Leave your worries at the door with cutting-edge clarity and powerful protection with the Arlo Pro 5S 2K. Installation is easier than ever with a wire-free setup. Plus, the camera's smart Wi-Fi with dual-band connection automatically connects to either the 2.4 or 5 GHz network, whichever is stronger, for faster video loading and less buffering. See details that matter with 2K HDR video that’s twice the resolution of HD cameras, 12x zoom to make out details like faces or license plates, and a wide 160° field of view to see the bigger picture. Never miss a detail with clearer video, even at night, with color night vision and enhanced low light video with an advanced image sensor. You can also spend less time charging and more time protecting with additional rechargeable batteries and a dual battery charging station.³ Your cameras will also always stay secured with the included anti-theft mounts, and you can send a message that you’re protected with the included yard sign. The Pro 5S 2K is also built to work with the Arlo Home Security System, providing enhanced battery life, a more robust connection with Arlo SecureLink, and image verification when power or Wi-Fi is down.¹ Get smarter notifications on your phone when the Pro 5S 2K spots people, vehicles, animals, or packages, and view live or recorded video clips directly from your phone with a free trial of Arlo Secure service included.² Personalize your notifications and create custom activity zones to ensure you only get alerts for what matters most, reducing less important notifications.

Easy install, clear images!
on October 3, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'm a long time owner of Arlo products. I have over 15 cameras and spotlights around my home and cabin. I do pay for an Arlo Secure plan as I feel that provides the best value for what I need. The Pro 5S comes with an Arlo Secure trial to store the 2k cloud recordings.
OK - so for the camera itself. Arlo came out with some nice features versus their previous generations. Features like: Dual Band Wi-Fi - so it can connect to both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz network for broader compatibility is to me the best new feature. Low Power Mode give up to 30% more battery life and Alro Secure Link gives you a more secure connection all around. The camera boasts 2K resolution/output and a 160 degree viewing area - providing a clear large field of vision.
Many people ask if you need a SmartHub or Base Station - NOPE. You don't need those as this camera can connect directly to your Wi-Fi Router! That's a nice bonus. You do get some minor benefits using a SmartHub (optimized Wi-Fi traffic, slightly better battery life,etc) but it's not required.
Color night vision happens with the built in spotlight - see attached pictures. A built in siren can be configured to startle and scare visitors or animals.
The only minor issue I had as that it forced me to upgrade my phone app when adding this camera to my existing SmartHub system. That caused me a little confusion, as the new app does things a bit different - but nothing that you can't work through.
Overall, this is a solid camera with large crisp images to capture the scenes that matter to you most!

Superb Wireless Speaker!
on September 20, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I took a little longer to write this review as I was having so much fun listening to amazing sounds of this new speaker! JBL really did it right, and I don't much to complain about aside from knowing ahead of time this didn't have a battery. My personal belief is that any smart home or portable speaker should have a built-in rechargeable battery so it can be used without power. JBL made this retro-looking speaker to be a stationary focal point in your room - as there are no handles for easy carrying and it is quite heavy. If you know and acknowledge this up front - you'll love this speaker.
Sound is fantastic! Deep bass, crisp treble and warm mids make this pure pleasure for your ears. I have 5+ large, portable speakers - and this may be the best sounding one yet!
There are lots of options for playing music - like using Bluetooth or WiFi direct, integration with Google and Amazon smart devices and not to mention the JBL One app for custom sound settings, voice controls/assistants and enable more streaming features. It boasts a virtual Dolby Atmos - which adds an interesting dimension to the audio that gives you the feeling of being immersed in sound.
Outfitted with an Ethernet port, USB-C connection and 3.5mm axillary port give you connectivity options.
I truly love this speaker. Although it is a bit large (you likely can't place this under your TV), you can be sure it will become a topic of conversation as people hear the awesome sound quality at your next gathering!

Bulky yet comfortable!
on September 8, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'm always looking for the next thing to try for listening to music - and I love being outside so I thought these Smart Sunglasses would be a nice addition to my tech arsenal - and I was right! as the title says - they are a bit big and bulky, but I realize they Lucyd had to pack them full of batteries, chips and speakers - so I feel that is understandable.
Sound quality is good for something so small. As you'd expect it's not a rich full sounding bass explosion, but definitely good enough to listen to while walking or spending time outdoors. I won't use these when mowing the yard as I want more in-ear style headphones that also serve somewhat as ear plugs. You can control volume, songs and more through "taps" on the left or right side of the glasses - so you'll have to memorize what they mean - or use the volume on your phone.
The sunglasses part of this smart eyewear piece is great. Quality lenses with a gradient shading feature that I like more than I expected. Images are crisp and clean without distortion or waviness. You can change out the lenses with prescription lenses if needed.
I can definitely see how smart eyewear will continue to enhance people daily lives - just grab the glasses and go! No more searching for the earbuds or wearing over the head headsets, it's all included in these smart shades! I plan to continue to use these for my solo outdoor activities going forward!

