I have looked for something to monitor my home for a while. To be honest I would prefer a different system, but they require wiring to each camera. Yes I’m being lazy (work in IT and have pulled too many cables myself). I liked the idea of being wireless, but it comes with some limitations. The batteries last about 2 months roughly depending on your setup and activity. Some have lasted a little longer, so that part is pretty good. I bought two spare batteries and charger. This helps speed up the process vs bringing them in, charging them, then putting them back up. When using the “wireless” or without power cord it has limitations. You can’t use the feature of focusing on movement in part of the viewing area only or zoning. No continuous recording without power. You will need to realign the cameras when puttting them back (battery swap), which isn’t bad. Video quality is pretty good. You can set rules, say if the front door detects motion, it records the driveway at the same time and etc. I’m not a big fan of “cloud” based recording due to privacy. They do offer two USB slots for attaching a thumb drive or external drive. You can only view content from the USB drives by removing them from the base and using your computer. At least you have a backup if the Internet goes down and or is cut off. You can’t turn off the cloud based recording, unless you disconnect the Internet or block it. If you do this, then you defeat the ability to remote monitor/control cameras/settings. This probably sounds a little on the critical side, but all in all its not a bad system, just not my ideal setup.

Researched different brands and choose this one. Several of the doctors offices I visit use this brand and the reviews were good. Unit is easy to use and I like that is sync’s with my phone (readings). It has the ability to store readings for 2 people separately. I’ve been able to export and print the readings, which I take to the doctors office. It will sync with Apple Health app, but that takes a little work to export. I’ve had it about 2 months, but no issues as of yet. Quality construction and pumps the cuff without having to do it by hand.

Replaced a HP 62xx model inkjet with this unit. This is the first laserjet for home. Unless your printing pictures, lasers typically are less cost to operate. I've scanned some pictures/documents and they were good quality. Printed out letters (b/w and color) and look good and speed was good. I haven't really worked it too much, since I've only had it a month. I've been wanting a laserjet and prefer physical/Ethernet connections. The eprint is nice though for printing from my phone and tablet. Seems to be a good value for the features and cost.

I had the K350 and worked well for several years, but the keys started sticking etc. This unit has less of a foot print and the keys have a more solid feel. It allows for you to customize it several ways (keys and function keys). I use it primarily on my laptop, but have my iPhone and second laptop paired to it. It's nice to have one keyboard and mouse for several devices. I've had it about a month and would recommend it.

Purchased a Bose Soundbar 300, sub, and surround speakers. Having this attached to our Wave Radio makes it fairly easy to have music everywhere. The setup wasn't too hard. If you have steaming services (Amazon Music, Spotify, etc) there are presets on the remote and or app. Being wireless its easy to place nearly anywhere.

I've had the QC3 headphones since they come out. I really liked them and still work great. My iPhone 7 Plus doesn't have a headphone jack, which really interested me. Not having a cord to worry about tangling up is very helpful. I'm on call and use my work cell (Samsung S8+ currently). Having freedom to work without hold the phone or the cord being the way makes things easier.
* I haven't used the Google Assistant feature yet
* Great sound even with it being Bluetooth vs cord
* Very comfortable to wear for long periods
* Buttons/controls work and easy to use while wearing

I had the 32 pin older model for my iPad 3rd Gen. I have the Pro 9.7 now and needed the lightening model. I use it for reviewing my trail cams and camera cards. Easier to review pictures vs using the computer. Works as is it should, only reason for 4 stars is the cost.

We just bought a house where there is a hard wired speaker system throughout the house. The rca plugs are in the living room next to the cable. Would this product work for making the system wireless?
You typically use this product when you don't have wiring. If your wanting to stream music from (Amazon Music, Spotify, etc) to the speaker it does that. It also has an aux 3mm input for MP3 player or cell phone and etc. I have a Bose Wave radio connected to it and my house is about 1500sq ft, so the wireless does fine. The one thing to check on is the speakers, this unit may not have enough wattage to push all of them. If you go from a stereo/receiver it may have enough to push it. Without knowing a few things I would say investigate a little more. You have to factor in the number of speakers, type speaker wire, and distance from the source. I didn't want to sell you on something and it not work. If you have more info or questions let me know.
