Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.

Great day and night images. Super longer power cord, but need to make it thinner so you don't have to drill such a large hole in your wall to get power cord to inside. Minus 1 star for over priced storage plan

Not Bad but needs some improvement

Pretty good video doorbell. But the first one I got was defective out of box.
After second one installed works pretty good, but another company that wants monthly fees for video. Unlike Nest who still stores clips of motions even without the plan, this company cuts off all video clips once the free trial ends. So you can only view live video and that's it. Night vision is kind of of grainy so needs improvement for a 250.00 item. Also when someone rings the doorbell there is a delay of a few seconds when the inside bell actually rings.

The USB 2.0 VGA Display Adapter acts as an external graphics card for your Mac or PC. It allows you to add an additional VGA display through your USB 2.0 port. There’s no need to open your computer to add an expensive graphics card. With this adapter, you simply load the drivers, plug the adapter into the USB port, plug the VGA monitor cable into the adapter and you are ready to go. The Display Adapter supports three viewing modes. Primary Mode allows you to have individual applications open on each monitor, vastly improving productivity. Extended Mode allows you to extend your desktop across multiple displays, which can be great for spreadsheets. Mirroring Mode is used to clone one screen onto another, which can be ideal for presentations.

Works perfect to add a second monitor to my laptop. Tried the insignia version and it kept failing when it warmed up. This one is rock solid. Spend the extra bucks for better quality.

Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.

Great, easy to use and fast. Improved remote has enter button in middle of arrows like every other remote, instead of a separate button on old model. Voice search works great.

Did you shut the window? Did the baby wake up? What’s the dog getting into? Google Nest Cam helps you stay connected to things – in super clear 1080p HD video. It sends alerts to your phone when there’s motion or sound. And only takes a minute to set up. Google Nest Cam lets you see around the clock with Night Vision. And has a built-in mic and speaker so you can tell your dog to get off the couch. Think you missed something? Subscribe to Google Nest Aware + Video History and your Google Nest Cam will continuously record up to 30 days of video so you can rewind and see what happened.

Not Bad, Not Great

The Nest Cam has a good clear picture. However the fact that you must purchase a subscription to view your daily footage is something that should be listed on the box. It requires an electrical outlet so you can't put it anywhere like a wireless unit. It does send an alert to your phone when it notices activity, but there is a delay when it notices and actually records a snip it. So 99% of the time the snip does not show the person that triggered it, kind of useless. Its a great camera optically, but the subscription to get the full features and the lag in the activation from motion to record pulls it down in rating. For a camera at 199.00 this should be better and include free daily footage.

Make duplicate copies or disseminate information throughout your building with this HP OfficeJet Pro printer. Its compact footprint doesn't take up a lot of space, and InkJet technology offers clear images and text for plain paper copying and beyond. An easy-feed tray on this HP OfficeJet Pro makes quick work of even large tasks.

Nice Printer, duplex printing, nice paper tray. Works great but 3 stars because the print cartridges are double the price of avg cartridges. Check cartridge prices before buying any model.

The VH200 whole room heater is an effective way to reduce energy costs. This whole room heater has a thermostatic temperature control knob. Select your desired heat setting with a simple turn of the dial. Vornado’s signature Vortex Whole Room Heat Circulation then distributes the warm air throughout the room. Unlike typical heaters whose hot coils create areas of extreme heat directly around the heater, the VH200 outputs a steady current of heat that envelopes the room in comfortable warmth. This household heater is whisper-quiet, and employs advanced safety features to provide worry-free use. A tip-over switch automatically cuts the heat and power to the unit if tipped over. With Vornado’s unique design, the VH200 remains cool to the touch, even after hours of extended operation. The VH200 is backed by a 5-year limited warranty for season after season of worry-free warmth.

I have owned a couple of Vornado heaters in the past and they have always heated a normal size room very well. These new models have been shrunk down a little. But that seems to have made a difference. I use this for under my desk and it works fine, but had a hard time heating a whole avg size room. The 5 year warranty is great though.

Great Motions sensors

I used a few a these in rooms I go into and out of a lot. Works perfect. Has adjustable settings for when they should trigger, like amount of ambient light in room, which is nice so the lights don't go on when not needed. Also time adjustment, etc. App could use some enhancements, but otherwise works great.

Interact with Alexa anywhere in your home with the Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device. The compact size is a perfect fit in any room, and the built-in speaker lets you set an alarm or stream music. The Amazon Echo Dot voice-controlled device plugs into your home stereo speakers or connects wirelessly through Bluetooth.
 

If I take it home and plug it in will it work without a Smart or I phone ?

Technically you do not need a smart phone. There is a PC version of the app you can use to setup your account and settings. However it must be a wi-fi enabled pc/laptop.
There are a few features not available with the PC version. Smart phone is the best/preferred method.

Designed for use with a variety home automation and entertainment devices, this Logitech Harmony Elite 915-000256 remote allows easy control through closed cabinets or walls for flexible use. The remote works with Alexa, and the Harmony mobile app supports simple on-to-go operation.
 

Will this remote allow you to skip to the next day programing while in the TV guide schedule

Anything you can do now on your cable box remote can be programmed.
I have my Sony TV, Comcast DVR, Roku Ultra, Blu-Ray player, Apple TV and programmed and have 100% of the features (including a 30 sec skip for commercials on DVR)

It takes time, but if you program it correctly you do not lose anything. I also check next day forward and back on program guide and also scheduled recordings

Will the Elite remote control the new Roku Ultra?

Yes it works fantastic. I have a activity setup, I just hit the touchscreen and it turns on Roku and switches TV input. You have 100% of functions.
This remote can control anything. If its not in the Harmony Database (which would be very rare) you can manually program from any remote.

Can the battery be replaced or is the sensor basically trash once the battery dies?

It takes 2 AAA batteries which are replicable.

Freedom to place your home entertainment center anywhere and still connect to the Internet.Universal-works with any network-enabled device. No need to buy a Wi-Fi adapter that only works with one type of device.Option to power by USB port means no exposed wire hanging from the TV.
 

Will this connect a Sony Wireless LAN ready TV ?I have a 2010 Sony

I have a 2010 SONT EX4B / 40 BRAVIA LCD TV.
Model # KDL 40EX40B
It has never been used with the Internet before.
Original equipment called for buying a SONY UWA-BR100 USB Wireless LAN Adapter for SONY WiFi. This product is no longer available from Sony.

Will the NETGEAR - IEEE 802.11n 300 Mbps Wireless Bridge serve the same purpose, and allow me to use the Internet capibilities for my SONY Bravia TV?
Yes this should work, the bridge connects to your wireless network and then you plug the Ethernet cable from the bridge to the tv.
