Extra charger
on July 9, 2017
Posted by: Bill
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was using a camera as a battery charger which was a pain. Having to charge one battery at a time and having a camera down to charge the batteries was a hassle. When this was finally in stock, I purchased this with an extra battery and has made using the Arlo camera system even easier. Use this to charge the extra battery when Arlo sends me a message that one of the camera batteries is at 15%. Once charged, I just switch out the battery real quick and done.

Good compact universal remote

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought 2 of these for my condo. Have a TV in my living room and another in my bedroom. My living room TV has a Fire TV with a sound bar and blu ray player. Was tired of having 4 remotes lying around. With this I was able to get rid of 2 of the remotes in my living room. The unit connects to the fire tv remote very well. Doesn't feel too bulky to me. The downside and the reason for the 4 stars is you're limited to only a few buttons. Pairing/learning was very easy. Took me less than 5 minutes to get everything working. It works with all devices I needed it to work with. An LG TV, a Samsung TV, a Vizio sound bar, and a Sony blu ray player. Has reduced remote clutter.

Good earphones
on May 25, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought these to replace my jaybirds. I like these a lot better due to the ear hooks preventing the earphones from falling out while I workout. I have no discomfort with them. I gave these 4 stars because they aren't as snug in my ear canal and noise blocking as my jaybirds. The sound is still good though. I've only had these for less than a week so I cannot say anything about reliable quality. The controls are easy to use and pairing with my iphone was super easy.

Bought these because was afraid to use 3rd party ones. They work like they should. I don't keep count of pages printed so not sure how long they really last.

Can't go wrong with what is from the manufacture. They last me a while that I'm not complaining about how many pages I get out of it. And they're reasonably priced too. Don't think they're overpriced.

Wireless Cameras
on April 7, 2017
Posted by: Bill
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this after the new year due to the neighborhood being plague with package thefts and burglaries. Why I gave it a 3 star....well, first the cameras look nice. They look sleek and upscale and are small. They're truly wireless but that gives the cameras its limitations. Depending on your settings, you MAY get UP TO the advertised length of time for the batteries. I don't. At first, I had mine set to the longest recording time with the most sensitive setting. This made the batteries low after about 1.5 weeks since they picked up all motion and recorded the max 2 min even tho there wasn't motion after the initial set off. To get the longest battery life, you have to set the sensitivity low (which then in turn has the possibility to not record something if needed but you also don't record anything not necessary) and lower the amount of time recording; So the cameras are limited to a max of 2 minutes of recording. On top of that, they don't record until they sense motion and the motion is most sensitive when its sensed side to side. They tell you not to install the camera in a setting where the motion sense is detected coming or going from the camera. They suggest side to side. So when it does start recording, you miss the beginning portion of what needs to be captured. I have my sensitivity to about 70% on the cameras and recording 10-15 seconds. This, so far, has gotten me about 2 months on the battery life. The one camera that gets the most activity is down to about 23% so I'll probably get close to 3 months from the battery before needing to recharge. Another down side is that the base station that the cameras connect to need to in the vicinity of the cameras. So this limits you from hiding you base station or if you have a router in a place that's not close to a camera since the base station needs to be connected into the router. And unless you have a spare camera or one of the battery charges (that doesn't exist yet), then you have to take the entire camera to recharge the battery. So......Does it do what its advertised for? To a sense, yes. But not as well as it should. If Arlo could implement some sort of 5-10 second pre record buffer without draining the battery, that would be nice so it can capture the initial portion of the activity recorded. And if Arlo could have the cameras record as long as there is motion and not whatever the time limit setting you have, then that would make this a better surveillance camera. I think this camera is best used for indoor use rather than outdoor use like I have. Using indoor, you can use the magnetic mounts to easily take down the cameras to recharge.

Used these to install my Arlo cameras outside. They came with all hardware needed. Install was simple and straight forward. Had no issues. So far so good. They swivel a bit so you can tilt the camera to the angle you need.

Bought this to clone my old laptop HDD to a new SSD that I was swapping out. This made the process very simple. Install the program, plug in the USB to the laptop, then the other end into the new drive. The program copied all files over in under 3 hours for me since I had a lot of stuff that needed to be transferred over. Once done, all i needed to do was swap out the old drive for the new drive. Didn't need a second computer or anything. Had no issues.

Bought this SSD to replace the spinning HDD in my 4 year old laptop. Does wonders. Makes the laptop feel like its a brand new laptop. The drive is fast. Makes programs open faster. I bought the 500GB version which is more than enough for me. The replacement for me was easy and straightforward. Took me only minutes to swap out.

I already have these cameras but I am having a problem with batteries going to fast , is there a way to plug these in?

Yes, if you remove the rubber cover in the back, it will expose the micro usb port. But you will lose the weatherproof feature and cannot install it outside.

If I purchase the Google home mini would it work in Italy ?

yes but it won't work in Italian (yet?) and location specific stuff may not work. And you may not get any support since its not sold in Italy.
