Prefect addition to the as Google Assistant family

So far as I have experienced, this Insignia brand portable smart speaker doors everything that my Google Home can do, at around half of the price.
It looks good, and has a quality solid feel to it. Sound quality is every bit as his as the original Google Home.
This one will live out in my garage, for times when I'm out there wishing in things and would like some music. I like the portability in that I will be able to unplug it and take it out back to the patio or garden area, to stream music while I work.

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

4K at 60fps? Fogeddaboudit!
on June 9, 2017
Posted by: MovieFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seriously - I only purchased this title, to see just how good, good can look, and the image quality blows me away! The level of detail is stunning, and the colors are so lifelike. Add to this, the Dolby Atmos audio track, and you have a very nicely produced home video product.
I only wish the movie itself were a bit better. The format of jumping between currently happening events (the media attention of Billy's platoon and the lead-up to the halftime show), and the past (the combat event that lead up to the media hype) taking me out of the film and more or less leaving me indifference where the movie is concerned. ...still, it's an amazing title, with which to demonstrate the capability of 4K displays!

UHD LOOKS Phenomenal, as does the special Noir version!
What I really enjoy is that this package includes the 3D, which looks every bit as good as the UHD when upconverted on my 75" display!

A welcome flashback to an earlier era

Verified Purchase:Yes
Spacehunter Adventures in the Zorbidden Zone has held up very well on the years since its theatrical release, and the care that went into the remastering of this this Blu-ray shows.
Colors, sounds and resolution are all as good as I'm remembering. Only one thing missing.
3D!
This movie was shot natively in 3D, and released during the resurgence of 3D movies in the 80's. Out was a technological Marvel at its time due to the size and complexity of the equipment involved in the 3D production. Up until this time, most 3D was shot in open spaces with very little camera movement.
It is sad that the original 3D versionmovie has not been preserved and released, and I hope that someday out will be.

Plenty of action and great stunts

Purchased this primarily because it is a 3D title, and no matter what others say, I'm a fan of the immersive experience.
Unfortunately I have not had the time to watch this movie in its entirety (family & work obligations). What I have seen of it is stunning!

A most worthy expansion to the Potterverse

We quite enjoyed revisiting a wondrous world where witches, warlocks, and muggles exists.
This does a great job of expanding the universe where magic exists.

Samsung SmartCam SNHP6410BN HD Pro Wireless Security Cam: Keep track of what goes on in your home, even when you're not there. This monitoring system lets you talk through your phone to anyone in your house, receive alerts when motion or noises are detected, and capture crystal-clear images in all lighting conditions.
 

does this camera require a seperate Wi fi?

No. If you have 802.11b, 802.11a, or 802.11n ...or the latest AC standard, the camera is capable of connecting to wifi on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands, so if you have wifi, you are covered, so long as your camera is within range of your wifi signal.

distance from router

How far from the router can the camera be placed? I want to put it in my kennel, 200 feet from router.
there are too many variables to answer this with any certainty.

Does the 200 feet consist of;
Open space?
Walls, and if so what type (brick, plaster, drywall ...are the studs wood or metal)?
Floors, and if so at what angle (traversing beams and joists at angles compound signal loss)?
Furniture?
RF interference (cellular, microwave ovens, cordless phones, RF remotes, etc.)?

Taking all of that into account, I would say that 200 feet would be at best, problematic without implementing a wifi extender, or one of the newer mesh wifi products from Google, NetGear or Asus.

If I am in my car away from a WiFi signal will my phone receive an alert that there has been motion detected?

If you have your SmartThings detection routine to send you a text alert, it would. Texts are transmitted independent of wifi or mobile data.

Samsung SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor: Stay informed and in control with this multipurpose sensor, which pairs with your SmartThings hub and your Apple® iOS, Android or Windows mobile device. A built-in accelerometer sends you alerts when someone knocks on your door or your laundry is done. You can also get notifications when doors, windows or drawers open. Plus, the sensor monitors the temperature and triggers your thermostat to adjust accordingly.
 

I thought that this sensor only detects if something is open but on this site it states that it can send an alert if someone knocks on the door. How does it do this?

it detects an open or closed status when in proximity of the included magnet.
It senses temperature of the surface that it is mounted to.
It senses vertical and horizontal orientation (for garage door open/closed) status.

...and it senses vibration as a result of someone attempting forced entry, or knocking upon the door.

The statement below's misleading, or 1/2 truth, I can't see how this would make a temperature change w/out a smart thermostat...."Plus, the sensor monitors the temperature and triggers your thermost"...never is smart thermostat mentioned. Clarity please?

it is a sensor, nothing more and nothing less. It senses an open/close status when installed opposite the included magnet. It senses the orientation (vertical/horizontal) to report on the open/close status of a garage door. It reports vibration, such as a knock on the door, or attempt to force entry through a door or window.

aaaaand it reports the temperature.

All of the above can be integrated into various other smart applications or devices such as the EcoBee Smart Themostat, and GoControl's garage door opener control module, but on it's own, it only senses and reports. It does not control.

Hope this helps.

Samsung SmartThings Home Monitoring Kit: Make sure your home stays safe when you're away with this monitoring kit, which comes with SmartThings Hub, a motion sensor, 2 multipurpose sensors and a smart outlet. Just pair the hub with your Samsung SmartCam HD Pro camera (sold separately) to enjoy remote monitoring on your Apple® iOS, Android or Windows device.
 

How many phones can be authorized to operate the smart hub? Could two cel phones and an ipad control this hub?

Yes. I have multiple devices paired with and controlling the system.

Three phones, and two tablets so far. No problems.
