Google - Nest Cam IQ Outdoor Security Camera (2-Pack) - White
Mighty. Smart.Nest Cam IQ is a seriously sharp outdoor security camera. It has brains to tell you when it sees a person and Supersight to show you an extra clear close-up tracking shot of who's there. It can even recognize familiar faces with Nest Aware.
High Quality But Still Some Issues

We have Nest everything already. We've added these cameras to compliment the system we already have in place. Currently, the Nest company is being brought back under the wing of the main Google company. During this transition period, we've noticed some false notifications including incorrect facial recognition and more alerts about motion and people when nothing was present. It should be noted that these false notifications are present in our other cameras that we previously purchased as well, so it's definitely a system problem and not an issue with these cameras specifically. I believe these issues will be corrected as the transition completes.
Quality is great. Ease of installation was simple. Just make sure you have enough cable to make it to the outlet you intend to use.
The speaker is VERY loud. We use it to yell at our dogs when they are barking or biting at the fence to get to the neighbor's dogs and it works very well.

Overall, I would recommend these cameras. I would in fact recommend the entire line of Google Nest products. Just be aware that as the company transitions over to Google, there may be some hiccups along the way.

The system was bought at Best Buy as a package with their Magnolia outdoor speakers. This system itself is NOT for outdoor use and should be kept in a climate controlled area. For our use we utilized it for our patio sound system.
As stated in the title, it is not a "wireless system". This system was created to reuse older wired speakers systems, utilizing the Amp as a bridge to the Sonos universe. But even with that, the process for setup was as seamless as any other setup for Sonos.
As with all other Sonos products, you can utilize this product with other Sonos products to have multi-room music synced. One pleasant surprise I found with this system was with the auxillary input into the Amp. It is possible to backfeed the auxillary input in the Amp to other Sonos products in your system. I was shocked that it had that capability but it definitely makes it more versatile!
I would highly recommend this product, and if you're looking for an outdoor system, the package that Best Buy offers takes full advantage of everything Sonos has to offer!

We deal with power outages frequently. And using our home computer network as our music and movie server can be a pain when that happens. Having added this power supply along with our previous one allows us to remain online (as long as the ISP isn't affected) even when the power is out. Neither supply has yet to run out even with hours long power outages. APC is a quality company. This is a quality product and is reasonably priced. Getting on sale was an added benefit!

Required Piece of Hardware for Nest/Yale Lock

We have a lot of Nest/Yale products. The Nest connect is one of two ways to connect the Nest/Yale Lock to the rest of the system. The other way is to purchase a Nest Security System (Secure), which is way more expensive. Nest offers a package deal for the lock and Nest Connect which is cheaper than buying them separately.
The only thing I would recommend is plugging this into an outlet that is not accessible to little ones who may pull it out.

Write spells and other notes with this Harry Potter pen and bookmark set. When capped, the writing instrument doubles as a replica of Harry's wand. The page marker in this Harry Potter pen and bookmark set shows the Boy Who Lived in mid cast, perhaps summoning a Patronus to help you through frightening parts of a book.

I'm utilizing this memory card in a Samsung Note 8. The process was simple, plug and play. I have a couple apps running off of it and all of my media files are stored on the card. I've noticed not lag or errors as of yet. Getting as a "Deal of the Day" made it all the more worthwhile.

Philips - hue Tap Remote Switch - White
Philips hue tap 452524 Switch: Take your smart lighting controls to the next level by accessing up to four light scenes with the push of a button. Great as a backup when your smartphone is charging or in use, the hue tap provides wireless, touch-powered control from room to room.
I have had one of these that control my hue lights. It is about 6 years old and has stopped working. I am thinking the battery is dead. Is there a way to replace it?
This base kit includes 1 color changing Hue Play light bar, mounting hardware, and 1 power supply with plug. Create a wash of colorful light with the sleek design of the Play light bar. Choose from 16 million colors to experience different light effects. Select preset scenes with dynamic effects or create your own in the Hue app. Lay it horizontally on the floor or stand it vertically on a cabinet or shelf. Create a TV backlight by mounting it to the back of the TV with the included mounts to enhance your home theater setup. Connect up to 3 light bars with one power supply (extension kits sold separately). Connect to a Hue Sync box (sold separately) to create immersive lighting experiences that sync in real time to your favorite movies, music, and video games. Hue lights can sync with music when you pair them with your Spotify account or listen to music using Samsung SmartThings in the Galaxy smartphone app. Take gaming to a whole new level when you sync Hue lights with Razer Chroma LED accessories and Corsair iCUE products. Requires a Hue Bridge (sold separately). Unlock the full power of Philips Hue smart home lighting with the Bridge and enjoy benefits like multi-room control, automations and smart control from anywhere in the world.
Can the bar light be mounted on the ceiling? Thanks!
Yes. It has a 3M adhesive sticker for attaching it to anything. However, it might damage drywall when you remove it.

I bought three of these cameras but my electrician said he cannot splice into hardwired electrical nor does he recommend feeding through wall into an interior outlet. How are others mounting? I feel like exterior outlets would be unsightly.
