Love Nintendo Online
on November 10, 2019

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.
on August 12, 2019
Posted by: Sammy
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.

Is this device wireless as well?I want to use it outside with a speaker?How do I connect it?

It's wireless in the sense that it connected to your internet through WiFi. However, for power, it need to be plugged into an outlet.

I've seen a product, that is sold (on that very famous site owned by the richest person in the world) that acts as a power supply. It's like a docking station for the Mini that provides power for it and makes the Mini truly wireless. I don't have any experience with it so I can't comment as how well it works.

Will the home mini work with the nest video door bell?

Yes, this is one of many ways I use my Minis.

After setting them up, the Minis will alert you anytime someone rings your doorbell.

I need my nest iq outdoor cameras that I bought from you all installed. Who do you recommend?

You can enter your zip code in the link below for "certified" installers in your area.

https://nest.com/nest-pro-installation/

They'll likely be pricey but I simply went online and did a Google Search for Security camera installers and looked for some that specifically said they had installed Nest Cameras before.

Mine always have a red light when charging. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a green light. Maybe it turns green when they are fully charged but I've never noticed it.
