eufy Security Outdoor Cam Pro 2K is a wired 2K Wi-Fi surveillance camera that is completely free of the bounds of an external system hub- instead storing all the information locally in the 32gb SD card that comes with it. Check your high-quality, encrypted, 2K footage whenever you need to via the eufy Security app and only be alerted of the things that matter with AI Human and Pet detection. Outdoor Cam Pro is not compatible with eufy HomeBase. The USB adapter is not waterproof, a cover is required for outdoor use.

Eufy’s Ai Camera Is Great!
on May 18, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
We just set up our Eufy Outdoor Cam, the pups keep getting into the yard and eating grass. So we want to be able to see them in the bamboo and the grass. It will hopefully also help to deter intruders if that were to happen.
We were excited about Eufy's feature of local storage and how secure the camera could be. We will see how this pans out.
Installation and setup were done in a jiffy. Overall it probably took about 10 minutes to mount the camera, download the app, set up a profile, and tailor the view using all of the features. Of course we turned on the pet feature because of the two bulldogs! The difference with Eufy's camera and others is the magnet is strong and so easy to adjust which we love because based on the time of year we'll be able to move it easily. Another great feature is the prong to connect the camera to power has a small rubber connector that protects the wiring from getting wet.
The actual wire provided is quite lengthy and thin so it gave us the ability to run the camera as far as we needed and we'll be able to disguise or subtly hide it along the side of the house.
It is pouring here in Texas today so it was the perfect day to test the humidity factor against the weatherproofing factor. It has held up pretty great so far and unfortunately you won't see the dogs because they refused to go potty and get their paws wet!
A great camera for your backyard and lastly, if you do find yourself capturing an intruder it was so neat to see the facial recognition component and how the app zooms in and creates a cutout of the person's face! Very, very impressed!

Crisp Picture Quality and Great Sound
on May 18, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I haven't been excited about a laptop in a while (it's a 2-in-1 with it's touchscreen)! The image quality and my favorite feature is the Cinema Sound. So, imagine you're wearing headphones in the plane, you turn your head to the right to glance over and the sound in the headphones moves with your head. The webcam has a feature where it follows your face.
The camera's photo quality is lackluster and probably could have been better but I am not stressing it because I use my phone for photos anyway.
The laptop's speakers are actually really good. I have a 21 inch laptop from another brand and Dell's speaker quality is pretty awesome for the size of laptop I have. The keyboard is backlit, the USB-C charger is compact/amazing, and when flipped into a touchscreen pad it is very responsive but not super delicate like others I have had in the past.
Overall, my favorite features are the Dell Cinema features for sound & picture, the virtual assistant, it's compact and slim design, the laptop-to-touch screen, crisp picture quality, and finally the BATTERY LIFE! I think I have used the laptop throughout the week and have not had to charge it once.

Easy to Use Pro-Jector!
on May 5, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I’ve got two roles one is my day job leading a large team and the other is supporting a small family business!
This projector has come in handy for both! You’ll notice from the pictures that there are insects (day care lesson planning). The colors are so vibrant and the picture quality is supremely crisp!
Having had Epson products I expected something great and they delivered. I love that this new projector has built-in wifi! I had a previous model with the USB adapter and I was always afraid I’d lose it.
The wow-factor for me was how true the blacks came out on the screen!
While reviewing a Ted Talk video I sat and was astonished how great the colors splashed on my wall (work from home currently). Then I noticed I hadn’t even closed the blinds in the area room.
So if you’re looking to display your work and run meetings while letting some sun in you’ll be pleased to know this projector will display the colors you want. Others have failed at doing this well.
The remote wasn’t upgraded but it suffices and you only need an HDMI cable to jump start your next project!

Easy Listening and Great for Runs
on April 21, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
Just got my Skull Candy ear buds and I have used them for gaming (my favorite part) and for a jog.
The wire is a little too short for comfort for my jogs personally.
I was able to connect them to my Switch and able to chat over Nintendo online! Finally some earbuds that work.
As far as sound is concerned they are crisp and immersive. I’ve had some premium headphones and these easily rival them. I wasn’t a fan of the small ear tips but they sufficed.
These are a great addition to your family if you’re looking for some ear buds for your little ones and you don’t compromise high quality sound with these Skull Candy earbuds.

Crisp Picture & Great Quality
on April 21, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
What an awesome display, I had one that this one replace and the picture quality doesn’t even compare.
My favorite two features: the rotating base (my screen sits near the office window so I love that I can rotate it), and the crisp colors and images!
The refresh rate didn’t feel as quick as it stated but I’m still playing with the settings. After a tough d of Fortnite and some Outsiders it was pretty simple to conclude that I love that I can adjust the colors and use the hash marks to help guide my shooting.
I guess it’s time to invest in a better gaming tower.
If you’re looking for a larger screen with great picture quality then this is for you.