Super fast and easy install
on August 2, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I had been having some issues with a newer computer utilizing Optane M2 memory, and decided it was time for a switch. Enter in the Samsung 990 Pro M.2 drive. I replaced the Optane memory module and 7200RPM hard drive with this NVMe unit - and it's like I have a brand new machine again - only better.
I cannot say enough about upgrading your PCs disk - it is likely the single biggest impact you can make to your system as long as you already have enough RAM to function. I'm running Windows 10 Pro and the Samsung 990 Pro drive the system with ease!
Let's talk about speed for a second. My old spinning drive clocked in with a score of about 2400 using the Passmark Performance Test utility. I use this tool to compare all my systems and components so I have a baseline to compare by. The new Samsung 990 Pro - clocked in at a WHOPPING 29800 - more than 10x as fast as my old drive. The feel on the performance is truly night and day. I've attached some pictures of the performance test and a detailed test on the disk.
Overall, I'm supper happy that this drive made my PC new again! This is a great investment in the performance and longevity of your machine - you won't be sorry! Just make sure to backup your data and apps so you can reinstall them on the new disk!

Nice display - solid performance!
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I'm become partial to All-In-One computers as I like the clean lines on my desktop, less peripherals and cords hanging around, and the space savings that are standard in the AIO design. Enter the Dell Inspiron 27" AIO device. This sweet and capable device offers a substantial BANG for relatively little bucks in my opinion.
Start off with some pretty good components (note that this machine is NOT built for gaming). The newer 13th Gen Core i5 processor scores well on my test program - which should allow you to create/stream/consume content with no restrictions. The system has16 GB RAM and a fast SSD drive to boot, the slowest components being the 2D and 3D graphics capability. As I said this is NOT a gaming machine.
After setting the machine up, I noticed several positive items: The TV inspired display design is easy on the eyes even though it's a big 27" screen at close range. Color and clarity are great - crisp and sharp. Wifi connectivity was easy and solid with the Intel Wi-Fi 6E. The 5 in 1 card reader is a nice touch for those of us still using SLR cameras, drones or other devices with SD cards.
A unique feature is that this AIO also works as a monitor (capable of becoming a 2nd display for another computer) without powering on the system by connecting to the HDMI in/out port. That's the first time I've seen that!
Overall - this is a solid performing device that can help you clean up your space (keyboard parking underneath and cable management behind)!

Nice fit, all day comfort and good sound quality!
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've always been a headphones kinda guy, but I thought it was time to try some wireless earbuds again - and I'm really glad I did! I've been wearing the Poly Voyager Free 60 earbuds 4-5 hours a day and have been very pleasantly surprised with them. I changed the ear cushions to the smaller size and they've done a great job at staying in my ear during office work, walking, yard work and sweating.
I did some test calls right away - and the person I called (I call the same person to test all my headphones, headsets and earbuds), had nothing but good things to say about the call quality. The only minor complaint was that they could hear background noise like paper rustling, etc. I'll look in the Poly Lens app to see if there's a way to turn that down more.
The Voyagers come with a charging case with a magnetic fit, three different sizes of ear cushions/tips and a small getting started guide. They paired up easily with my iPhone and I was off and listening in minutes.
This week I'll use them for more conference calls but I'm not expecting any problems. I kind of like not having a band over my head so these may become my go to ear buds.
I've been listening to various artists - pop/rock/country on Spotify and the sounds has been good.
Overall - very happy with these and would recommend you give them a try!

Awesome brightness, color and clarity!
on July 5, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
The first thing to know about the Epson Pro EX11000 projector is that this is a business projector - and it's great at providing crisp and bright images from any office product or media stream for that matter. I say it's a Business projector - as it doesn't have the consumer grade home screen that displays are your media streams, advertisements and trailers. This no-nonsense unit meant to get in you presentation material quickly and get down to business.
For my testing, I put it initially in a room with large windows and a temporary screen on the wall. I had another Epson projector in the room to compare to - and although it's a little hard to tell, the Laser Projector images definitely look brighter and more detailed.
Setup was relatively simple, but there are so many options it took a while for me to find exactly the settings I was looking for - you just need to be patient. It joined easily to the WiFi network and I tried a variety of streaming methods including HDMI, Device Mirroring, and a Microsoft Wireless Projection dongle to see how it would work and it worked great!
Epson included a 16 W speaker and it's quite a bit louder than I expected. Easy to control from the remote, you shouldn't miss any parts of the conversation when using it for video conferencing. If you plan to show a movie or TV stream though - I'd opt for using an external speaker for a more full range of sound.
Overall - I really like the projector and the brightness, color and clarity of the images it provides. I gave it only 4 stars as I feel Epson should have included Apple Airplay and Bluetooth in it for better connectivity and support.

In addition to adding industry-leading power capability, Revolve45’s striking design looks beautiful on the wall.

