Great value cam, good starter system.
Inside the box, the usually expected items. Camera, charge cable, mount and mounting hardware. Charge it, mount it, load the app and setup took little effort.
Camera has physical on/off switch so can't control that with the app. No biggie for most since you'll probably want the camera on all the time anyway. It does have the option to place a Micro SD card for local recording. A nice feature. Overall, the camera has a decent feel as far as quality.
The video quality is very good. It's 1080p so certainly good enough for most home environs. I think for most home systems, 4K is a nice to have, but certainly not a NEED to have and this camera certainly meets the needs of most.
One minor annoyance is that it seems to have a somewhat slower "response" time in waking up for motion activations, but t be fair, I am comparing this to much more expensive wireless ecosystems I currently have. Deal breaker? Well no, because if you don't have anything to compare it too, that is just "normal".
End of the day, I would recommend this, especially as an entry camera and in smaller environments, such as smaller homes and apartments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Your front door is an incredibly magical place. It’s where opportunity knocks and excitement arrives in cardboard boxes. It welcomes friendly faces and new acquaintances. And it’s a mighty protector against all that’s unwelcome. That’s why we built you a device that allows you to be at your front door no matter where you are. That’s why we packed advanced camera hardware and smart features into a mighty small frame. That’s why we lab tested it under extreme conditions so it always performs when you need it to. We engineered a video doorbell so magical, it makes you the magician. Infrared LEDs illuminates up to 29.6 ft.

Excellent Budget Option And Still High Quality
on September 27, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Great little doorbell cameras. I have had several between our houses we have in 2 separate states. This little unit is an excellent affordable option. Some other "big name" doorbell camera's can get in the $100+ to $200+ range.
Set up was simple. The included mounting equipment was simple, the wired doorbell is simply 2 screws. Pretty much impossible to mess up. If you may not be the handiest person, I am sure most people know someone who could help them out.
One thing I definitely appreciate about the Wyze system is it's native 3:4 camera aspect ratio. Many others use the 16:9 aspect ration which leaves so much unused screen, whereas the 3:4 uses all of the screen on most phones and tablets. Nice feature.
Another feature that is nice (again, especially for the price) is the included LED. It's pretty bright!
End of the day, this is an excellent choice. If you already have the Wyze native environment, this is a no brainer. Or if you are debating which ecosystem to go with, I would certainly encourage you to take a serious look at Wyze. Impressive little unit!

Great Indoor/Outdoor Starter System
on September 25, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Great product. I have had multiple indoor/outdoor security cameras/systems over the years and I can say, without hesitation, this Wyze system is right up there.
Inside the box, you'll find a single Base Station, it's power supply, a single camera, USB cable, USB charging block, basic mounting hardware and the ubiquitous quick start guide.
Set up was simple. IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need an available Ethernet port to set it up. Once set up, you can use the Base Station wirelessly. Simply download app, connect to your Ethernet port and set the Base Station up. Then charge the camera and connect it to Base Station and you are off and running.
One thing I definitely appreciate about the Wyze system is it's native 3:4 camera aspect ratio. Many others use the 16:9 aspect ration which leaves so much unused screen, whereas the 3:4 uses all of the screen on most phones and tablets. Nice feature.
Another nice add is that you can insert Micro SD in both the Base Station and the camera for native recording.
While it is a very good system, it does have one [in my mind] limitation... The Base Station can only support 4 Wyze cameras. You can certainly add more Base Stations to increase capacity, but it would be nice if it supported 8 or 12 camera's. Yes, a minor nitpick but I think it's fair.

Great Home Office / Small Office Choice
on August 31, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Great printer.
This thing is very fast, at least as compared to my existing home bubble jet printers. Specs say up t 42 PPM and that seems about right. My legacy printers are closer to 7 to 10 PPM so this is a big step up. The quality of print was tight, right and precise. Again, a slight edge over legacy home bubble jets.
I am going to split my print jobs between this and other devices that are already on my network. As a realtor, it is often required to print contracts, counters, objections and other print (non-picture) items and this HP will do that job. One reason, because it does it better, but also because over the life of devices, this should do those jobs for significantly less cost.
It does support remote printing with the HP app and it says it supports Apple Air print but I did not test either because I have had no use for remote printing since I do most of my work from my home office.
Set up was pretty simple, about average for any printer. One important note however, this does require an Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T network; 802.3az(EEE) so make sure you have the ability to have a wired connection.
And of the day, very good choice, especially for small business / home office printing.

