Solid SSD for upgrade.
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: scottxray
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought 4 of these to upgrade my pcs from spinning hard drives. Good solid SSD drive with great specs and speed, price avg for the drive . Migration software is also a great feature. However I had one Lenovo AIO pc that no matter what I tried the cloned drive would not boot . But an old I7 1st gen that was taking 4-5 minutes to boot now is booting and capable of running any app in about 45 seconds.

Proudly American, Night Owl is excited to offer our U.S. designed and engineered 1080p HD Wi-Fi IP Camera(s) with Built-In Motion-Activated Spotlights, Human Detection Technology, and 2-Way Audio. The bright spotlight activates when it senses human motion, stopping trespassers in their tracks. Human Detection reduces false alerts to your Smart Device, while Facial Capture takes a snapshot of a person~s face and sends you a real-time alert. 2-Way Audio lets you record sound and use the virtual intercom feature to hear what~s happening and to talk through the camera(s). These weather-resistant indoor/outdoor camera(s) use Color Night Vision to continue recording in full-color in low-light settings, only switching to Night Vision if necessary. Night Vision up to 100 ft. and wide-angle viewing provides extreme coverage for your home or business.

New NVR cam
on November 7, 2020
Posted by: scottxray
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the extension camera for the new 10 camera AC powered nvr. The camera has a good picture at 1080P As in my review of the nvr the software for the new system is still being developed. The software seems to generate a lot of false alerts even when the motion detection box for sensing is UNchecked. Any movement then seems to be identified as a human, but without any person in view. that needs to be corrected.

Worked great in my older lexus as the interface for a sirius onyx sat radio. apparently also works to interface your phone to cars that have no bluetooth, but that was not my use.

Average small bookshelf
on November 2, 2020
Posted by: scottxray
Verified Purchase:Yes
Added these to my Onkyo 7.1 channel system after getting new 4k tv. All my other speakers are polk and these ended up configured as front wide channels since my receiver does not do atmos. I will replace with a 9.1 receiver when they become more available next year and these will be front atmos then. My current receiver lets me choose whether to use Rear surrounds or these depending on my preference ( the receiver actually has 11 channel speakers connections configurable to which seven are used by source). .
Tone was not a great match for my R50s and response output was low with frequency cutoff of 120hz.

Easy sirius auto kit
on November 2, 2020
Posted by: scottxray
Verified Purchase:Yes
Simple sirius system with car kit. Added it to my 2008 Lexus RX without any real difficulty. Running the antenna cable to the console from the roof was hardest. Did not place on the rear roof , and had solid signal in front anyway. Had to add a cassette interface as the Lexus has no aux in. Best buy matched the Amazon price. I switched my account from another vehicle instead of taking the offerred one.

developing system that will probably be good .
on November 2, 2020
Posted by: scottxray
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is Nightowls newest system. I have an older NO system at my AZ house that has worked flawlessly for 5 years so I gave this a try. The software for this is still being developed and has some bugs but it does work and the quality is good. The cameras being ac powered means you will not have batteries that fail or need replacing ( my main reason to avoid most other systems). Needing AC does limit placement some and the power blocks for the do not appear to be outdoor compliant, so you will need to keep them in covered outlet boxes.
Once installed it seems to work well. I will say that the Apple software is pretty useless . My Ipad was unable to see alerts or configure the system at all, even after I set it up on android as working. However My Android tablet and phone work well.
The setup document that comes in the box is flat out wrong and using your tablet or phone you will NOT be able to pair the cameras with the system. I tried to follow it for nearly two hours and constantly failed to achieve a working system. I installed and repaired electronics for 40+ years and am quite computer literate. The document leads you down the wrong path.
To correctly set it up you MUST use the connection to a local monitor via hdmi, the mouse provided, and then pair the cameras using that interface. The pairing instructions say to have the cameras within 8 feet of the NVR and on the same power supply. Using the video out and mouse on the nvr to configure it works. Trying to do that with your tablet/phone fails to pair the cameras (after you establish your account).
I added one extra camera to my system and it does allow up to ten cameras. That would probably be overload for the 1 tb drive.
The alerts and other setup areas are still in developement so they are a bit inconsistent. The software should get better over time.

I downgrade a star for the poor instructions and software bugs still being worked out. recommended IF you are using android. Avoid for now if IOS user.

Demo unit that failed after 3 hours.

Unfortunately the Tv worked for 3 hours and then after I went to dinner and returned, would never turn on. I had to return it. As it was a demo unit there were no others, so it was not repurchased.

great basic hdtv for kitchen or garage

The insignia firetv I bought is working really well. I installed it on my patio under cover to show tv while sitting at the table there. The nice thing about the fire tv is that it also gets all my streaming channels and Amazon music too, so we can watch or listen to music while having some wine or playing cards. The tuner is very sensitive as I am picking up all the local tv channels with a simple one lead rabbit ear type antennae.

Change your entertainment game! The U7 series smart display from Hisense is packed with lots of exciting features that dramatically improve your watching and playing experience. Think: Mini-LED Pro, QLED Quantum Dot color technology and 144Hz Game Mode Pro. Plus, we even equipped the U7 with a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner and Wi-Fi 6E router compatibility, making it virtually future-proof.

Where does this new U7N stand in comparison to the old-ish U8K, I was gonna grab the U8K but doesn't seem to be available through best buy anymore, and the newer U8N is a tad too expensive. Will this U7N be work it over the older U8K?
U8K has better brightness and contrast over the U7N, and will likely outperform it due to the K receiving software and firmware updates that bring it close to the U8N . The U7N
cannot match the U8K in brightness and contrast. the 75" version of both sets might have similar contrast and the U7N has a newer control set for better performance than the 8K or 7K.

What type of screen is in the 75” model (VA,IPS,ADS) and what is the contrast ratio?
