Replaced Samsung 40” that went bad. Good tv, does what it should. Goes with the 49” version I bought during the holidays. Vast array of apps available through their App Store. Plays well with LG sound bar for the most part, though sometimes loses the Bluetooth connection to it. Good internal speakers too, really the need for the sound bar only for the extra bass. I especially like the magic remote. I like that feature of all the LG TVs. Easy to just point what you need. Alexa included with the remote, but I’m more old school and don’t want to be talking to a tv, rather just point and click.

This is my 4th garmin gps unit dating back 15 years at least. They keep getting better. This one is particularly easy. Speak to it and it speaks back. Built in WiFi receiver means map updates are particularly easier than in years past. Used to download a program into a Windows pc, then register your device, download the application and updates to the pc, then install it to the gps for many hours. Now connect the gps to your wireless network, use your email address, you’re registered and the unit downloads the updates directly to itself. Simple. Directions are clear. If you take a different route, such as local road that you know is faster than what the gps recommends, the gps will modify its routes while you’re traveling and still get you there with minimal fuss. Older units would always say “make a u-turn” because they would never recognize your way as an alternative. Built in traffic and weather updates are very useful. Warnings of upcoming speed and school zones.

Easy to use, you put it where you want and the weights keep the gps in place. There is a locking mechanism to adjust which way the gps faces once you’ve found the ideal spot to place it, ball mount is universal for all garmin units dating back a decade or more.

Thought I could use this straight out of the box with my Galaxy S8 phone, but you need to use the micro to USB-c adapter to mate them up. Install the app called memory zone from the sandisk site and you’re good to go.

Friend was using a flip phone from Consumer Cellular. I offered her a chance to try out a smartphone so she could use Google maps to get around. So far she likes it as her first smartphone, though I do see some shortcomings as compared to the latest Samsung Galacy smartphones.

Increased my range by about 20 feet over my router coverage, though it was a little finicky in setting up. At first I thought it was a breeze, but on the 2nd day it lost the connection and I had to run the setup again by unplugging the unit, resetting the unit and then using the WPS button again to set up, since then it has not lost the connection even once.

Rick687's Questions
Rick687 has not submitted any questions.
The Frigidaire 10,000 BTU 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner keeps your home cool and comfortable when and where you need it. Enjoy more cooling flexibility with two different fan speeds plus dehumidifying Dry Mode to keep your room cool and comfortable while also removing excess moisture from the air.
can additional buckets be purchased to collect water?
If you use it just as an air-conditioner, no buckets necessary as that the little moisture collected will be spit out through ventilation hose to outside with airflow. If you use the unit though as a dehumidifier only (no cooling air) then a standard garden hose can be attached to the rear of the unit to collect excess moisture. If you want to use buckets rather than leading hose to outside areas I suppose that is possible, but any bucket will do, I think.

Enhance safety in your home with this eufyCam 2 security camera. The night vision capability lets you see clearly in dark conditions, while the 2K Full HD resolution captures detailed videos. This white eufyCam 2 security camera comes with mounting hardware for hassle-free installation, and the IP67-rated construction allows for safe outdoor use. The add-on camera requires eufy Security HomeBase 2 to operate. The add-on camera will not function on its own.
How many cameras can the Home Base 2 record simultaneously? If you have 5 cameras and Eufy doorbell detecting motion simultaneously, will the Home Base 2 capture and save the recordings from all 6 devices?
I have the Homebase 1, an earlier unit and it can handle up to 16 eufy devices at once. I believe it buffers individual devices till each device can record to the homebase which contains the micro sd card where the images are stored. Have had no problems yet with 2 cameras and doorbell recordings simultaneously.

My camera doesn't have any SD card. Do I have to buy it separate?
Yes. SD card not included. I suggest buying a class 10, 32 or 64 GB card as a maximum. I was encountering problems with 128 GB cards from different manufacturers. I think it’s a problem with the camera slot, not the cards themselves because the cards worked fine in my pc. Also be away the card is formatted by the camera, so don’t have anything valuable on the card you want to keep. It will be erased.

I bought an SD card at Best buy 128 GB how do you put it into the SD card slot. The card keeps on popping out after I push it in it doesn't stay in
Images for this Question
(click to see full-size image)
Its tricky. I've got 5 cameras now, and on one no matter what I did it either kept popping out or was getting temporarily stuck in the slot before it would eventually pop back out again. After several attempts I decided to try a another SD card and voila...no more popping out. At least in my case it was the card apparently. I suggest you try another card. They make those cards in such large quantities that I'm sure at least a few rejects might slip by quality control once in awhile. Good luck.

What is the largest GB of a card that the camera will accept?
According to tp link the maximum size is 128gb, class 10. I've used rhat size but since the cameras record over the oldest files on a continuous loop, 32gb is sufficient for a month of 720p resolution which i use, though the camera will record also at 360p and 1080p, so recording times will vary.

can you talk threw camera
You can talk through the camera, but its not really clear and you must speak loudly to be heard, its not like a speakerphone. Also sometimes if they are reflective sound surfaces (eg. metal) near the camera a echo effect can be picked up by the camera as you speak, and you hear your own voice in the background. Though the camera is very good at picking up on other sounds through it's microphone.

Can you connect multiple cameras and view it at one time.
You can watch multiple images from different cameras on different devices at the same time, but you can't watch multiple images from different cameras onto a single device. I got five cameras, and I can watch different camera views on my Android phone and on my iPad at the same time.

This will be my first indoor camera. Do I have to buy the SD card or can use the camera without it? Buying the SD Card what benefits will the camera have? Without it will still have the motion detection available?
You can use the camera without a sd card, and receive notifications, and use motion tracking about activity, but unless you subscribe to kasa care cloud storage or use the sd card you will not be able to see anything outside of real-time monitoring. I like that it has a sd card for storage rather than paying a monthly fee to kasa if I want to review footage that I might be missing. I also understand that there has been continuing problems with kasa monitoring and that is why kasa now offers sd card storage so that they can eventually end the kasa storage program rather than fix their on-going problems.
