The Quick-Release Battery Pack allows you to have backup power for select battery powered Ring Doorbells and Cameras. To charge your battery pack, simply connect it to a micro-USB cord and plug it into a power outlet. If the battery pack in compatible Ring Video Doorbell or Securtiy Cam runs out of power, you can remove your batteries by pressing the quick-release tab on the battery pack. Then, simply slide your second battery pack into your device, and you~re good to go.

Great to have a spare battery for the devices. The charge time is around 6-10 hours and if you don't have another battery your device is down for that long. When the battery that is in the device gets low I can just swap it out with the spare and it's running again for six months. Charge the other one and it's ready to go when needed.

Just mediocre

I purchased this drone to replace an older model Yuneec Q500 but this was nothing like the previous one and had awful video compared tot he Q500. The camera is not gimbal mounted and most video taken tilts in the direction you're flying the aircraft before leveling out. It has electronic stabilization which doesn't keep up with the maneuverability of the aircraft. I ended up returning the drone after a few day and was happy to pay the restock fee just to be rid of it! For just a little bit more I was able to get one from another company that had full gimbal control of the camera and it was excellent. The Mantis Q may be good for someone just fooling around but if you want to take serious video this isn't the drone for you.

Good system, small and easy to use

Verified Purchase:Yes
I received a Ring doorbell and needed a way to mount something in the house that was stand alone and didn't need wiring. This plugs into a wall outlet anywhere within range of your wireless network in your house and fit what was needed. It does however occasionally drop off the network for no reason that I can figure out. The wireless router is only about 20 feet away from the device and the Ring doorbell is 20 feet past that. The doorbell stays connected well and is further than the chime. I'm not even sure if it actually does disconnect, the phone app reports it as disconnected all the time and I haven't been able to test it when it says it's disconnected. Other than that little glitch it seems to work very well and can be moved wherever it's needed if you want to do that.

It's a replacement for the one I had

This trackball replaced my old MS Optimouse that they no longer make. I have always liked a trackball better than a mouse just for the fact that in a small space I don't have to move it all over the mouse pad to make it work. It is stationary and just my thumb has to be lifted to get the pointer repositioned anywhere on the screen. It is very convenient when you have limited space on your desk.

On my desk I don't have much room and it is so convenient to be able to move the keyboard around at will. It seems to be holding up just as well as any other and I have had no issues with connectivity. The battery life with a couple of AAA batteries is very good. I've used it for quite some time on the set of batteries that came installed int he device. The mouse I did not use due to personal preference because I wanted a trackball device. The mouse however did go to my job and the two of the staff that use it have had no issues with that as well.

I've gotten many of these coupons from Best Buy over the years and when I can use them they're great. I was using Shutterfly long before receiving the coupons and it is a good company to make photo trip books or special photo albums. Wish that I could keep the coupon until I needed it but alas it expires, or does it. This last one doesn't have an expiration date so policy might have changed. The product is great we'll see if I can use the coupon sometime in the future.

Good quality

These batteries seem to be very good so far. they seem more intelligent than the previous aircraft's batteries and thus they may last longer. I have heard that these don't do past 6-8 months before getting bulgy and bad. Only time will tell but the two I have seem fine at this time. They also seem to last the specified time in the aircraft which is great. With the two I have I can get almost an hour of flight time which is usually sufficient to get some great footage from a spectacular viewpoint!

This is much better than my previous one. The technology has gotten so much better than a few years ago. The Mavic is easy to fly and has great capture of video and still images. The only thing this doesn't have is a dedicated controller that has a monitor built in. That was always convenient when using the previous one I had. I kind of over came that issue by using a capable older phone I had laying around. It stays with the aircraft and the remote in a neat little case and is always ready to go when needed.

With more power and a combination of more channels it takes the load off some of my devices and makes them run faster overall since each devise is competing against each other. Good Upgrade!

Customize your gaming rig with this PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card. The 4GB of GDDR6 memory and 1280 CUDA processing cores let you play modern games smoothly, while the DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D ports offer flexible connectivity to UHD monitors. This PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card has NVIDIA Ansel technology for capturing quality in-game screenshots, and the NVIDIA Turing architecture delivers ultra-realistic visuals.
 

Does this item work with the dell optiplex 9020 mini tower

I looked up the system and it appears that it might work in that case on that motherboard. Get the Dell service manual and check on the upgrade part to be sure.