A Game Changer for Driving!
on March 30, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I hope this note sparks your interest (see what I did there?) and that you and your household find value in this Harman Spark! At first glance it looks like another gimicky item that might add value to your car but does it really?
I'm here to say that this is the first car item I have gotten in a while that is legit a game changer. The Wi-Fi hotspot is amazing. I'll say that again, AMAZING! I have a few in car items that require internet connection and becuase I had to manually use my phone before I just gave up. Now I hop in my car and streaming radio, tech assistants, and more are set to go.
Alerts are always great, and my phone gives them to me but now my car can talk to me! With Spark's vehicle notifications anytime someone goes to my car just to grab something i'm alerted that there is a distrubance. It doesn't sound flashy but we alwasy want something when we can't have it and i'm appreciative that in the event my car is hit or broken into when i'm not around i'll have a notice.
The driving notes are neat because I know that my insurance might provide a discount for having a good driving score, the geo fences are great for that one family member you want to ensure doesn't leave a certain radius, and the virtual mechanice measures: battery, coolant, and aire intake. I expected more and especially something that deciphers those dark dashboard lights more closely but i'm sure it will evolve.
Overall, I am imensely pleased and will be looking into getting some for our small business.

A Legit Step Up & Professional Mic
on March 22, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from AUstin, TX
For the first time in a while a mic gave me issues setting it up. I first ventured to set it up on my PCs and neither of them would register it even with troubleshooting.
However for gaming it was spot on a crisp with my PS5 and wireless headset! I’m glad and so thankful for the USB-C wire because it makes it more adaptable to multiple devices.
Downsides are that it doesn’t come with a stand so you’ll need to invest in something to hold it up and be sure to have headphones and adapters ready to get this mic working.
The device itself is a 5 star but the set up and the fact that it requires and auxiliary wire for headphones, no stand really made it difficult for me. It didn’t feel like it was a plug and play mic because so many come with stands and are one wire microphones.
Otherwise a great choice for someone looking to get crisp sound and less static/background distractions!

One Cool Toothbrush
on March 13, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I’ve had my Phillips One toothbrush and I got it because I used to have the Diamond brush. Thus far it’s pretty amazing and it takes up no space on my counter like other brushes.
A big pet peeve I have with normal toothbrushes is they leave residue from toothpaste. The carrying case has prevented that from occurring (BIG WIN)!
Charging is super easy and it comes with a USB-C cord so I really love that.
I thought the black color would look stained after a while but it looks just as new.
The actual bristles of the brush are awesome, I have Invisalign and sometimes my teeth are super sensitive. The vibration from the brush help massage my teeth which feels amazing!
Definitely going to set up the subscription this month.

Rocks N Rolls!
on March 13, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from AUstin, TX
I’ll kick this off with the con which was wiring stuff from the three rocks to the house. That’s because you want to have a fool proof plan on how to control this from inside the home with comfort. I paired it with an amplifier I really love that base Bluetooth!
So, make sure you’re ready for altering the exterior of your home.
The best parts are: the rocks blend so well in the back ground, the sound envelopes you in everything (especially concert/live tracks).
We have a huge backyard near a popular road that is high trafficked. We were working on the yard the other day, played some Elvis and it was so much fun blowing leaves in the yard.
The construction of the main rock seems pretty weather proof. It hasn’t rained yet but I am confident that the cover for the wires is sturdy and will prevent damage.
This set of speakers is 100% an investment but so worth how crisp and crisp the sound is outside!

Boosts but Tough to Install
on March 1, 2021
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
Unfortunately I wasn’t a fan of coaxial cables in the 90’s and I’m still not. I have had such conflict with myself because the cables are a mess, fussy, and not easy or discrete for hiding in the home. There are definitely clips and ways to mail the wire to the wall but it became more of a hassle trying to figure out where to drill a hole in my home from the interior to the exterior.
In the box there are less than 10 items so I thought this would be easy but I had to get someone to consult on where to add this eye sore and if there was a true way to incorporate this in my home design.
Functionality is great and it certainly boosts signal significantly. After the hours and days of fear of ruining my home’s wall and committing to the placing. I decided on a corner of my kitchen since I could hide the black box by the wall and an unused outlet.
In 2021 home design means any electronics that come in to a home are also chosen because of their design aesthetic. I thought this would be seamless and easy.
It was not and for that I can say that if you’re going to put yourself through the headache of the install you’re going to yield some strong signal.
Be ready to potentially purchase more coaxial cable, after tucking and running the cable from the roof to the small boost box it was very close to not having enough wire.
