1999 Interface, Poor Performance, Awful Docs
on March 12, 2017
Posted by: FredAustinTX
I am writing this after spending the better part of 10 hours trying to get this solution to work. The Best Buy team sold me on the best in class night vision, no storage plan, and the fact it wireless and was not as easy to thieve as the magnet mounted solutions. Well when I unboxed the item, I started laughing as you could tell the product is made cheaply. I'm not just talking about the cameras housing, I am talking about the DVR, power cords, etc. Not to judge a book by its cover, I moved on with the setup. Making sure everything worked, I set up the whole solution just in my office. Saw a lot of DOA cameras on other reviews. Surprised to see the cameras were linking and streaming to the DVR without any issue. (Note you better have a display or extra hdmi port on your TV for this guy to set up. HDMI cable included 4' and no keyboard only mouse control - ARG) I figured out the 1999 user interface pretty easy for the cameras (Thank God I am in IT) for those not Technical, IKEA gives you better instructions in the box. (Full Manual can be downloaded, from poorly designed support website) Time elapsed 30min. Now getting remote connectivity from Phone and or PC was pure frustration. (SMH) I followed the instructions to the letter, no good, tried following the troubleshooting on the website, no good, had a buddy come over who is a networking guru, and still between the both of us nothing. So after a long night of trying to get it to work, I have boxed it up and it is going back. I will say the night vision was good, but video quality compared to my neighbors Nest Cam was night and day. Also we just wanted to test connectivity so we spread the camera out throughout my house. With all the cameras within 40ft of the 1080p receiver, two cameras kept dropping signal.

SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker II delivers full sound with dramatically deeper lows than you'd expect from a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. And because it's wireless and ultra-compact, it's easy to take Bose® sound anywhere. With the built-in speakerphone you can take calls out loud with clear sound. And voice prompts make Bluetooth pairing easy. The SoundLink® Mini II can play unplugged for hours and be charged from most USB power sources.

Best Sound, Great Battery Life, but.....

This is my 4th Bose Sound Link Mini, but my first 2nd edition. I have taken my BSLM everywhere for work and play an love them. The 2nd edition is just as good as the first, with nothing else on the market coming close to sound quality, even large Bose Bluetooth speakers. However, I don't like the the new docking station. I don't like the fact that it is now three unique pieces vs. two. Plug + cable + Plate vs. Plug/Cable combo + plate. (more to possible lose) I also don't like that the cable plugs into the back, keeping you from setting flush to your cubical wall. (Desk space is at a premium these days) Picky yes, and that is why I buy Bose. Highly recommend we all ours!

Beats Powerbeats2 : These workout headphones are crafted to keep up with your active routine. The no-slip design of the call answer button ensures phone calls won't be missed, and music can be easily cycled through.

Price & Packaging don't match quality
on December 27, 2014

I purchased the Powerbeats2 hoping they would provide me a high quality experience comparable to that of being directly connected. Sound quality is comparable to my $29 skullcandy inks. Highs are good, bass is lacking. The may buying feature, wireless is really disappointing. I connected 3 devices to see if it was just my Note4. When I tested with my Note4, iPhone 5s, and iPad Air the max distance I could walk away in an open room with no obstructions was 10.5ft before getting a break in signal. Complete signal loss at 16ft. If you want these for the gym or jogging your good to go. Note as other reviews have stated there is a lag on the audio when watching video. Aprox .5 to .75 sec. Think my wife was right with going with the Bose freestyle.
