Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my Samsung S5 phone. It works great for storing my Music and videos. It also backs up everything I have on my phone. It works fast and has plenty of storage for my phone. I have turned my phone from 32 GB to 64. It gets the job done.

iPad~ mini 2 has a stunning 7.9-inch Retina display with over 3.1 million pixels. It also comes with the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, ultrafast wireless, iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, powerful apps, and up to 10 hours of battery life.1 Yet it still fits easily in one hand.

I love Apple products but they don't always lead the pack like they use to do. I been waiting a couple of years for a smaller tablet like my friends' 7 and 8 inch android tablets. I am glad they finally made the Mini iPad. It is perfect size for travel. I use it while I am waiting at the airport or visiting Starbucks. It is small and easy to carry around with you.

What's great about it: The size and it's an Apple.
What's not so great: The price is still too high compared to the competition.

This camera is good for beginners

How many cameras do you need?1-3
Verified Purchase:Yes
I would of given this camera a four or even a five if it was not for the delay in capturing the picture after it detects motion. The person is usually out of the frame when the camera finally takes the shot. We estimated there is a five to seven second delay between the camera detecting the motion and the camera taking the picture. We own two Belkin Netcams and both have the same delay. Other than the delay, its a good camera for a $100 security camera.

Only @ Best Buy When armed, the Ring Alarm Security Kit sends notifications to your phone and tablet whenever doors or windows open and when motion is detected at home. It lets you control your entire home security system with one simple app, and it~s fully customizable to fit any house or apartment. It also has a Panic Mode feature, which allows you to dispatch emergency services right from your Keypad. With optional 24/7 professional monitoring for only $10 a month, whole-home security has never been this affordable.
 

This originally came with the solar sign and an indoor camera. Why does this package no longer include either?

I got my sign as a pre order but the camera was never offered to me. I order the Ring Security System the 1st time in 2017, and then only the solar sign, extra sensors and motion detector was offered extra for $299.

You love your current speakers. But there~s a world of wireless music they just can~t access. Until now. Transform your stereo or home theater system by adding the SoundTouch~ Wireless Link adapter and stream music from your home Wi-Fi~ or favorite Bluetooth~ devices. Setup is simple. Use the SoundTouch~ app to control your music easily through your phone or tablet. You can even play music all throughout your home by expanding with other SoundTouch~ speakers. They all work together to play the same music in every room, or different music in different rooms.
 

I have a CineMate 2.1 home theater system (2 speakers and subwoofer) and a Soundtouch 300, can I use the Soundtouch adapter to run them together

Short answer is yes! I own an Onkyo NR-TX 636 Receiver which I have the SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter connected to through the RCA cable. Plus I own SoundTouch 120, two 10's and 20 as well as the link adapter. They all work great together throughout my home.

You can hook up your CineMate 2.1 through the RCA cable on the back of your headunit. All the cables are include in the box of the adapter including the RCA cable adapter. Below is from Bose Website concerning the SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter working with older Bose systems.

"The adapter has three common outputs (optical, AUX and RCA), so anything that supports one of them can become a SoundTouch wireless music system. Most stereo systems, home theater systems and docking speakers are compatible—so chances are, what you have in your living room will work after a quick plug-in and setup. Already own a Bose system? Many of them are compatible, too, including most Lifestyle, CineMate, Wave, SoundDock and SoundLink products."

I hope this helps.
PS I own two SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapters, one is in my son's room.

With no wires in the way, Bose SoundSport Wireless Sports Earbuds keep you moving with powerful audio. Perfect for exercise and running with a sweat and weather resistant design and StayHear+ tips designed for comfort and stability. The Tile app makes your headphones easy to find if they ever go missing.
 

Will I be able to hear the stereo separation on the TV, like I do with over the ear headphones? Like with action/adventure movies, will I hear different sounds from each ear?

I don't about your television, but I pair my Bose SoundSport earbuds with the DishTV receiver. I get a full stereo sound. They sound great listening to my late night action movies.

Mount the Bose Solo 5 Soundbar or SoundTouch 120 speaker to your wall in your home for an elegant, clean look with the easy-to-install wall-mount bracket kit. The high-quality steel bracket is designed to provide unobtrusive horizontal wall mounting of your Bose soundbar.
 

Does these fits for Bose home theatre Cinemate 1SR?

The bracket is small. I used it for my Bose SoundTouch 120 and it works perfect. The Cinemate 1SR has a longer soundbar so I am not sure.

Extend your existing Philips Lightstrip Plus with this Philips LED Lightstrip extension. More than 16 million color options help you create the right mood in any room, and brightness control lets you use light for visibility, decoration or relaxation. Sync this 1m Philips LED Lightstrip extension with movies or music to add to the fun.
 

How does this light strip attach to the wall?

I used Gardner Bender 1/2-in Plastic Insulated Cable Staples for installing behind my bookshelves. The 3m tape does not work when it gets hot and starts to peel from the wall. Still use the 3m tape on the back but every 3 feet place a staple. Do not staple through the strip because it will break the wires inside.

Is there a maximum number of extension kits that you can add on?

The Hue website says up to 33 feet. I have one that is now 12 feet with no problems

Create indirect ambient lighting in any room with this Philips Hue Bloom lamp. It lets you choose from 16 million colors to create fun effects, and you can sync its operation with movies or music using a compatible app. Use your smartphone or tablet to control light levels and set timers on this Philips Hue Bloom lamp.
 

How do you control a Hue Bloom light? What is needed?

We have and use the Hue Dimmer Switch. We have programmed Dimmer Switch with 5 different lighting scenarios from waking to sleeping to reading and even a romantic mood lighting. We tried the Hue Tap, but for half the price the Hue Dimmer Switch is better. Plus we have the Hue app on all our smartphones and tablets. Last thing, we also installed Hue lights in our Night Stand Lamps to enhance the Hue Bloom light.

how many feet does the speaker connect to my apple , my kitchen is very far from my terrace .. I want to know if it will suit for a 30 ft by 30 ft terrace. how many hours in a row it play ..I have it , how many hours to charge.....

my quest why use bluetooth when app on your apple product can connect via wifi. Yes my son plays songs from his iPhone to our Bose SoundTouch Speaker 20 in the Kitchen, he will sometimes forget he has it in his iPhone in his pocket and run outside to the patio which is over 40 feet away. It's on the patio where it starts loosing connection. But if he stays in our house( which is over 2000 sqft), he never loose connection with Bose SoundTouch Speakers.