Will this work with a HP Pavillion 590-p0086? It has a 310 w power supply. Will it fit in the bay?

Not familiar with that model of HP computer so I looked it up and the specs I saw would have to make me say yes it would work. However, 310Watts is kind of pushing it to the limit. It may work depending on many other factors and components in the case that are drawing power. You'll need a six pin connector for the card itself and the specs for the card say it will be pulling 100watts on it's own. It looks like a very small tower and the motherboard pictured appears to have only one PCIe-x16 slot that is mounted very close to what appears to be USB ports that are on board. You would have to check with HP to get the tech manual that machine to see if it can accommodate a double width video card without hitting the ports. Hope this help a little, without seeing it I'm not sure how accurate this information is for you.

Enjoy enhanced viewing with this 32-inch Samsung monitor. The widescreen display lets you browse multiple windows and applications comfortably, and the upscaling technology boosts the clarity of lower resolutions to match UHD-level picture quality. This Samsung monitor uses AMD FreeSync technology to maintain a consistent refresh rate for smooth visual performance.Supporting a billion shades of color, the UJ59 delivers incredibly vivid and realistic images. Its greater accuracy means colors appear more natural and true to life, making the UJ59 ideal for photo, video and graphics applications.
 

If the monitor run in 4k 60hrz can it run in 2k 144 or 165 or 120 hrz

Doesn't appear that it is possible to run that refresh rate. The highest it goes is 75hz on some of the lowest resolutions. This was using a GTX1650Super as a video card.

Echo Show 8 connects to Alexa to give you rich stereo sound with vivid visuals on an 8" HD screen. Set alarms and timers, display your favorite photos, check weather and traffic as you head out, or catch up on news highlights and movie trailers. Connect with your favorite people by making hands-free video calls to the Alexa app or another Echo with a screen, use Announcements to send voice messages to every room with a supported Echo device, or use Drop In as a two-way intercom between rooms.
 

Can you set two alarm times for M-F only?

You can set as many alarms as you would like. I don't believe there is a limit but there are times I have 6-8 alarms set for different thing and it works fine. I do however set them in the app after the first one (you have to use the device for one) then you have a bit more control and can see better what you are setting. You can do them all on the device I just find it easier in the app.

Does the "drop in" feature work with this device? If so, can any friend or family drop in?

Drop in works fine and you can approve anyone you want to be able to drop in.

Can a second voice recognition be added, and if so how can this be done.

The three people in my house use the same devices and there is never an issue with it understanding everyone. It always asks to learn my voice better but I refuse her. She works fine though whoever talks to her.

Can this be used like a digital photo frame?

You can display photos from your Amazon photos but there are drawbacks. There is always other things on the screen no matter how you have the setting adjusted. It is not a true digital picture frame.

Will I be able to control my thermostats with this? Echo 8 show

Depends on your Thermostats. I have mine connected to the show and it seems to work well for the major functions. Turn up, turn down, change mode. The interface between my Honeywell and Alexa is limited but it works fine.

Store files securely on this 1TB Samsung portable SSD. It transfers data at speeds of up to 540MB/s for increased work productivity, and it connects to Android smart phones with a downloadable app, so you can backup pictures and music. This Samsung portable SSD is smaller than a standard business card for easy transport.
 

My husband has a desktop Dell. How much data will this external hard drive hold? Also, will it connect to his Dell? We have a lot of pictures saved on the Dell and would like to unload them. We are not that computer savvy? Thanks.

I use this for my entire catalog of photos in Lightroom and there is only about half the drive space taken up. Not sure how many photos you're talking about and being a non static number for the size, as every photo is different, then it it hard to say if 1TB will store all your photos. I can tell you I have 230,000 and most are taken in a RAW format by the camera and those are the ones I have on this drive that is now half full. You can also connect this to your Dell desktop without worry. I myself have a Dell and I use it regularly with this drive. You plug it into your USB port on the computer and you should see it in your file manager very shortly after that. (takes a few moment s to read and or set itself up). Hope everything works out for you and you get the storage space you need.

Does this work with the included Type C to C cable on the 2019 iMAC's Thunderbolt port? There also is a Type A to C cable included, but want to know if C2C works?

Since I don't have the iMac I can't be sure but it should connect. However the two are not always compatible and there are differences. The only way to know for sure is to either ask Samsung or Apple if this combination will work. The ports looks similar but the technology can be very different depending on how it's implemented. Hope you get this figured out good luck!
