Arlo - Smart Home Indoor/Outdoor Wireless High-Definition Security Cameras (4-Pack) - White/Black
Safeguard your home or business with this 4-pack of motion-activated NETGEAR Arlo Smart Home VMS3430-100NAS security cameras, which enables you to capture 720p video footage both during the day and at night.
Easy to install and setup monitoring system
Customer Rating
5.0
I purchased this to monitor a home with the cameras mounted outdoors. After figuring out how to set up the cameras (they must be right next to the router when paring cameras) the set up process was easy but time consuming. Installation of the cameras was straightforward placing or screwing in a mount. In only one location was I able to utilize the magnetic button mount, for two others I needed to buy the $19.95 mounting stem. The fourth one I set on a wall but would have rather installed on a pole but there is no clamp mounting option. As to its performance you can see people coming and going but the resolution is not exactly high definition. If you want to be able to positively identify someone, it will be better if you have two cameras monitoring a location, perhaps one close up and the second farther away. One note is the batteries. They are expensive and you will be replacing them every two months or less. Buy an extra set for $60 when you get your system.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: clarity, noise reduction, comfort, build quality, customer service
What's not so great: the microphone doesn't always point forward
People are often hesitant to buy these headphones because they look so simple for the price. Do not hesitate. They are well worth the cost. I do see Bose cut the price of the 20i by $20.
If you're at all hard of hearing, as most men are, the Bose 20i will transform your mobile phone experience.
These headphones do not fall out of your ear. With their fantastic clarity you can listen at a much lower volume. I have never been unable to hear a caller or had trouble understand the spoken word on podcasts.
I accidentally tore one of the silicone ear tips (totally my fault). I called customer service, they mailed me two new sets immediately.
The only issue is the microphone does not always lay pointing away from my neck as the Apple ear buds do. This is because the microphone and controls are located further down the wire. The solution is to clip the wire to your shirt when this becomes a problem. It is not a big problem, just something that does not happen with the Apple.
Buy these headphones. If you have any issues with hearing, these are your best answer. I highly recommend them.

Apple - iPad® Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular - 32GB - (AT&T)
iPad® Air is 20 percent thinner1 and weighs just one pound, so it feels unbelievably light in your hand.

A huge improvement over earlier models

What's great about it: speed, screen quality, size and weight
What's not so great: very slow to charge
I upgraded from an iPad 1 with AT&T. The lighter weight is immediately noticeable, less so the smaller size. I have to put them next to each other to notice. The reason I upgraded was the speed and for the retina display. The first generation was no longer being supported so I was stuck with iOS 5. There were some bugs that cropped up with the Safari browser with the final iOS update, causing the iPad to crash. These have been widely reported. Apple did not take the effort to fix them. I guess it was upgrade or deal with slow response and repeated crashing. Having had it for two years I did not feel Apple stood behind their product for very long.
Anyway, this iPad Air is fantastic. It operates smoothly without crashing. the LTE downloads quickly, just like my iPhone 5 which I had often turned to when my old iPad couldn't handle the job.
If you have been waiting to upgrade, this is a huge step up from any of the older models. The only thing you may not like is the very long charging time required. I also don't feel the battery lasts quite as long.

What's great about it: Sharp screen for large spreadsheets
What's not so great: No mini display port to display port cable
I bought this to use with my late 2013 13" MacBookPro Retina. Rather than spend the extra $500 for the 15" MBP, I spent $700 (with a tripod floor stand) for a 2713HM and went with the easier to carry 13". I am sure glad I did. Note: I was only able to get 2560 x 1440 resolution using a mini display port to display port cable. HDMI and VGA only took me to 1900 which was noticeably fuzzy. I didn't try DVI, which I understand, doesn't do it either.
I am able to display a full page word document in the left 40% of the screen and two browser windows arranged upper and lower, on the right. I can also display a large spreadsheet in a window and still have room for email or a video. It looks amazing and I can work for hours without fatigue.
This product has... Easy to setup, No speakers

Can you select the area of motion detection on the SW? Meaning I could select the space the camera would detect motion like around my front door but not the street?
The camera’s field of view determines what motion is detected. If you don’t want the street, you must be sure the street is not in the camera’s field of view. You can adjust the sensitivity of each camera individually so you may be able to have the camera not notice a car in the distance but notice a person walking right up to the camera.