Powerful, Quiet, Solid Choice
on August 25, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Great disposal. Plenty of power for most households, easy install (if you've done one before or are pretty handy), quiet and reliable.
First thoughts, this is indeed a quality unit. I have some experience with other disposals and this is right up there with the better units I've experienced. Some disposals have a cheap "plasticky" feel and the materials seem somewhat cheap. The materials on this unit are solid, heavy and fit and finish is certainly better than some.
As for installation, as I stated previously, if you are half-way handy or have installed or replaced disposals, this is pretty universal. If you are OK gettting on your back and side and working at awkward angles, no problem. If you are NOT comfortable with this, hire a professional or handy man. Getting it done right is the ONLY way to do it.
Mounting flanges were universal. It took us probably 45 to 50 minutes in removing the old [25+years], loud and HEAVY disposal. Hooking this one up was pretty simple but did take some time to do it right.
Once it was installed, we were surprised at how quiet it was, at least as compared to our old one. We did some basic tests of typical kitchen waste and the 3/4 HP handled it all in stride.
If you have a need for either a replacement or new installation, I would have no problem recommending this unit.

Great Choice For Most Users
on August 14, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Great budget choice for most users.
Installation took just a few minutes. If you are comfortable with most simple home improvement projects, this should be no problem for you. If you are not, you should be able to hire an HVAC professional for not too much, depending on your market.
This unit has a positive feel and appears to be high quality. The face is clean, simple and easy to understand. Sometimes for some people (like my mom), newer technology can be a challenge. Not with this Sensi programmable. That said, I installed in my mom's house on our property and she was able to easily use it both as a wall mounted old school thermostat and from her phone. It took a little bit of "training" but she has now mastered how to remotely control it. She admitted that it was bit of an indulgence to be able to adjust temperature from her chair or in bed. I'm trying to get her to use a Google home assistant so she can control it via voice. She's not ready tp take that step yet, but this Sensi thermostat has brought us one step closer to that endeavor. One step at a time!
End of the day, this is a great budget choice that offers simple installation and intuitive control.

Love these!
These are a great budget choice. I have reviewed several other gaming headsets from the $30 range clear up the $350 range. These are closer in price to the $30 sets, but almost as close to quality and sound as the $300 range.
First and foremost, for all of those of us who have had a marathon gaming session that goes for hours and hours, comfort is of utmost importance. These do not disappoint. I wore these for a 3 hour session and had no lasting discomfort. The foam cushions easily cover the ears blocking out most ambient sounds while still providing an ease of wearability that is great. From a comfort standpoint, these are very good.
One of my favorite features of this Corsair is the 7.1 Dolby support. The surround experience is very good. Sounds seem to "move" in the sound-field all around you... Over, under, L-R/R-L and all around this offers an excellent surround.
The mic works very well. Fully adjustable and the sound (according to those who I was talking to) was great.
End of the day, these are an excellent value for the daily gamer or for the semi-pro who demands comfort, surround and all at a great price.

Great Choice For Affordable "Beater" Buds...
on August 11, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Let's start with Earbuds are LOUD!
Usually when you think "loud" earbuds, you are thinking "loud" as in volume. While these fit that description, what I mean is they are "loud" to look at. These ugly ducklings really stand out in a crowd. No one will wonder if that dude is wearing buds, but they may actually serve as a safety reflection for jogging in the dark.. Just kidding about that of course, but yeah, they stand out.
.
OK, now for the guts... These are true wireless earbuds. They fit firmly in the ears with the available rubber plugs. Important note, the extra plugs are a little bit hidden in the bottom of the cardboard packaging. Once you find your fit, they are adequately comfortable for most workout/jog/walk type exercise's. You won't to be flying from NYC to Tokyo with these but they are great for a solid jog or rip through the weights.

