Love Nintendo Online

Verified Purchase:Yes
While others may comment on how NIntendo's Online services are lacking when compared to Xbox/PlayStation, I am quite happy with it.
I LOVE being able to play the old NES and SNES games I grew up with. Since the SNES was the last Nintendo home console I owned, I hadn't played these games in over 20 years. Best part is they are included with the subscription rather than having to buy them individually like with previous systems.

We watched this movie at a Dolby Atmos theater so we already knew it was a great movie. Unfortunately, even though this is a Sony movie, the audio is neutered much like Disney Movies. This means that it does not sound as great as at the theater even though we have a pretty decent home theater set-up. However, just like with Disney Movies, we just bumped up the dB.
As for the movie itself, we enjoy Super Hero movies so we of course moved this one. In fact, I'd say we liked it better than Home Coming.

Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera (2 pack). It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.

Great cameras, not so great mounts.

Verified Purchase:Yes
We bought these last month to replace a pair of TP-Link Kasa Cameras. Those worked well but not for our use case.
We went with these cameras over getting more IQ Outdoor Cameras (we own two) for the following reasons:
* Around half the price.
* We didn't need as good as quality or zoom as the IQ cams provide.
* We would easily be able to hide the wire/tuck it in nicely where we installed them.
*We don't care for nor use the IQ features on our IQ cams.
Since these replaced the TP-Link Kasa Cams, it's nice being able to view my four cameras through one app.
We have one camera placed to watch the walk way to our front door and the door itself. The other we have placed to watch the walk way to our gate leading to the backyard. The image quality of these cameras are adequate for these two places. I don't think I'd be happy with them for the front (where we have the IQ cams).

Mighty. Smart.Nest Cam IQ is a seriously sharp outdoor security camera. It has brains to tell you when it sees a person and Supersight to show you an extra clear close-up tracking shot of who's there. It can even recognize familiar faces with Nest Aware.

Great cameras!
on October 3, 2019
Posted by: Sammy
Verified Purchase:Yes
We bought two of these about a month ago to place in front of the house. I considered the regular outdoor Nest Cameras but for the front of the house, we wanted the best image possible.
Before these (and the regular Nest Outdoor cameras), we tried Arlo Cameras. While they were much easier to mount, I was not happy with the delay in recording and not so great two way audio.
Back to the Nest IQ cams...
One of several reasons we went with the Nest IQ Outdoor camera was the "hidden" wire. Since they are mounted a bit high, we weren't worried about having someone cut the wires, we mostly just didn't want them to be visible.
Another reason why we went with the IQ cams was the better quality image/video. While the picture is great, I am disappointed that unless you "set" the digital zoom, when you zoom in on either alive feed or recorded one, the quality is not as great. Essentially, if you want something to be clearer, you need to zoom in before hand (and set it) instead of being able to zoom in and out as you please.
For example, if a car is parked across the street of my house, I can zoom in on the license plate but it'll appear blurry. Now if I set the zoom, it'll clear/clean up the image but now the area being recorded is smaller.
We also purchased the regular Nest Outdoor Cameras and while they are much cheaper (around half), these are noticeably better.
All in all, we are happy with our purchase of the Nest IQ Outdoor cameras.

One of my favorite movies.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been wanting to add this movie to my collection but since it has been available on Netlfix or Hulu for a while, I never got around to buying it.
When I heard it was getting released on UHD, I decided to buy it. However, I wasn't big on it being full price so I decided to wait until it went on sale.
I have not watched this in quite some time so I can't compare the UHD version to regular Blu Ray but I can say that I noticed the overhead effects.
I love that like most new releases, it came with a Blu Ray disc and digital copy.

Great Movie but had an issue with Dolby Atmos.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw this movie when it first released on Blu Ray. Since I'm now building up my UHD Blu Ray collection, I decided to get this movie. I was really looking forward to hearing the Atmos effects but for some reason or another, it kept cutting out from the very beginning of the movie.
I switched to DTS and it no longer cut out. Thankfully my receiver has DTS Neural X so I was still able to get effects from my overhead speakers.

