Not as good as the Arlo cameras

I have a two pack of these spotlights. One seems to work better than the other and that might be due to the location and distance from the bridge/wifi. The one closest to the bridge works and the other is spotty at best.

Good sound for a soundbar
on November 8, 2019
Posted by: GarminFan
Verified Purchase:Yes
I used to be in the home theater business so I pretty much know what sounds right verses thin or tinny. The fact that this has the 3 channel setup means that for movies you have the front sound field covered where 85% of the sound comes from. I hooked it up to a couple of movies to make sure it worked and it sounded pretty good for a sound bar. It is fairly heavy as well, that is due to the subwoofers that they have in the sound bar and the substantial magnets for the front sound field. I got this mainly as a system for an rv and didn't have room for a stand alone sub. I think it will work perfectly. Also got it open box. I faired well over the years off of other people's buyer remorse.

This movie was pretty good. The child actors were good and it was good to see Zac Levi again. Special effects were pretty cool giving this the re-watchable factor.

I have been buying Onkyo Receivers for years as I used to have a home theater business. To me the best bang for the buck out there. Sound is always smooth and transparent. Everyone I have ever had worked smoothly and no problems ever. I have a few 20 year old receivers still working great.

Pretty nice tv for Sony's smallest HDR capable tv. Actually bought it new and had the geek squad plan and then a surge blew it out within the period and best buy made it good. Got lucky and scored a floor model for half the price and put the remainder on 4K collection!!

How long does the Arlo 2 spotlight stay on?

The minimum time is 5 minutes once it has been tripped. You can set it up to stay on for up to 60 minutes once tripped or you can set it to always on. Of course, that runs down battery life pretty quick.

Do I need to purchase anything else for the lights to work?

You have to have an Arlo Base Station set up and then get the Spotlights that have the extender in the package. The extender sets up with the base. After you have the extender set up then you can add just the spotlight to the system. But to start, you need an Arlo base (with the camera system) and the spotlight package with the extender in it.

My PC has 1 HDMI out and 1 DVI out. I use the HDMI for an existing monitor and I want to add this as a second monitor. Can I use a DVI to HDMI adapter to connect this monitor or will that cause compatibility problems? (I don't want any VGA.)

YOU MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE YOUR MONITOR CARD TO ACCEPT 2 DIGITAL MONITORS.

I have a 2019 Samsung TV w/ARC HDMI port. Need to connect 2 HDMI inputs: a CableBox, and a Blue-RayPlayer to the TV and soundbar. Can I use the soundbar as an AV Hub, linking 2 HDMI sources to Soundbar, with an HDMI between Soundbar and TV ARC ports?

User submitted photo
I don't think so. It only has one hdmi in (4k player, blu ray, or cable box) and one that goes out. If you put in your tv arc then you will have sound for the tv and which ever one of the three devices mentioned previously.

To run multiple devices with one hdmi out you need a receiver with multiple hdmi ins and one hdmi out to the tv arc hdmi in.

Can the sound bar be attached to a tv monitor ? on top or bottom of the monitor.

It comes with two L shaped brackets, probably about 2in by 3in. I only took a quick peak when I got it to make sure it worked and will be using it at a later date.

I think you will have to mount it below your tv because if I remember correctly the bracket holes on the speaker will be further apart than the VESA mounting holes on a tv.

Track your heart rate and exercise with this Garmin GPS watch. It has activity profiles installed to help you plan workouts, and it's water-resistant up to 100m for swimming. This Garmin GPS watch has a battery life of 14 days in smart watch mode so you can wait longer between charges.
 

Does this watch have the step counter function?

Yes. Has a step counter and when you reach your goal it notifies you. I have walked with this looking at my watch and the steps are right on count. Pretty cool and I don't know how it does it because when I am looking at it I am not swinging my arms but the count is in step.
