I did not want my outdoor cameras to be moved by the elements or malicious individuals. This mount provides a fixed base, a screw to hold the camera, and a very easy to use gimbal for aiming the camera.
It does not blend into the surrounding area well and sticks out quite far. For me this was a negative, but obviously others will like the length.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a very good camera with a very wide focusing range (from almost zero to infinity). Very wide field of view, limiting the number of cameras needed.
Easy to install and configure.
Unfortunately, it will not record directly to my SAN, but must first go to the Arlo website. It would be an excellent system if it did both.
The Arlo app is a bit confusing to use at times.
Batteries need to be recharged and placing the cameras in a high place makes battery changing difficult. This is the downside of a wireless camera.

These headphones are quite convenient for use on airplanes wireless with my iPhone or with the included audio cable with the airline's movies. Charges quickly with a USB charger and a standard USB cable. Many flights, many movies, much music.
Noise cancelling seems to me to be excellent. Could not tell any difference between them and Bose. Bose does not publish their numbers, so numerical comparisons cannot be done. Since Sony does publish their specs, I prefer Sony products over "trust me" types of advertising.

Purchased an SSD drive. The computer has a port, but no installed cable. This cable fit into the motherboard and the drive and was long enough to feed into the disk chassis. Worked first time.

Compact drive that holds a large amount of data. Instructions are available on how to format for use on Mac and PC. My only complaint is that the USB cable is custom to this drive, so losing or damaging it means going back to WD for replacement. WD should be using standard cables.

I do not use complex mouse functions, just left, right and scroll. I needed this to replace the mouse that failed in my keyboard-mouse combo pack, which is why I stayed with Logitech. It hooked to the existing receiver easily -- although I needed a second mouse to accomplish that.

Has been working quite well. I have a machine that does not hook to any of my computers and need to move large files frequently. Have moved hundreds of files flawlessly. Seems to work fast on my older computer.
I removed the security software as it is useless in this application.

I find it quite convenient to use the charger to charge a battery when the other is being used in the camera, or for evening recharging of both batteries (one at a time) instead of leaving the camera out.
