The Baby Monitor That YOUR Baby Deserves!
on October 29, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
It comes as no surprise that when I evaluated Baby Monitors, the one by Panasonic tested far superior to the 2nd place finisher. Panasonic has been associated with manufacturing the BEST electronic products for decades+ & this is just another example of excellence.
The motion & sound alerts are awesome! You can choose LED or sound or both types of alert. The monitor can pair up with 3) cameras, providing safety with separate alerts for babies in up to 3) rooms.
The color monitor produces crisp, sharp images, as you would expect from Panasonic.
The lullaby & white noise features add to the versatility & make this one device even more useful. I love the "auto lullaby" feature, where sound will actually trigger the camera to play a lullaby!
The timer option on the monitor further adds convenience.
This Baby Monitor even tracks & alerts you to temperature changes in the baby's room!
Pan, Tilt & Zoom features work as expected. You are in control of the image.
CONCLUSION: This Panasonic Baby Monitor earns 1st Place, Hands Down & is the BEST of the BEST of any I have tested to date. It earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

Boost Office Productivity with Stream Deck Mini!
on October 29, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
With 6 configurable one-touch control LCD keys, the Stream Deck Mini adds convenience & power to the desktop. Although it is designed for streamers to add one touch convenience, I find it useful for daily business computer use in my office.
The weighted base keeps it in place & the slope of the top enables effective viewing of the buttons. This is a high quality accessory & is at home on any Mac or PC.
I love how effortlessly (copy / paste) you can install specific icons to each button, move them around and change them at any time.
The smaller size of the Mini is absolutely perfect for standard office desks. The full size Stream Deck requires too much desk space, and 6) programmable buttons is more than adequate to justify this productivity boosting dynamo!
The USB cord was a little short to route it behind my monitor, where the cord would not show, so I simply added a USB extension cable - problem solved.
CONCLUSION: The Stream Deck Mini requires less real estate on your desk than the full sized model & costs less. The 6-button configurable one touch control boosts productivity in any work environment. It earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION & has become the most frequently used accessory (I use it many times / day) in my office.

is designed & built to DESTROY the competition, and it CRUSHES all competitors!
I use the G903 on a daily basis. The new PRO feels right at home with Lightspeed 1MS Report Rate & sits on either of my 2) Powerplay energized pads to maintain charge all of the time.
Response time is set by one flush mounted button on the bottom of the mouse.
LED Lighting is the same as G903 (you will not be disappointed).
Side buttons are removable & configurable.
Software is as easy as a free download to personalize control.
Amazingly, there is zero acceleration, smoothing or filtering across the entire DPI range. This means you have not only the fastest speed, but also the most accurate positioning at your hand.
SUMMARY: Look no further than the G PRO Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse to elevate your winning! This mouse easily earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

A Portable Bluetooth Speaker that truly ROCKS!
on September 24, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
The LG PK7 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a large, fairly heavy performer that seriously delivers clear audio at any volume without audible distortion!
I enjoy rocking out to music where bass is not hidden, or does not get lost. This speaker is truly at the head of the class in delivering both powerful bass, and ultra clear high frequencies, which add to the clarity of the music. Meridian Audio provides an adjustable equalization, where you can boost the bass, add clarity, do both or neither. The difference is stunning; I prefer Clarity & Bass Boost always ON.
With up to 22 hours playback, the massive battery, which powers 40 watts of powerful audio, justifies the weight.
IPX5 Water Resistance Rating offers compatibility around the pool with no worries.
The LED Mood Lighting is not overdone or obnoxious. It is actually a very neat addition.
CONCLUSION: The LG PK7 Portable Bluetooth Speaker holds the highly coveted position of the BEST of the BEST Bluetooth speakers. It earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

Strong backup with many options
on September 17, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
APC has earned the coveted leader in the market position in Uninterruptible Power Supplies for computer systems. The Back-UPS Pro 1350 is a strong performer toward the high end of the APC product line.
It features 6 outlets protected from surges and power outages, and 4 outlets offering just surge protection. It also has 2) USB jacks to protect USB from surges.
The display provides voltage, current, wattage, remaining time and much more.
The display times out but can be left on by pressing a button and holding it. Unfortunately the display produces an annoying high pitched whine, an oscillating sound, so I chose to leave the display off.
SUMMARY: This is a robust, excellent performer and provides excellent protection against power surges. Highly recommended.

