High Security + Easy Wireless Setup
on March 31, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Defender 2K wireless camera system offers highly detailed camera security in a wireless, easy set-up method simplified by a mobile app.
The 2) provided cameras simply plug into a wall outlet. The camera data is transmitted wirelessly. Depending on where you locate the 2) cameras, you may need to install a wall outlet. Be sure to test both cameras thoroughly at the locations you prefer to be sure their wireless video signals reach the base solidly. Rain, wind & other inclement weather can adversely affect the transmitted video, so I recommend a full week of testing before drilling holes to run the wall outlets (if needed).
The cameras transmit clear, bright images with 127 degree viewing angle. They are well built & are quite heavy duty.
The base unit, which contains the HDD, must plug into your router; it cannot be connected to the internet wirelessly. The base unit contains a cooling fan, presumably for the built-in 1TB hard drive. Unfortunately, this fan is anything but silent; I moved it out of my private office, as I did not want to tolerate the constant fan noise.
This security camera system is extremely flexible & is designed to be future-proof; you can configure many options when desired. However the set-up is an antiquated system & is not what you would expect from a modern security camera system today.
Video quality is excellent during the well lit day time, but it quickly falls to fair at night as darkness sets in.
One of the best features is: No monthly fees. You can choose to self-monitor, or you use a paid monitoring service. With no contract or fees, the Defender 2K Wireless Surveillance System offers a high quality, value priced alternative, complete with a mobile app, to meet your security needs for the foreseeable future.

Dependable Wireless Charger
on March 19, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Belkin BOOST UP 5W Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad is easy to use, charges dependably & has a small footprint, so it does not take up much night stand or desk space.
I use it on the latest iPhone XS Max and it charges this phone through the Apple Silicon Case without fail.
Simply sit the phone on the Wireless Charging Pad and the phone beeps & the charging light on the phone confirms that it is charging.
There is a pencil size green charging light on the Pad that glows when the phone is charging, as well. The small size of this green LED is ideal, as it is not too bright to keep you awake at night. You can block the green LED completely, if desired, by rotating the phone on the pad so it blocks the green light.
The Charging Pad includes a black USB wall adaptor & a 4' USB cable that plugs into the pad.
CONCLUSION: This Belkin Charging Pad is an outstanding value & is a highly dependable appliance. It earned a 5-Star Rating.

Classic Marshall Vinyl Clad, Tweed Grille + Alexa!
on March 12, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Acton II Voice Wireless Speaker with Amazon Alexa Voice Assistant is Marshall through and through, solid to the core. Equipped with a Far Field Microphone array, a 4" single driver that plays down to 50Hz & 2) tweeters that play to 20Khz. Amazing classic Marshall sound rocks out!
Virtually no distortion is heard up to 80% of full volume. Above that nearly deafening level, the high frequencies acquire a slightly raspy sound.
The cabinet size of the Acton II is perfect for most interior spaces, unlike the larger Stanmore, which offers pristine sound with an oversized cabinet.
The 4" driver is powered by a 25 Watt digital amp; each 0.75" tweeter is powered by a dedicated 8 Watt digital amp.
Dimensions: 10.4 x 6.3 x 5.9 (W x H x D-inches).
Weight: 6.6 pounds.
Inputs: Alexa + Bluetooth & 3.5mm aux port.
Onboard controls: Knobs for Volume, Bass and Treble adjustment - each illuminated by variable intensity red LED's, showing gradient level of each parameter. Classic Marshall look & feel!
The far field microphone is unbelievably sensitive, even with the volume cranked up to "Volume 7".
Possible Improvement? The iOS App is easy to set up, but will occasionally lack control. Thankfully, the onboard controls are 100% dependable & even when the iOS App did not respond, the volume, bass, midrange & treble controls on the Marshall made the desired adjustment instantly.
CONCLUSION: Marshall scored a "Perfect 10" with this speaker & I cannot recommend a single area for improvement. This is one Rocking Speaker with Alexa that means serious business. I highly recommend this speaker!

Value Priced Earbuds Exceed Expectations
on February 14, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
JLab Audio Fitness Sport Earbuds are very attractively priced. They offer good sound quality for the money. The dangling cord was annoying and the earbuds were a little stiff, but for good quality audio at this price point, they are a good value oriented choice.

Powerful Blender with Features Galore
on February 14, 2019
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Ninja Smart Screen Kitchen System is a 1400 Watt powerhouse. Depending on what cup you install, the smart screen literally displays just the unique features applicable to that cup. While this is a cool feature, I found it to be a little disappointing because I wanted to know what other features would be available if I used a different cup. Unfortunately there is no master feature list, so I found myself switching cup after cup just to read the features.
The machine is heavy duty, however the cups are fairly thin plastic. So what you have is a super powerful motor, a well engineered machine, and cups which will hopefully survive the agitation.
The other unique feature is the ability to add oxygen at the top of the blender. I honestly could not discern the difference nor see a tangible benefit with this feature.
Unfortunately, my pantry is small, and I found storing all the accessories for this machine to be burdensome. While I highly recommend it, the user should be aware that there are indeed many accessories which will have to be stored, but you will find no more powerful blender on the market today.

