A Great Small Chromebook for the Price
on June 17, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Acer - Chromebook 512 – 12” IPS Display - Intel Celeron N4020 - 4GB Memory - 32GB eMMC – Ruggedized – Spill Resistant KB computer is a solid choice for a great price.
The plastic outer material gives a first impression of an inferior build. However, once you're actually using it you find that it is, in fact, 'ruggedized' and very tough.
As with most Chromebooks, set up was a breeze. Using it for normal Chromebook scenarios was also smooth, as expected: word processing, email, web surfing, watching videos, etc. No problem.
The keyboard is simple and functional, though it is a bit of an acquired taste as far as very short travel and extra sensitivity. The trackpad worked great and has ample space for a small computer.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with this Chromebook and consider it a great deal at the price.

The SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System has crime-fighting features other systems dream about. With red and blue flashing lights, bright spotlights, two-way audio, and loud sirens, you can intimidate intruders and prevent crime from happening, and these features are controllable remotely in the Swann Security app. You get free local recording for up to 180 days+ onto the massive 1TB hard drive and the option to backup video to your Dropbox account. Know what’s happening at any hour with powerful infrared night vision up to 115’/35m and Night2Day™ gives you amazing color video at night up to 32’/10m. Swann’s True Detect™ heat and motion detection senses people and cars for more reliable monitoring and fewer false alarms. The 4K Ultra HD video and powerful digital zoom, the cameras let you actively watch over entrances, yards, driveways, parking lots, shop floors, storerooms, and customer service areas. With the Swann Security app, push notifications let you know what’s happening and you can even watch live or playback video on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. In fact, you can view any of the cameras on your smart TV, and speak to see hands-free via Hey Google and Alexa devices. The cameras plug into power while their video signal back to the NVR is transmitted wirelessly, so you don’t have to worry about drilling into walls and running cables anywhere. The NVR connects to your internet router via the included network cable or Wi-Fi, while the new SwannNet™ technology allows you to select whether each camera connects to the NVR or your home Wi-Fi, meaning you can choose whichever network has a stronger Wi-Fi signal. This gives you greater flexibility to place the cameras where they need to be, and their robust indoor/outdoor design is built to withstand rain, snow and heat, all year round. That’s the SecureAlert Wi-Fi NVR Security System – it’s another example of security made smarter from Swann.

Excellent Choice for Many Applications
on June 7, 2021

The Swann - Enforcer™ 4-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor 4K UHD Wireless Wi-Fi NVR Security Surveillance System w/ 1 TB HDD is a very good choice - if you have the right combination of supporting resources.
In other words, you need to have:
- Good, solid wifi with strong coverage wherever you're going to place the cameras.
- Electrical outlets within convenient distance of the cameras.
- Good, solid wifi with strong coverage wherever you're going to place the cameras.
- Electrical outlets within convenient distance of the cameras.
If you've got these, you'll find the Swann - Enforcer™ 4-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor 4K UHD Wireless Wi-Fi NVR Security Surveillance System w/ 1 TB HDD to be an excellent choice.
It does take more time to choose and place the cameras and provide the connection to power. The rechargeable camera's I've used are much easier to set up initially. However, I find it so much better to take the time up front to have wired power than to keep up with a changing regimen. Too often I've lost camera input while away because I'd forgotten to recharge the camera.
Also, the 1TB NVR lifts this system to a whole other level compared to those which use micro-discs, subscriptions, or in-app recording scenarios.
I can't speak for the Android app, but I found the iPhone app to be very useful.
This is an excellent choice for those looking for a 4-camera setup.

Great Wireless Earbuds for the Price
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The JLab - GO Air True Wireless In-Ear Headphones are a solid pair of wireless earbuds for their cost.
The fit and feel is good. The sound is solid - not high-end, of course, but still solid. They were very easy to pair and are simple to control. They snap into the included charging case and start up as soon as you take them out and put them in your ears. They do feel a little stiff in my ears and I believe I could reach a point of 'wear-fatigue' after a few hours. However, I don't use them for extended periods of time, so it's not an issue for me. I do wish there were a cover for the charging case, but they feel secure when in it.
Great wireless earbuds for the price!

A Solid Product for a Great Price
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The JLab - GO Work wireless office headset is a solid product for a great price.
At first, I thought the ear cushions looked too small to be that useful, but I was wrong. Not only do they fit well and feel super comfortable, but the sound was much better than I was anticipating at this price-point. I did not experience any 'wear fatigue' at all. Being able to connect simultaneously to my MacBook and iPhone was great - and the sound quality for phone calls was excellent on both ends.
For this price range, I have no complaints at all. Great product.