Philips HUE Goes Outdoors!
on July 24, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
I am an early adopter of Philips HUE Smart Bulbs. This new outdoor spot light base kit, Lily, provides the identical millions of color, same as the indoor HUE Bulbs.
The vast majority of users will already own indoor HUE Bulbs, and consequently own a HUE Hub. A Hub is required, but is not included.
Build quality is superb; metal fixtures with optional metal stakes if mounting stakes are desired. Completely weatherproof, these are truly amazing lights!
The cords are durable and are very long. The brightness of the Bulbs is fantastic! The bulbs are rated at 25,000 hours, which is incredible. The individual bulbs cannot be changed, however. You simply replace the unit. I have yet to have the first HUE Bulb fail, and I have over 100 bulbs in daily use through 2) Hubs.
CONCLUSION: This is the perfect product for the many Philips HUE customers. Beautify your landscape and stand out with 16 million colors that blend with your indoor HUE. They use the same voice control, timers and scenes as all other HUE. Lily earns my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!

Lightning to 3.5MM Audio Connector - Simple
on July 12, 2018
Posted by: gadgetguy11
from Lexington, KY
This Belkin cable is well made & has the feel & thickness of Apple cables. The function of this cable is to connect the iPhone (which no longer has a 3.5mm jack) directly to a speaker or to a vehicle sound system.
Audio quality is not limited by this cable, so you can expect a wider audio frequency response & improved dynamic range, than when compared with wireless Bluetooth connection.
This cable solves a connection issue that until now required a wireless connection. This Belkin cable earned a high recommendation if you need to connect your phone to a speaker or to a vehicle sound system.

Add color to your decorative lighting with this Philips Hue LED candelabra bulb. Its E12 profile fits chandeliers and accent lamps, and it pairs with a Hue Bridge device for integrated wireless control with your smart home system. Set a desired white light brightness or color ambience on this Philips Hue LED candelabra bulb via the Philips Hue app.
Is this bulb weatherproof? I’m wanting it to go in a lighting fixture next to my front door. The fixture is partially enclosed so I’m worried about moisture damage.
HUE bulbs work GREATin outdoor fixtures. While not rated as waterproof, they are not bothered by the moisture. I have a number of HUE bulbs in outdoor fixtures & have for several years. I power each bulb 8 hours / day. Not one has given a minute's trouble.

Definitive Technology W9: Enjoy your music with deep bass and a wide audio range. Fill even the largest rooms with the clear sound of your favorite Internet radio stations and custom playlists.
Can I connect to this from a newer laptop/tablet that has wireless built in, and play it using whatever application I am in aka windows media player/youtube etc, or do I have to have a digital library on a drive somewhere?.
Great questions!! It depends...
Yes, you can connect to a newer laptop / tablet (I source from iPad Pro).
No, you cannot play it using whatever application you are in aka windows media player/youtube etc.
But you can source from Pandora, Sirius XM, iHeart Radio,etc.
No, you do not need a digital library on a drive somewhere, as this is designed to convey music from a streaming source.
I also source from an App known as Airfoil. It allows you to stream media from the internet through iTunes.
Sorry the answer is so ambiguous. You may wish to Google Airfoil App, to see whether it might help you. The short summary is: you cannot do exactly what you were hoping to do, but you can stream a wide variety of sources through your tablet & the sound quality is awesome! I attached 2 photos of my W9's, set to stream Sirius XM through Airfoil.

I Have This Unit , For About 6 Months, Recently I Notice The Protection And Grounded Indicator Lights Went Out. Is This A Failure Of The Unit?
Check the resettable circuit breaker, which is a flush mounted on/off switch on top to be sure it is in the on position.
Next,
Plug something else in the wall outlet where the Rocketfish protector plugs in to verify power is present.

Can this be mounted to the bottom on a desk?
YES, it can be mounted upside down under a desk - and already has mounting holes built-in. The low profile design is perfect for this, as it will tuck away, very near the desk surface.

Samsung SmartThings Hub: Use your compatible smartphone as a remote for your home's smart thermostat, locks, lights and other smart devices when you download the SmartThings app and connect to this hub, which offers up to 100' range to reach smart devices throughout your home. A battery backup provides peace of mind.
Would this hub be able to mate with sercomm ip cameras?
This is not likely, Jake. The SmartThings Hub works as advertised, but is very limited to devices it recognizes. I have 10) cameras in my home. This hub does not recognize most of them. It is a safe bet it will not work with Sercomm IP Cameras.