Fast charging and Surge Protection in one device!
on June 24, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
Have you ever had issues with your power adapters not fitting into even a two socket outlet? The Revolve45 Surge Protectors takes care of that problem by allowing 360 degree rotation of each outloet socket AND protects your devices at the same time with a 1080 joule surge protector and $100,000 connected equipment warranty!
360 Electrical has also incorporated Gallium Nitride - a material that efficiently reduces heat dissipation during charging, Charge Sense - a technology that intelligently distributes power between ports when charging more than one device, and a Power Delivery feature that is in constant communication with your device to ensure a safe charge.
The "45" means it is capable of delivering 45-Watts of power to your devices to charge them as quickly and safely as possible. Due to this rapid charging capability, this device has quickly become the source of "power fights" in our family as everyone was to use the "fast charger".
Overall - I highly recommend the use of a surge protector like this and to combine it with rotating outlets and fast charging is AWESOME.
I gave this a 4-star rating as it is only meant to plug into standard (non-GFI) wall outlets.

Awesome screen and graphics, light and capable!
on May 25, 2023
Posted by: TechMatcher
I've had the pleasure of using many, many laptops do to my work in IT. When given the chance to review the new HP Dragonfly Pro, I jumped at it.
This machine is packed with features. I tested the Dragonfly Pro with Windows 11 Home, a 14" touch screen, AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD drive and a super nice and crisp screen. I've got to say upon turning it on - the screen REALLY stood out for me.
there are more features, like 4 "special keys" in which 3 are preset and 1 is customizable to open an Application, Website, File, Folder, etc. Neat feature but if you have one programmable key - why not 3 or 4? The other 3 keys open things like myHP access, Live Support and the HP Smart Cam.
Benchmark testing using the Passmark Performance Test tool showed GREAT scores on the CPU and Disk, while slightly sub-average scores for 2D/3D graphics and the RAM (see attached picture). Putting in a few better components would really speed this machine up - but honestly it is quite capable of your everyday surfing and streaming tasks. In additional, HP boasts the battery life of all their 14" consumer laptops - partly due to NOT having a power-hogging, dedicated GPU - so this was a conscious decision by HP.
HP did it right on several fronts with this machine: PCIe SSD storage is SUPER FAST, audio Bang & Olufsen with quad speakers (music and movies sounds great), integrated fingerprint reader, a clear 5MP integrated webcam with electronic shutter and wide-range microphone, all kinds of sensors (accelerometer, color temperature light sensor, gyroscope, IR thermal sensor - WOW!
Overall - I really like this laptop and would have given it 5 stars if the graphics and RAM scored better - but again HP made this laptop more power friendly by installing power efficient components - that just means they are quite as performant as other more power-hungry components.

Awesome Sound, Super Portable & all around great!

Posted by: TechMatcher
I have to say that EVERY Bose product I have owned is nothing short of phenomenal - and the Bose S1 Pro+ Wireless PA system is no exception. Thing thing ROCKS. It's Loud and Clear. It's Portable and Sexy (can I say that)? It has a plethora of settings for wired instruments and microphones and Bluetooth connectivity to play from your compatible devices. Oh - and for your instruments and microphones, it also has BUILT-IN wireless RF receivers too!
The unit boasts a rechargeable battery with up to 11 hours of playtime and a USB power to power your phone or tablet if needed as well. It can connect to other Bose S1 Pro speakers to truly elevate your sound (I was unable to test this - but it's a major feature).
They suggest downloading and use the Bose Music App for audio control, accessing your favorite streaming services and taking total control of your music.
Overall - I love it. My family loves it - in fact they fight over it. We'll use this on the boat, at the bonfire, in the garage and basically everywhere. My daughter is a dancer - and loves to use this to play her dance music to practice with. Sure, it's a bit more expensive than a simple bluetooth speaker - but you get what you pay for and this Bose products delivers in abundance!

Garmin Speak™ Plus with Amazon Alexa is what you love about Amazon Alexa, now in your vehicle. Use voice control for hands-free access to music, news, navigation and more. Plus, a built-in dash cam gives you forward collision and lane departure warnings.
Can the lane departure tones be turned off? It's really really annoying! Goes off every time you come up on a car at a stop light. It's not realistic to stay 5 car lengths away from the car in front of you at a light...lots birds would be flipped at You!
Aside from muting the device itself, you can turn off selective features: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/speakplus/EN-US/GUID-EFD3414D-5D4A-4BB7-9496-ECAD2C4D994E.html

Make your home an internet haven with this versatile Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system. Three identical tri-band dual-stream AC2200 routers, each equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, deliver lightning-fast internet. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0/LE, this Linksys Velop wireless Wi-Fi system is simple to set up and pairs easily with computers, tablets and smart devices.
Will this system work in a metal building with walls, I have AT&T and currently use an M-Cell booster from them but it does not extend my service throughout the entire building.
Unfortunately, you never know for sure until you've tried it - as all structures and materials are a bit different. However, using a three node system like this starts you off with better odds that a single router! Give it a try and see how it works!

I currently have the latest AT&T Pace modem / router. Can the AT&T modem be placed into a bridge mode enabling just the modem function? From research, this is a very complicated procedure. I would prefer to return the rental AT&T unit.
I would agree with your second statement - and would always recommend that people purchase their own dedicated modem (cable or DSL) and then use a separate dedicated router configuration. You have more control that way - can keep your devices firmware updated regularily, and usually have better equipment!