These are "water resistant" [NOT waterproof!] which means they are good for most exercise regimens. You can sweat quite a bit and these will keep going.
As for battery, I honestly have not had a chance to confirm numbers, but they easily lasted 3 hours of jogging and elliptical on just the buds charge. The case can also be charged and
it will charge the buds giving multiple uses without needing to be plugged in.
it will charge the buds giving multiple uses without needing to be plugged in.
The sound was good, not great, but for the price they are better than others at same price point. As mentioned in the title, these are a great choice. If for some reason you do lose one [or both], not the end of the world. As compared to other ear buds I've reviewed that are at a three, four, five hundred dollar threshold, I am much more comfortable abusing these than the more expensive ones. That said, these feel like they could take a certain amount of "abuse". They have a solid feel like they could take a bit of a beating and keep on going.
End of the day, I really like these buds. They do what they are supposed to do and won't cost a fortune. Good choice for those on a budget or those who may be concerned about beating their expensive buds to death.
Nice affordable option, JLab!

Great PoE NVR Security Choice
on August 3, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Great affordable choice!
I usually try to include pictures in my review, but sadly, my phone is on the way to Chicago becuse my wife took my computer bag and I forgot to get the phone... Living without a phone for a few days, this should be fun!
OK, now for the review. The packaging was sparse but effective. Everything was well protected but easy to access. In one box we had 4 camera's, 4 ethernet cables and mounting hardware.
Second box had DVR, power cable and other peripheral items like paperwork etcetera.
Setup was relatively easy. Took total of 20 minutes or so. I tested each of the camera's separately prior to final installation. Nothing would be more frustrating than to go to lengths of installing and then finding a failure and having to troubleshoot it back to fail point. Fortunately, all was well.
One thing I really like about this system is the PoE [Power over Ethernet] for the camera and NVR [Network Video Recorder].
First, the PoE provides power to the cameras over the Ethernet cable. This removes the need for separate power cables, adapters and octopus power splits. This makes installation so much easier and allows far more options for location and mounting.
As for the NVR, this means the camera's are IP [internet protocol] instead of analog. The video is processed at the camera and then converted to digital where is sent to the 2TB NVR recorder. This is a very efficient means of transferring information and is great for the true 4k resolution this system provides.
Now for the 2TB NVR, that is a huge amount of storage. It should be ample for most 4 camera users for 2 to 3 weeks of recording. This of course has many variables as someone on a busy street that has each camera set for auto-movement detection will have many more recording instances than someone on a much less busy street, but for most 2TB is more than ample.
Important note: if you are not comfortable pulling wires through your house, please consider hiring a professional. You will be happy you did if you are not experienced.
As for camera quality, I have found them to be excellent in both day and night mode. There are many variables you can program as to what will trigger automatic recording and actions of lights. The cameras are equipped with LED lights but they are NOT going to light up like a spotlight. They are more just to let the person they are recording know they are being recorded.
End of the day, this an excellent PoE NVR system for the price. Offering 4 cameras with audio and the option for 8 cameras, this should be ample for most residential or small business needs.

Gorgeous case!
Got this for my 17 year old daughter and she LOVES it!
First impressions, she said it was very pretty. It fits her iPad perfectly and allows easy access. Very versatile. It has several options for how you can use it on a daily basis and various environments [desk, lap, table, fold down tray, bed etcetera]. The overall feel of the case has a high quality vibe and it seems to protect the iPad very well. That's certainly a good thing given the price and mobility of the iPad 10.2"! While a real quality test will take weeks, if not months [or hopefully years] initial feedback is positive.
As for value, this seems to fit in as a good value compared to some other options. Are there less expensive cases? Well yes, but a couple that I handled while shopping didn't have the same quality feel. And of course, yes, there are more expensive options but for basic every day use, I find this to be a great option.
I would have liked to have posted more pictures, by daughter absconded with it before I could!

I'm not sure I understand the question. You should be able to plug the USB into your PC, turn your mouse to the "on" position and have it operate no problems.