Luxurious Power Cloaked in Leather
on November 18, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The HP Spectre Folio touch-screen laptop is a powerful performer, with the Intel Core i7 processor. Opening this laptop for the first time was quite a pleasant surprise. The case is actually made of leather with a beautiful cognac finish. It weighs 3.2 lb. storage is 256GB SSD.
I charged the battery in about 2.5 hours. I got 10 hours of life fully charged.
It features a 2 level backlit keyboard and has an excellent feel to the keyboard.
Screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, quite impressive.
CONCLUSION: With 2) Thunderbolt 3 jacks, this machine is ready to work and is sure to draw attention, in the boardroom or the classroom. Serves as a laptop, media or tablet and includes a stylus. Absolutely silent - no fans! Love the 3.5mm headphone jack. Highly Recommended.

Precision Body Trimmer Built to Last
on November 12, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
Philips Norelco Series 7000 Bodygroom is a highly versatile personal groom appliance that is usable in the shower or in a dry venue.
This trimmer is built like a tank with aluminum frame and includes combs for depth of cut control.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides long use and does not run down when stored.
With both ends offering different types of trimming, this versatile tool is perfect for daily use on beards, mustaches, groin, even your chest.
This is a wonderful companion tool to the Phillips Norelco rotary razor, which I also own. Both use the same charger, and both our built with similar premium build quality.
To clean, simply place it under running water. How simple is that!
CONCLUSION: Bodygroom earns my highest recommendation.

Powerful User Friendly Photo Editing Software
on November 12, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I am a semi professional photographer and switched from adobe Photoshop several years ago to the much easier to use Photoshop Elements. This 2019 upgrade is it real bargain and offers many new capabilities while maintaining a solid, easy to use platform.
Elements is a wonderful organizational tool for photos as well, and allows you to sort by individual, date, event, location, and many other options.
The guided edits are amazing and walk you through photo editing with 53 separate options. They are extremely easy to use.
Collages and slide shows are very intuitive and easy to create.
CONCLUSION: Whether you are already a Photoshop Elements user or whether you use a different software platform, Elements offers a powerful editing platform that I believe is the best in the industry and is very economically priced. Elements earns my highest recommendation!

Versatile Stylus with Pinpoint Accuracy
on October 30, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Logitech - Crayon Digital Pencil for iPad is a versatile creative tool for the Generation 6 iPad.
Featuring tilt support (Crayon is not pressure sensitive), you can make a pinpoint line to a wide brush.
The beautiful design & exceptional build quality are immediately evident. The aluminum squared design keeps it from rolling off of your desk. It feels strong & unbreakable to your hands & does not have the fragile plastic feel so common with the pencils offered today. In the hands of children, this tool, thankfully, feels less breakable than plastic competitors.
The Crayon does not work with the iPad Pro. I hope future iPad Pro versions work natively with Crayon, or Crayon can work with existing iPad Pro's. The iPad Pro is my go-to tablet & I would love to use Crayon on the Pro.
Any Lightning Power Cord can be used to charge Crayon, which is a huge plus.
The line accuracy is spot on with no visible lag, with a high precision feel.
Battery life is exceptional, with 7.5 hours of use & automatic shut off after 30 minutes of no movement.
CONCLUSION: The Logitech - Crayon Digital Pencil for iPad is an exceptional performer for the iPad 6th Generation & is Highly Recommended.

Premium Electric Shaver is a Smooth Operator
on October 29, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Wet/Dry Electric Shaver is a beautiful piece of technology and workmanship. It features 3) high speed, rotating circular blades. Because this shaver cuts by rotating blades, rather by the traditional reciprocating blades, it is whisper quiet, making a nearly silent, gentle whirring sound, not the annoying loud buzzing sound of the traditional shaver.
This razor excels at trimming your head to a near wax smoothness. It actually trims the contour of your head closer and smoother than the leading reciprocal blade shaver.
The Lithium- iON Rechargable battery charges in 1 hour.
Easy to clean - just hold it under running tap water and gently shake it.
This razor features an LCD battery condition display that accurately describes the remaining battery time.
This razor balances perfectly in your hand; it is easy to hold and to use.
The included carry case is protective, just the perfect size and makes travel with this shaver a perfect travel companion.
CONCLUSION: I love this smooth operating razor and have added it to my daily routine. It earns my Highest Recommendation.

Can i use them on a vacant lot? No power and no wifi, so can I get a data plan for them? I have verizon?
You can only use them in a vacant lot if they can reach the Hub that comes with them. The Hub connects to the internet via an Ethernet cable (included). So you would need the Hub plugged into the Internet to wirelessly reach the camera.

Safeguard your home with this Arlo security camera system. Its 4K resolution provides maximum clarity so you don't miss a single detail, and a siren is integrated so you can fend off intruders either remotely or while at home. This Arlo security camera system is weather-resistant, so it's functional rain or shine.
Can you pair Arlo pro 2 cameras with this system as well? We have 2 arlo pro 2 cameras we would like to utilize on the new system if possible.
YES! I paired 5) of my Arlo Pro 2 Cameras with one new Ultra Camera. All must use the new Smart Hub. The new Smart Hub included with the Ultra Cam will work beautifully with Pro 2. However, the Ultra cam will not work with your old hub.

We purchased 2 VueZone zone base stations and 2 cameras not so long ago. Then they shut down the cloud!! Are they compatible?? Is it possible that netgear do a trade in or discount?? Perfectly good cameras going to waste... Can we do a deal??
I am sorry, the Ultra is not compatible with VueZone. There are others who may want to buy these cameras for a good deal from you, due to the future obsolescence. You might consider listing them for sale privately.
Be assured that Arlo is the undisputed leader in residential Security. They are financially well positioned to maintain their long term status in the Security Marketplace. You will be making a great decision by stopping up to the Arlo Ultra!
