No muss, no fuss. Brought my DigiLand DL8006 in when it wouldn't turn on and they gave me a new one when they couldn't get it to even charge.

Insignia™ - 12' 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable - White
Enjoy high-quality video on screens throughout your room with help from this 12-foot Insignia HDMI cable. The fully shielded cord holds up to daily wear and tear without sacrificing functionality.
Great cable for 4k/60 HDR and 4k/60 SDR

I bought 4 of these as a "Deal of the Day", so I got a better price on them than you'd get from a certain internet retailer known for their inexpensive cables. At the regular price, I'd give them 4 stars because of markup.
Anyway, these perform well with my Apple TV 4K (HDR), my LG UP875 4K Blu-Ray player (HDR), my living room PC (HDR from a Radeon RX580), and my AirTV Player (SDR). Zero glitches with 4K/60 HDR, 4K/24 HDR, 4K/60 SDR, with every color mode I could throw at my TV.
Catch them on sale is my biggest recommendation; the regular price is a little high, even at 12 foot. Also, keep in mind these are thick cables that aren't as flexible as what you're probably used to; high-speed cables are either thicker or have specialized chips in them - sometimes both - to help with higher bandwidth signals, especially outside of the 6 foot range.

Usually, you buy the Insignia brand and expect a mediocre product, as shortcuts are taken and price is considered before quality. Not so with this Smart Speaker; Best Buy's contract manufacturer has figured out how to make it inexpensive and be a high-quality product. I have other Google Assistant speakers in my home and while they're good, this one is honestly better in many respects.
It was purchased under the guise of being an alarm clock and a Google Assistant speaker for the bedroom, with a focus more on the fact I picked up for a few bucks more than a regular alarm clock than anything else. So imagine my surprise when I connected my iPhone via Bluetooth and experienced excellent bass and treble response, especially for what I paid for the speaker. The sound quality isn't as good as a dedicated mid-range BT speaker or a high-end speaker with Google Assistant or Alexa in it, but it's actually a step up from two speakers I own that directly compete with this one.
Setup is super easy with these speakers, just like with any other Google Speaker. You'll need your iPhone or Android device with the Google Home app installed to get it going, Once set up and connected to WiFi, you'll be able to say "Hey Google" and have it do pretty much anything you want a smart speaker to do; the only thing 3rd party Assistant speakers don't do that the actual Google Home speakers do is make phone calls, but chances are you won't miss that feature.
Audio quality is good from pretty much any source. I tested with Bluetooth and Pandora, and both were crystal clear. You can also use Google Play Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, and Deezer (some services require a subscription). Chromecast Audio is also built in, so it can be a target for Chromecast Audio-compatible apps. It's only when you get to the upper limits of the device's volume level that you get audio distortion.
Other nice features are a display on the front of the unit that shows a clock, outdoor temperature, volume level, and even the outside temperature; USB port for charging your phone or other device at night; touch controls for those times when you can't say "Hey Google, mute the music"; and a pleasant, modern aesthetic to the device's design. It also has dual-band WiFi connectivity to connect to your network with.
If there's a drawback to this speaker, it's that it uses a wall wart instead of an internal power supply. That's not really even a con though, that's me nitpicking.
All in all, the Insignia Voice Smart Speaker is a terrific value for what it is. I'd recommend it over most of the major brands, unless you need a water-resistant speaker or want something that will give you a hi-fi experience, in which case there are other options. But for a speaker that will sit by your nightstand, in your kitchen, in your bathroom, or somewhere else that a small speaker that responds to your voice makes sense, this is perfect for the job.

eufy Security Outdoor Cam Pro 2K is a wired 2K Wi-Fi surveillance camera that is completely free of the bounds of an external system hub- instead storing all the information locally in the 32gb SD card that comes with it. Check your high-quality, encrypted, 2K footage whenever you need to via the eufy Security app and only be alerted of the things that matter with AI Human and Pet detection. Outdoor Cam Pro is not compatible with eufy HomeBase. The USB adapter is not waterproof, a cover is required for outdoor use.
Can you record to a home NAS (QNAP) instead of the SD card or other cloud storage.
Yes. Eufy stand-alone camera products that don’t require a Homebase, such as this camera, are compatible to network video recorders supporting RTSP.

Was wondering if this can be tied into my existing Guardian security app. Is it z-wave compatible?

Can it connect to a homebase to use with Homekit? Or can it connect to HomeKit without a base like the indoor 2k camera does?
No and no. Eufy stand-alone wifi cameras use the app but mot the HomeBase, and most are not compatible with HomeKit Secure Video so you’d have to use the app to watch footage recorded directly on the camera, or a RTSP-compatible NVR.

What is the motion range for this camera? I am looking for a camera that the motion activation is about 80-100 feet.
It’s dependent on the environment you place it in and what’s, but I would say at full sensitivity, it picks up on motion up to 75’ out by itself.
Now if you want to use the camera with a NVR/DVR with its own motion detection capabilities, these cameras support RTSP.
Either way, the night vision range is upward of 100 feet.

Plan to put this inside behind window. Will the window glass interfere with the spotlight? And when is this spotlight used (I don’t think I would need it… maybe opt to not turn on?)
Not only will the glass interfere with the spotlight, it’ll interfere with the night vision IR LEDs too. This camera is designed to be placed outside, you just need to make sure there’s a covered power outlet close to it.

I don't have Wi-Fi. Can I configure and use this camera without connecting it to Wi-Fi or a phone app?

Is there a bill associated with this? Do you have a camera system that I can check on my home computer
Totally free to use unless you want to sign up for Eufy’s monitoring service.

CAN THE EUFY SECURITY OUTDOOR CAM 2K APP BE SHARED WITH FAMILY MEMBERS? IF YES UP TO HOW MANY FAMILY MEMBERS?
It can, and I believe up to six different accounts including your own. Of course, I just use the same login with my wife and kid.

eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro provides 360° pan and tilt camera coverage in 2K HD resolution. It boasts smart lighting, real time communication via 2-way audio, all with zero monthly fees. You don't even need a eufy Security HomeBase. This eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro is compatible with most smart devices and can be easily controlled through the eufy Security App. The floodlight can be installed either on the wall or on the ceiling. (Existing outdoor wiring and weatherproof junction box required.)
Are the light panels replaceable ? By far the only reason why I have not bought anyFlood lights from Them is because the fluid lights only last about 5 years is the expectancyIf you can't replace the lights then all you have left is a camera...
The direction Eufy, along with every other company that manufactures a similar product to this, has taken is not to use user-replaceable LED modules, be it panels like this or more traditionally-shaped lights like others. While this isn't necessarily a great thing, it's also not a bad thing as you'll likely want to upgrade the unit in a few years as higher-resolution cameras or smarter AI capabilities become available.
If this is a deal-breaker for you, you'll want to get a floodlight and a separate outdoor camera. To match the functionality of the Eufy Floodlight Cam Pro 2, you'll need a camera with pan and tilt capabilities. To match the Floodlight Cam 2k, you'll only need a fixed camera like the Eufy Outdoor Cam Pro, which uses a wired power source, or the Eufy EufyCam 2 or EufyCam 2C, which are both battery-operated.

i have vinyl siding. can this be used to mount the Eufy battery doorbell?
As long as you can securely screw this into your house, yes. I’d recommend a visit to your local hardware store to find wall anchors that stand off of whatever’s behind the siding.
