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.

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.

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.

How long does the fully charged battery last?

Battery life will obviously vary depending on how you use it (what settings you have on) but I can get a good two days if I wanted.

Instead, I'll charge it first thing in the morning when I'm getting ready. The battery percentage will be around 45% - 55%. With the faster charging, it'll hit 100% (or close to it) by the time I'm ready to head out the door.

I couldn't do this with the Galaxy Watch 4 since I not only had the smaller watch but all models had smaller batteries and charged slower.

Cell phone batteries never last long enough, and it makes phone charging throughout the day a chore. Trying to find and connect the right cable in the right direction can be frustrating. The Insignia NS-MWPC10KTP 10 W Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad for Android/iPhone (2 Pack) makes charging fast and easy. Just place your smartphone, tablet or other Qi-compatible device on the pad when you need extra power. Its wireless, low-profile design eliminates cumbersome cords and offers versatile placement options. The LED indicator shows the charge status of your device, and a 4 ft. charge cable and USB adapter power your charging pad. This 2-pack lets you place wireless chargers wherever you need them most.
 

Do I have to remove my iPhone 11 from the life proof case?

Not sure about the Life Proof case but I charge my iPhone SE with a wallet case (holds two cards)

Hello! Is there an installation video available for this particular model?

Below is the link for the install video from Google.

https://youtu.be/ftnHYUW2lrE

It's nice that they FINALLY posted it publicly. Before installing mine, I search YouTube and didn't find it. It wasn't until I scanned the QR Code when connecting it through Google Home that I saw the video.

Does the floodlight have an option to stay lit? For example if you are in the back yard does it have a stay on option?

You can turn on the lights and even dim them through the Google Home App. I haven't left them on for very long but I'm certain they'll stay on until you turn them off.

In the picture I've attached, you can see the Camera and Flood Lights (labeled Pool) separate. If you click on the camera, it brings up the camera view. Depending on where you click on the Light, it either turns on the lights or brings up the option to turn to it to all certain percentage.

Wonder if this works with a dimmer switch. My old floodlight is installed with a dimmer switch now. so curious if this works with dimmer as well.

I doubt it will work with a dimmer.

You can however dim the floodlights through the Google Home App.

Thx 4 clarifying that HOME Speaker WON'T notify if FloodLight/Camera/Motion is activated. You said NEST DoorBell WILL notify thru Home Speaker? Is it only if doorbell is pressed? Or will Google Home Speaker also notify if MOTION detected by NEST DoorBell?

The Nest Hello (doorbell) will only notify you through the Google/Nest Speakers when the doorbell is pressed.

The rest of the time, you'll get a regular Nest Notification.
