Old Tech w/New Tech Price Tag

I was really looking forward to having this security camera system replace the Android phones that I'm currently using as a security monitoring system. I should have done more research because after setting the system up I discovered that there is no color night vision. My second disappointment was to find out that the phones I'm using are much clearer, sharper, and able to perform night vision better than the Lorex system. The only plus I found was that the Lorex system came with a DVR. Of course, the firmware for this DVR hadn't been updated since 2015, nor is there any available current update. The cameras are just as old and just as outdated.
In this day and age of computer networking and high-speed data transfers both wireless and wired, I should be looking into POE systems. This BNC setup is outdated as analog is.
In the end, I returned it.

Even though this particular Megaboom was a gift, I'm still able to watch and listen to is usage. Still the same great sounds, quality, and loudness. My only complaint is that the packaging has been downsized, which to some maybe a good thing.

This almost 10 inch tablet in 4:3 ratio has been an all day everyday use tablet. I've given up surfing, email checking, and other small tasks that I normally do on my notebook PC.

Lots of 1's and 0's

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased 2 of these 2TB HDD's to replace 2 1TB HDD's of which one had failed, so I wasn't going to wait around for the 2nd one to also fail.
I'm using these to replace the HDD's in an older 2009 Seagate FreeAgent XTreme 1TB external HDD. The enclosure of these are a tad bit difficult to open without breaking some tabs, but the drive was easily removed and these new 2TB HDD's fit right in. I trided to do so with other WD drives, but the external HDDs control board prevented them from fitting and making connection. Best part of this external enclosure is that it supports E-SATA.
So far, I haven't yet written more than 10TB to each drive, but they are working great in an enclosure that is almost 10-years old.

Exactly What My Nexus Player Was Looking For
on January 15, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't regret picking this up for my Nexus Player requirements. I'm able to play Asphalt8 with no problems now. I have only tested it out on that and PacMan256.
It is light in weight and isn't rechargeable, but you can use rechargeable AA batteries.
I'll do more testing later this year, but I'm in no rush - I want to try and load some console and arcade emulators and find out if it is seen by them.

When are there note to my previous review is that you can connect a storage device via OTG cable or those flash drives that have a Micro USB connection built-in already. Of course you have to have marshmallow for this. This will allow you to play MKV videos with Kodi.

So Far on Time Warner
on December 17, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
For the longest time, I've had this modem on backorder from A-maz-on but while I was shopping in store with my family, I passed by the modem section to find the 6183 by chance. I tried shopping for this on BB's website to no avail in-store. Wouldn't you know, it was here - but there was only one and it was in the wrong section. I don't even think there was a shelf tag for it as I had to take it to the computer sales desk to scan it. Sure enough, it was the same price.
TW had no problem allowing this modem on their cable line. I was up and running and not paying their modem fee in no time. I pull down exactly as I expect and am looking to pull down more, like 300+ in the future when or if my neighborhood gets upgraded.
My connection has only gone down 3 times since November 1, but I suspect that it is my router - I run pretty close to the most recent firmware of my router so I expect that I am a test dummy. Usually, when I experience too many interruptions, I downgrade my firmware to a known and reliable version. No fault of the modem.
The modem is white. At night, it is nearly translucdent, allowing the blue and green led's to shine and light up my ceiling and surrounding area. Great for a night-light. Bad for those sensative to any light at night.
This should last me for the next 5-years I suspect. I wouldn't recommend this for consumers not looking for the fasttest possible speed. The lesser versions of the Surfboard series should suffice the minimum requirements for slower service. This is the only modem from Moto that is allowed for the Ultimate plan.

With electronic SteadyShot image stabilization, this Sony POV HDRAZ1VR/W camcorder enables you to capture smooth, crisp images. The ultracompact design supports on-the-go shooting sessions.
 

can it be used overseas and can the live remote stay in USA and camera be recording in Finland

No. The device needs to be near the remote because it uses Bluetooth or something local. Maybe a security system is what you need with "remote access" through the Internet.
