APC Back-UPS
on September 16, 2017
Posted by: Effector2
from Las Vegas, NV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have used APC Back-UPS for about ten years. In that time I have had to replace batteries twice and have had to replace each unit about a year after replacing the batteries. One battery back up shorted out and the second one lost output power to the left bank. However, considering the cost of replacing the back up units as opposed to the possibility of having to replace computers, printers, modems, and or routers because of brown outs or surges is minor.

Good printer

Verified Purchase:Yes
Cost is too high. My previous printer was an Epson 4630 and only lasted one year before having print problems. I waited two weeks past the warranty date before I realized when the warranty was up. I used to like Epson printers as I had several through the years but their quality has gone bad.

I needed a hard drive of less than 2TB since I accidently dropped my previous one. This one was on sale for a good price. Perfect for back up on a 32 bit computer.

Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 4TB capacity.

Requires extensive knowledge of Windows operating systems to learn Windows 10. Too slow, freezes frequently. Returned to store after a little over two weeks. We were too late to get a refund, but we did get a store credit for the item.

I have a security camera system with 1 camera using a transformer converting 120VAC to 12VDC 1 amp output. What size APC is required to power 1 camera for 6 hours? The NVR is 120VAC to 12VDC 2 amp output. Would you double the size for above for 6 hrs?

APC has a way to estimate what size unit you would need in their website.

what is the deference between it the wd10EZEX blue one thanks

The WD blue is just an average hard drive that can be used for storage or general purpose use. WD has at least four different types of hard drives, each suited for a different purpose.

Is this compatible with home surveillance systems using 1tb hard drives my system doesn't give any specs.

No. you will need a WD purple for surveillance. Check this website: https://www.wdc.com/products/business-internal-storage/wd-purple-nv.html

What is the difference between SATA Hard Drive and ATA Hard Drive? Is one better than the other?

SATA is used in the present computers, ATA was used in older computers.

Only @ Best BuyEasily link audio devices with digital audio outputs to devices with analog audio inputs using this Insignia NS-HZ313 digital-to-analog converter, which is optical or coaxial input selectable to accommodate a wide range of audio devices.
 

Iwant to connect headphones to a sound bar that is connected optically to tv.

You may need an FM converter, you should ask someone at Best Buy.

Is this what I need?

I have a modem with 2 telephone inputs, router input, usb input, and one tv input. I would like to add another tv, is this the product I need? I will only be using one tv at a time, will it still affect the signal to the tv that is in use?
Yes, it could be used to split the signal between the modem and the other television. You may need a signal amplifier for the television if you get weak reception.

Compatibility Question

Would this work with Verizon FiOS? I need 2 way communication. The split will handle both the TV and Modem.
I am not really sure since Fios involves using fiber optic cable. I would think fiber optics would require a different set up.

What is the signal loss in dB?

Lowest signal loss I have seen is 3.5 dB up to 1 GHz. What is the signal loss in this splitter since it just says low loss.
I have no idea what kind of signal loss is involved, but I have used a signal amplifier in situations where I had weak reception.