Great headphones!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was tired of ear buds so I decided to get some over the ear headphones. I tried these out since they reminded me of the Sony Pulse Elite headphones that came out for the PS3.
I'm glad I did because they produce bass in the same way. This means that I can wear them for hours without getting a headache from the low frequencies.
I use them wired with my PS4 and wireless for the gym. They sound great for both uses and I haven't had any issues with them.

Pretty Good & Practical Cam

Much better than the PS4 camera records in 4K so it’s definitely a good peripheral to be more interactive online. Affordable so you can stream via twitch or YouTube with no issue.

Nest Cam with floodlight has built-in intelligence that can tell the difference between a person, a vehicle, and an animal. It alerts you when there~s important activity,* and lights up automatically so you can see what~s happening. With 24/7 live view and free event video history, you never miss a thing, day or night. Swap out your existing basic floodlight and use the same wires for power. Nest Cam with floodlight requires the Google Home app and a Google Account ~ it~s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.
 

What does it mean when it says: Camera Power Source Hard wired, Battery-powered Can the Nest Camera Floodlight operate on battery only?

The Flood Light Camera is the same as the New Nest outdoor Battery Camera. The camera plugs into the flood light mount with a magnetic port underneath the camera. The battery will power the camera if your electricity goes out.

The attached pictures aren't mine but they will hopefully help you understand my description.

Hi. A few questions: 1. Is this camera viewable in the Nest App or only on Google Home? 2. Is the live stream ‘always on’ or does it need to be activated? 3. Does this camera plug in or do you need a junction box? 4. When is it available? Thanks.

1) Only Google Home.

2) Not sure what you mean by activated. I am subscribed to Nest Aware and thus my cameras record 24/7. I can also live stream it as quickly as the app loads.

3) You have to hard wire it but you don't need a junction box. I however found it easier to mount and install it with one.

4) Now.

What kind of bulbs are included?

The lights are LED. Since they are behind a frosted like lens, you can't see the actual LEDs.

Why is this product not compatible with the Nest app? I track all my Nest devices easily in the Nest app and avoid using Google Home because it is cumbersome and requires many more steps to do what the Nest app does quickly. Please advise if fix is coming

One App to rule them all, One App to find them, One App to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them!

It's rumored that Google will eventually get rid of the Nest App and everything will need to be controlled through the Google Home app. They did this with Google WiFi and it seems they are doing it with Nest.

Are the floodlights LED?

Yes they are LED.

To me, they seem closer to warm white than daylight white.

If or when will this be offered in black?

It's very unlikely that Google will offer this camera in black. They seem to LOVE their bright white products!

Off the top of my head, I can only think one black Nest camera; the original Nest indoor camera. Unless I'm mistaken, those were from before Google Bought Nest.

Is the camera in a fixed position or can it be moved from the app? I understand it is wide angle but there are times I would like to move the direction of the camera to look at a different position quickly and remotely.

You can reposition the actual camera but only manually. It mounts to the spotlight with a (strong) magnet.

Enjoy a seamless, wireless experience with a headset fine-tuned for 3D Audio on PS5 consoles. The PULSE 3D wireless headset features a refined design with dual noise-cancelling microphones, built-in rechargeable battery, and an array of easy-access controls.
 

Is this headset required to experience the 3D sound? Will you be able to experience the 3D sound from home theater surround sound speakers? What about PS4 surround sound headsets, like from Turtle Beach?

Sony has been pretty vague but you'll be able to get 3D sound from any wired headphones. These however will give you 3D sound wirelessly.

As for 3D sound from a home theater system, Mark Cerny spoke about that a while back. If I remember correctly, he said that initially, 3D sound would only be available through headphones. Later down the line they hope/want to make it available for TV speakers and of course home theater systems.
