I’ve never owned a camera security system, as they always seemed complicated to use. However, the Arlo Pro Security System 2 Camera Kit was very easy to setup. The 2 camera kit includes a receiver (think of an internet router-like device) that connects to your modem. From there, the quick-read instructions ask you to download an app to your mobile device. The app offers step by step instructions on how to sync your cameras. After syncing the cameras, you can go and install them anywhere you like. I am not much of a handyman when it comes to using power tools. That was what kept me from getting any security system. Luckily, tools were not needed, for the cameras are magnetic and the location where I installed them had plenty of metal for them to stick on their own. However, it does come with two mounts that you can use if you need them to be aimed at a certain angle.
One of the best features of this product is the ability to observe any motion from your mobile device. Within seconds, I started to detect motion after installation. I tested it with several family members to check if the notifications on my phone were working, and they worked flawlessly after an update required from the cameras and the receiver. One of the best features that I didn’t know it had was a microphone that comes with each camera. While away from home, the camera will notify me of someone near my home. If I want to communicate with them, I can through the mobile app. I hold a microphone icon and they can hear what I say from anywhere that I am. On top of that, the batteries in the cameras last a long time. They also come pre-charged, making it very easy to use right out of the box.
To test out the performance of the cameras, I turned off my WiFi and was on my LTE network (Sprint, if you want to know). The cameras were clearly visible on cell phone internet. The clarity was actually quite outstanding. On the third day after installing them, we had rain and strong winds. The cameras, being magnetic, worried me. However, they withstood the weather and further strengthened my faith in the product.
This product more than meets my expectations. At first, I was slightly discouraged to know that there was a monthly plan to subscribe to. However, a free option is available. The plans are as follows:
Basic (Free)
7 Days of Cloud Recordings
(Up to 1GB Cloud storage)
Up to 5 cameras
Limited Support for 3 Months
Premier
30 Days of Cloud Recordings
(Up to 10GB Cloud storage)
Up to 10 cameras
Unlimited Support
MONTHLY $9.99
ANNUAL $99
($20 SAVINGS)
Elite
60 Days of Cloud Recordings
(Up to 100GB Cloud storage)
Up to 15 cameras
Unlimited Support
MONTHLY AT $14.99
ANNUAL AT $149
($30 SAVINGS)
For most people, the basic (free) plan would suffice, as many won’t need more than 5 cameras per home. If you want to add another camera from the 2 camera starter package, it currently costs 189.99 to add another one. The product offers a great value for the price because on top of the plans that are offered for cloud storage, you can connect a USB External hard drive. Via the APP, you can reformat the hard drive and all of your videos can be stored locally instead of on the cloud. This way, you can either have a backup of the cloud videos or just keep your own log without relying on the cloud storage.
Though the price may deter some people from getting this product, I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for more security for their homes. The alternative choices are usually more expensive because of higher monthly fees elsewhere, whereas this product has a free option. The applications are quite numerable. Some people use it to monitor their pets while others keep an eye on their younger ones. Overall, the price you pay is more than worth it for a better peace of mind.

Phillips Norelco 7000 Series
I didn't expect a difference between my Philips Multi-groom series and the 7000 series. In my mind, all the tools that came with it look identical and can't possibly offer anything that it's cheaper counterpart offers. However, after trying the Phillips Norelco 7000 Series for the first time, it felt like night and day.
The first tool that I used was the shaving tool. It's meant to replace a razor blade. Now, I own the Phillips Norelco Power Touch Dry Electric Razor (has 3 circle blades) and though inlike it, it doesn't give me a close shave and it pinches my skin. However, the 7000 gives me a very close shave and it feels smooth on my skin. It glides effortlessly without using shaving cream or shaving butter, which is what I prefer. That alone was what made this shaver a keeper.
I tried all the tools. The nose trimmer works as expected, but the other tools included where a groin/body shaver tool and a beard trimmer/detailer. Things would shave where I was expecting without having to do guess work. The smoothness previously mentioned applied to all shaved areas, and I tried them all.
As a bonus, it comes with a bag to store everything in and lubricant to maintain your shaver. The charge time is around 4-6 hours but there's an indicator of how long you have to wait before it's fully charged.
Other than the on button, there's a button below it that speeds up the blades movement, refining the hair that it's cutting. This helps when sending hair down the drain, as it will cause it to clog less.
Though hesitating, I did try it in the shower too. It's claim for it to be shower proof we're confirmed.
Truly, this will replace my two Philips Norelco products and on most occasions, my razor blade. The simulated razor blade is great, but I don't think any electric shaver can ever beat an actually blade. This one gets you pretty close helps if you are in a hurry. Because the shave is close, but not as close as a razor blade, I recommend this product as a 4/5 star product.

