state. It will also make sounds. I really like them, they change colors and make the printer look modern.
Setting it up was easy by using the HP Smart app. Be aware you will be required to use an HP account or create one to be able to use any of the features of the printer within the app. I personally didn’t like that as you pretty much are forced to create that account to use simple features of that printer. As I mentioned before this printer relies on wireless connectivity, and that's due to most of its features requiring that. You can use the printer without the app as it has buttons on the front right corner. In that control panel you have the Information indicator, color and black coying button, wifi indicator, cancel and resume button and a number counter that also acts as an error code indicator. On the back you have the power and a wifi reset button and the USB socket.
Just like any other printer it is simple to use. It is very quiet during the printing and scanning process. It prints 10 ppm in black and 7 ppm in color. Color printing reproduction was accurate just a little light. Another factor could have been the printing paper. The flatbed scanner, I noticed that you have to place the paper right on the 4A marker. If you placed it right on the edge and tried to copy something by pressing the buttons on the panel, it will cut approx. .25 inch of whatever you were trying to scan. I did notice after that 4A marker there is a gap, and the white background that's on the lid does not cover the entire glass after that marker. However, using the app you can actually adjust that and scan edge to edge.
Something to mention and I really liked was the low paper notification. I have used similar and more expensive printers, and I don’t recall any of those giving such information besides when you actually run out of paper. I have seen that in those enterprise copiers but I wasn't expecting that on this printer.
Despite the fact that you are required to have an account to use most of its features, this is an overall reliable good all in one printer. It is budget friendly, easy to use and with its modern slim form factor it will fit anywhere. Since it relies on wireless connection you can print pretty much from anywhere. It comes with a 6 month free ink refill with your purchase. In the box you get the printer, two inks cartridges, power cable and some manuals.

A speaker that will take you back in time
on May 7, 2023
Posted by: Wishkid
If you're passionate or like vintage you will love this Marshall Action3. As my other Marshall speaker when it comes to quality they are top notch. They have this distinctive vintage aesthetic look that makes them stand out. This Actions 3 falls in the same category, is a Bluetooth speaker that will take you back in time. This is not a small speaker but it is not that big either, it measures 10.23x6.69x5.9 inches. It is nicely well constructed. The outer side is covered with thick plastic that gives this leather look and feel. On the front it has this grayish mesh which I believe to be plastic but it gives this cloth look. It has the Marshall brand in the center and gold trim accent that gives this speaker such a retro appearance.
On the top of the speaker you have the retro golden analog/digital knobs and switches. Yes, they look and act as analog knobs but you can also control them digitally. There are 3 knobs, one for the volume, the other two are for bass and treble. There is a power switch, backward/fast forward switch, a source button and AUX input. Yes, there is an actual switch to power on this device, I love it. This speaker is portable but does not contain an internal battery; it has to be plugged. Paring was very simple. If you have an Android device it will pop on the screen as soon as it recognizes it.
To control the speaker digitally you have to use the Marshall Bluetooth app. The app is simple to use. Within the app you can control those analog knobs for the volume/treble and bass. You can set specific placement of the speaker that will adjust the sound accordingly. You can also control the current song that’s playing and add more speakers. The speaker sounds great, and it is loud. It has a 4 inch woofer and two angle tweeters. I do wish it had a deeper bass but for the size it does very well. if you sit it against a wall or a corner you’ll get a much better bass response. The tweeters do a very good job with the high sound. This speaker will definitely fill a large room with no issues.
Overall this is a speaker that sounds great and looks amazing. A vintage that will take you back in time. It is very well constructed and it is easy to set up and use. It supports Bluetooth LE and is earth friendly as is made of 75% recycled plastic. If you don’t mind the lack of internal battery for portability this speaker will look great in your home. In the box you get the speaker, power cable, and some manuals.

By LALAW
There were only two reviews on this model when I bought it, one on BB and the other Amazon, the latter complained of light or edge light bleeding..which I have not experienced. Unfortunately, Bestbuy did not have the 9500 model on display.
Pros-Blu-ray/3D picture is phenomenal, in fact you wont know how great the picture is until you view blu-ray or 4k player.
Cons-TV needs to be able to downscale as much as upscale. Cable viewing is inferior to streaming sources (and prior 1080 TV). From what I can surmise, if the input source quality is less than HD quality it exploits the imperfection versus improving it. Watching regular TV is almost unbearable unless the program was filmed in HD.
The aesthetics of this TV is awesome.
I struggled with LCD v OLED and even bought an on sale 55"OLED 1080 P from BestBuy which is an awesome all around TV, just wish in came in a 65" model and that would be the end of my search. I don't know if a 4k OLED will improve or make worse cable tv. The 1080 P OLED is spot on.
I gave this TV 3 stars because viewing cable TV programming has significantly diminished when compared to my previous 1080 p tv.
The quality of the picture is much better when streaming Netflix/Amazon/Hulu/4k, blu-ray when compared to cable programming.

I Agree with Delgado, why giving the TV negative review base on Cable TV viewing. If channels are not transmitted in HD quality will be horrible in any TV and a lot of the Cable channels in HD are in 720 not even full 1080p.

My husband bought me the Apple air buds and they are too big to fit in my ear. Are the Belkin earbuds smaller than Apple’s air Buds?
They are smaller and more comfortable than regular airpods. these kind of resembles the airpod pro and work in the same manner in which you have to plug them in the ear. it comes with different size foams that you can use to adjust the right size.

If using an actual K cup instead of the reusable, will it fit a K Cup from Keurig? or is it a special size where you have to use an exact brand?
Yes the K- Cup from Keurig will fit. I have use K-cup from other brand as well.

Can the SoloCam L40 (or any other SoloCam cameras) use the Solar Charger accessory?
The manufacturer does not clearly stated if it does, but I believe it do because on the camera power manager option setting on the L40 you can choose the power source from internal battery or solar power.

Will this work with an iPhone 12Max with a Mous Limitless 3.0 case. Anyone foolish enough to use any gimble w/o some sort of protection is just asking for trouble IMO. I really want to pick one up but not if it won’t work with a case.
I used it with an Android galaxy note 20 and I had a case on it. The clamp expanded wide enough to support the case. So to answer your it most likely work with your iPhone and the case.
