Great video security system
on November 13, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The setup of a two camera system took less than 15 minutes. Quality of construction and style are excellent. Easy to mount or place out of the box, it has a mount that the cameras magnet adheres to, or by using additional mounting options that are available. NETGEAR is a solid name in networking and has been around (stable) for a long time. HighRes imagery is great for resolution and recognizable images. You can add additional sensors as needed. Can be used with desktop computers, Chromebooks etc. , macOS or Android devices through the well designed Arlo app or through the web interface. The audio alert is ear piercing - I MEAN LOUD! The cameras are easily concealed. The hub that ties every thing together offers multiple cloud storage options along with 2 local usb ports. The cameras use rechargeable batteries that provide power for a long time before needing to be charged. They are suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The cameras are of a true wireless design. I did not experience any dropouts or glitches. This is a premium system in all respects. The Arlo is a truly elegant solution to the security challenge. Crisp video and wide angle coverage make this system viable for home / office - interior or exterior.

Great noise cancelling wireless earbuds!
on October 28, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Sony WF-1000X Noise Canceling Earphones come attractively and protectively packaged. The big plus for these are really great noise cancelation, a first I believe for true cordless earbud style earphones. They look nice (I like their style) when worn compared to many other earbuds that look out of place on the human head. They weigh almost nothing and due to a myriad of configurations are able to be fitted comfortably to almost any ear. The battery case which provides enough juice, for the earbuds to get about nine hours of use, is rugged enough to carry in your pocket. A full charge of the case through the USB-C port requires about 1.5 hours. I would like more than three hours per charge for the earbuds though. Sound quality is great - I like the nice heavy bass and crisp highs. They are not waterproof. The case can be carried in my pocket easily and, in addition to recharging, protects the earbuds from damage. They work in conjunction with the Sony connect app on iOS or Android devices. They are currently available in black or gold finish.

Very nice HD 27" monitor with a small footprint
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Acer S271HL Gbidx 27" Monitor in black is a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution 16:9 ratio with a respectable 4 ms response time LED monitor that draws less wattage than a 25-watt lightbulb. Its antiglare design coupled with 178 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, a 100,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 300 cd/m² brightness is capable of producing a very nice image in just about any typical computer environment. It has three industry standard inputs - HDMI, DVI and VGA. The 60Hz refresh rate, while not spectacular, is fast enough for most casual gaming.
Setup took about 5 minutes and was easy to do. I Customized my settings using the Acer eColor Management embedded in the monitor. It lets you optimize viewing scenarios and appearance with the touch of a button.
It is a nicely priced, styled and highly functional monitor that is capable of accurate color, runs cool and has a small footprint.

There is nothing like a great memory!

The SanDisk iXpand Base for iPhone (the 64 Gigabyte version) is a great way to backup your iDevice photos using removable SD cards. The unit should work well on a boat or other conveyance due to its rubberized and grippy top surface for holding your iDevice. So recharge and backup locally at night while you sleep - simple! It is a great way to back up when you have no cell or wifi service. Nice style, compact and fully functional with a nice iPhone app.

A "Killer" router!
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Linksys - WRT32X AC3200 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Gaming Router with Killer Prioritization Engine was very easy and very fast to install and setup. It only took about 5 minutes – I used their included tri-fold instruction brochure to guide me. Their packaging was both great looking and functional. The WRT32X comes in near the high-end price routers and has features to justify that price. One of the most notable features is Rivet Network's Killer Prioritization Engine (KPE) that will elegantly analyze and prioritize your data for both gaming and video streaming. “Killer” wireless 1535 card prioritization is designed to work with several of the new gaming laptops to decrease ping times, lower latency and reduce lag increasing responsiveness automatically. Using a “Killer” enhanced laptop with the WRT32X, it seemed about twice as fast as using a non-killer enhanced router. Killer's Control Center software lets users prioritize data packets by app and services, optimizing packet grouping for game or video streams, over background tasks, file downloads, or other less important functions. Dual Core, 1.8GHz Processor, Advanced Ethernet Switching, Tri-Stream 160, MU-MIMO, DFS Certified, Beamforming, and Optimized Packet Aggregation make for a great router experience. It is a superb gaming router – highly configurable / customizable but should also function well as a primary router for any household.

Nice touch-up vacuum
on September 23, 2017
Posted by: jhancock
from Chicago
The Bissell 2151 Multi-Reach Cordless Vacuum is reliable, convenient, and an overall efficient tool for cleaning both home and vehicle. It helps avoid things like having to bending over to reach remote spots. Its LED lighting ensures good visibility of areas to be cleaned. It has a short run-time of around twenty minutes – great for touch-ups but short for whole house cleaning. Like most vacuums of this style its dirt cup / dust bin is rather small and may need to be emptied frequently. It does not come with a wall hanger making storage a little clumsy. It looks nice and functions well with good suction while still being very light.

Hear the world on your terms by controlling the sound around you. Innovative technologies in Bose Hearphones amplify softer sounds, let you turn down the distractions in noisy environments and focus on what you want to hear.
Can you connect them to an audio Bluetooth player, such as an iPhone, to listen to music when not using them for conversation enhancement? If so, what is the audio quality of the music? Do they compare to the similar looking Bose around you neck earbuds.
They are connectable to Bluetooth players like the iPhone and provide great audio with low noise. Yes - similar to their other around the neck earbuds.

Best way to get clear low light shots with action
What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