I have come to trust the LinkSys brand to the point where it is my goto brand when needing a new router or recommending one.
Setting up the Router was easy. It is practically plug and play. Inside the box you will find several discs which I didn't need to insert to install the router. Immediately, my computer recognized the signal being broadcast (which comes preprogrammed from LinkSys) and I input the password that came inside a small foldout card. The router was recognized and I had signal. Reading the same foldout card and following 4 simple steps, I went to the LinkSys website which allowed the router to update automatically and permitted me to change the name of the signal and assign it a password I can remember.
Set up took under 5 minutes, including updating the router and renaming it. Before setup is over, you will be asked to create a Smart LinkSys account. It's an optional step, but I highly recommend it, as it allows you to monitor your network away from home, set up Guest Passwords, and even create your own Cloud Drives with USB external hard drives. I was able to set up the my personal cloud as a test, though I don't plan on using the feature myself, it does work and it's just as fast as anything you would pay monthly for. My home is a two story home and my router is set up in the second floor, where I do most of my gaming/work. I always have trouble getting WiFi in the kitchen, which is downstairs. This router permitted me to have a good signal in my kitchen and I am satisfied. It is nice that you can choose which band you want to use for what devices. For example, I use my gaming consoles on the 5 Ghz network while my families phones and tablets are on the 2.4 Ghz. Overall, this is a great router to have as an an upgrade.

This monitor is a great addition to my PC. It only displays in 1080, so it is not a 4K monitor, but the visual fidelity is astounding. I enjoy watching movies from Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime video services in 1080P. I also like that the screen size is not too obtrusive around my desk area, which is limited. When opening games, I have a beautiful image through and through. I even had a clear image when streaming games from my Xbox One, but that may be more related to my internet speed.
Assembling the monitor was a breeze. No tools were required to connect the stand to the monitor, and I had it up and working in less than 5 minutes.
Another thing that I enjoy about the monitor is that it doesn't hurt my eyes in low lighting. When I turn off my computer, the monitor goes automatically into standby mode which is important because I have it in my bedroom.
It does have an HDMI port, which is what most modern computers come with as a standard connection now-a-days, so that was helpful. I really enjoy using this monitor.

I took my time using this computer making sure that it met my daily needs. I am a teacher, but I focus a lot of my time with technology, as that is the trend in the world of education. That being said, I tested this out with programs I use often, like Google Class, Google Slides, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Nearpod, Kahoot, and other online services. Right out of the gate, I noticed it's focus on speed. It was amazing working with a computer whose priority is making you more efficient.
For home use, I tested Netflix and other streaming apps. All apps worked as expected and even connected easily with my Chromecast to the TV, which is a plus. I deducted 1 star because when I tried running Netflix, the sound would come through for music but I couldn't hear the voices on some shows. I had to search into the computer functions and the problem was that the audio drivers needed to be updated. After that, it worked seamlessly, but nothing prompt up to update the drivers. It's not that difficult to do, but if you don't know where to go to do that, then you may have to search on YouTube how to access those files.
Speaking of audio, one of the benefits of this computer is that it has deep sounds. Though I did plug it into my sound bar with subwoofer, I noticed that without it, it was just fine. After multiple set-ups in various locations, I decided to keep it as my home computer where it will get the most use.
Some bonuses that this computer includes are a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard that don't require you to plug in any additional dongle. The computer recognizes it immediately. It also comes with a free yearly subscription to Microsoft Office 365, which does require internet to activate. Overall, I am satisfied with this product and I do recommend it's purchase.

At first glance, you might be afraid of it's retail sticker price. However, let me tell you that you will be glad that you got this Tri-Band Wifi system with its own satellite extender.
Ease of use:
For starters, I rarely see a product that is as easy to have up and running as this Netgear Orbi was. Out of the box, things may look complicated because of the various components to it. However, there is a trifold pamphlet with easy to follow instructions. It was set up within 7 minutes of unboxing.
After all items were connected (one Wifi Router and One Satellite receiver, or extender), the instructions ask you to go to a website. I used my mobile phone, which was a plus for me because I didn't need to go for my computer. My mobile phone was enough to finish setup, which took an additional 3 minutes.
Does it work as advertised?
The product works as advertised. I had previously attempted to use a Linksys WiFi extender, which didn't work out so well for my needs. I have a two story home and my WiFi router is installed upstairs, where I game. I needed an extension to my kitchen area, downstairs, in what used to be a garage. There are plenty of think walls for signal to get to my kitchen. However, I installed the second satellite (serves as an extender) next to my kitchen area and it worked like a charm. The signal strength picked up with full WiFi bars and I was able to stream Netflix and all other video streaming services that I subscribe too.
Overall, I am extremely happy to have received this product and I don't think I can ever go back to not having something like this around.

For a long time now, I have wanted to get a bagless vacuum specifically for pets. I've had my previous vacuum, one that requires a bag, for over 8 years. I didn't quite trust bagless vacuums but after finding this Bissell that was for pets, I decided it was a good time to try it out.
I own an indoor cat and an outdoor dog that's allowed to come in at night. I first tested out the vacuum in the room where the dog sleeps when he is indoors, which is actually just a closet. Visually, I couldn't tell that the dog was shedding inside. After using the vacuum, I was amazed at how much hair it had picked up after a few passes. I moved on to the living room, where the cat frequents. Again, I immediately noticed how much hair was being picked up as well as dirt. Compared to my old vacuum, this is a big jump in technology and as an indoor pet owner, it has converted me to trust bagless vacuums.
The compartment is large enough that I don't have to dump it out too often if I do the occasional room. I'd like it a little larger, but it's not much to complain about for my needs. The additional tools for hard to reach areas make it a breeze to vacuum the stairs. The cord plug itself is just right for all my house connections and doesn't interfere much. Overall, I am glad to own another Bissell product, the first being a carpet washer. It's quickly becoming a trusted home brand amongst my family.

Pros:
This little device does marvels for extending the WiFI range to areas of your home where normally you would lose signal. There is an app that comes with it that allows you to find the perfect place to put your WiFi extender so that you know how to plug it in. The device itself is plug and play and the setup was very simple. I was up and running within 2 minutes after unboxing it.
The Cons:
Although it did extend my WiFi range to areas of the house that I wanted, it worked for certain things but not for everything. I wanted to use the device to stream video on from my phone or tablet in my kitchen, which is far from my router's location. Though I did have a strong signal, the video would constantly pixelate while playing. However, when streaming music, I had no problem using the extender. I also had no problem using the extender to try websites and browse applications in general.
This has been my experience with the device and I think I will use it mostly to stream music where WiFi normally doesn't reach. Just don't expect great video streaming from it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The extender's purpose is to extend WiFi to dead zones (areas where the WiFi doesn't reach) in your home. In my case, I have my modem/router installed upstairs, where I spend most of the time. Downstairs, in my kitchen area, I occasionally get signal, but it's weak and will intermittently switch between my WiFi and the LTE network of my mobile devices. The extender was installed closer to my kitchen area to provide a stronger signal. Though the extender did successfully amplify my signal to the kitchen, it came at the expense of reduced quality when streaming video, which is why I wanted an extender to begin with. It works fine when browsing websites that aren't as demanding of WiFi.
Because the product works, I give it an average score of 3 out of 5 stars. However, due to the reduced quality of streaming video services (watch my included video to see the difference) I knock it down two stars.

User submitted video
What's great about it: Noticeable speed increase, Fast Set-up, User Friendly
What's not so great: Accessing external hard drive not easily explained.
This is a great router for people who are streaming or gaming in one household using 6+ devices.
SETUP
The setup is extremely fast, user friendly, requires no PC or Mac connection, and can even be done with your smartphone.
FEATURES
Hassle free options to select specific devices to be priority without messing with port #s. Xbox Live and PSN network are options already in the router as well as many online PC games. WiFi strength is apparent and it gets rid of lag while streaming multiple devices at the same time.
CONS
This is only a con if you plan on creating a cloud storage using an external hard drive. Within the Linksys website or app, I couldn't find access to my files remotely. I needed to find the answer in another site, posted on the YouTube video provided.
LAST WORDS
Strongly recommend this for gamers and heavy streamers. It will not disappoint you.

Does this work for Xbox? The older version did

They do work with Xbox because of the included auxiliary cable. However, you won't be able to take advantage of the customization EQ options from a PC. That being said, if you have an Xbox and Dolby Atmos, then you are in for quite an experience.

I need a web cam for a presentation for a a showing on Facebook. The web cam will be on a screen from a projector going to Facebook live. Would this be the web cam to get or should I get a different one?

If your camera will be aiming at a screen projector, then make sure that the room is dark and that the lighting in your room doesn't change much change much. Use the software to turn off the automatic focus features and as long as people don't walk in front of the camera, it should be fine. Though this is possible, it is not the ideal way to show something on facebook that requires people to look at what's being projected. Might I suggest you look into OBS, a free streaming software. With OBS, you should have the ability to stream to FACEBOOK and switch back and forth between the WebCam feed and the presentation, meaning that the people watching on Facebook will see the clearest presentation because it's as if they were there in the same room with you. Depending on how much time you have to learn OBS, you may have to use the Webcam the way you want for now, but try OBS for a future presentation. You will love it.

Can I use an external microphone with this camera? If so can you tell me how?

I use it with OBS and in that software, you can use the camera but change to a different microphone. All you have to do is mute the camera's microphone (it the camera settings in OBS, you'll have that option) and plug the microphone you want to use and make sure it isn't muted.