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.

Very Pleased with this Security Camera
on May 27, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The eufy - Security Outdoor Cam 2k Spotlight Wired is great.
It is easy to mount and easy to set up using the app. Once set up it works just as you'd expect. The AI ability to detect the difference between people and others moving objects is very good. The recordings are clear and easy to navigate. Night vision is also very good and the spotlight is surprisingly bright for it's small size.
Once set up, it did take a little time to figure how to navigate the app because it threw a bunch of product sales info at me in the beginning.
All-in-all very pleased with this security camera.

Limited Features and OS Options
on May 20, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Brother MFCJ1205W INKvestment Tank Inkjet Printer produces good-quality prints on plain paper. The new 'tank' cartridge is a good approach and I like their auto-order system better than the 'forced' system that HP offers.
However, I cannot recommend it for 2 reasons (which may or may not matter for you):
1 - It does not print 2-sided. In order to accomplish a 2-sided print you must manually flip the pages over and then have it print the second side. It will assist you in this by printing every other page on large jobs, but you still have to flip them over to print the alternate pages.
2 - It is Windows-focused and thus you cannot get the highest resolution print from a Mac as you can from Windows. Also, you need to use a special Brother print app to access printer options on a Mac.

If these issues do not matter or apply to you, you may want to consider it. But, personally, I wouldn't recommend it in light of the many better choices that are currently available in this price range.

Solid Product Needs to be Individually Assessed
on May 16, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
I have mixed feelings about the RIG - Nacon PRO Compact Controller for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
I like the solid, yet light, feel of the build. I like the heavy-duty 10-foot cord. I like the slightly larger buttons. I like the noticeable improvement in sound using the pass-through Dolby Atmos. I like the mechanical and precise feel of the joysticks.
The slightly smaller form factor is not a plus for me. I'm an adult and it felt a bit too small. Not a deal-breaker, but definitely not a positive feature either (for me). Obviously, this is a subjective issue for each user.
The top menu and options buttons are placed wider than usual and that also produced mixed results for me. I like having the right button closer to the normal action buttons. However, because the left menu button is further to the left, I have to reach over the left joystick to use it, rather than slightly around the right side of the joystick, as I do on my regular controller. Granted, game play is rarely effected by how fast you can access the menu button, but I found this unintuitive - and it took more effort to use that button.
A good product with a couple features that need to be individually assessed.

Solid Business Project - Especially for 4:3 Format
on May 9, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Epson EX5280 3LCD XGA Projector is a solid product for presentations and media. Light, simple to setup, with ample controls on the projector as well as the remote. I appreciated being able to easily adjust skew, zoom, and focus.
The image is what you expect from an Epson unit in this price range - crisp, good colors, even brightness across the screen, etc.
The Epson EX5280 3LCD XGA Projector presents itself as a business presentation tool - and it certainly excels at that. The only disappointment I experienced was that it's native format is the older 4:3, rather than the newer 16:9. It will handle 16:9, but it does it in a letter-box format, with means you can still see the not-so-faint additional blank projection area. Once I came to terms with this, I was able to focus on the primary area - which is, as mentioned, clear and crisp.

Solid all-purpose color printer at a great price
on April 27, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The HP - OfficeJet Pro 8035e Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer is a good all-purpose printer, scanner, copier, etc.
The set-up was simple and easy thanks to the HP+ app. Once set up, it immediately worked as expected. The printing is fast and fairly quiet. The quality is solid - on a par with most other inkjet printers I've used. You'd have to bump up to a laser printer to see an improvement in standard color printing.
Scanning and copying also worked great - as expected.
The HP+ automatic ink is subscription based and the benefit will depend on your use and personal preference. I find it a relief to know that I won't be caught without ink when I need to print.

A Solid Choice for iPhone Earbuds
on April 27, 2021
Posted by: JBCTECH
from Salt Lake City, UT
The Skullcandy - Set Lightning - In-Ear - Wired earbuds are a solid choice when looking for good sound, simple features and comfort - and the ability to plug right in to your iPhone.
Although it may not be a major factor for many, the fact that it comes with cushions in a variety of sizes is a nice addition. For my wife, it was key. She has trouble getting most earbuds to stay in her ears, and that is frustrating. So, I had her try these - and now they're hers!
Here's what she had to say: "It seems earbuds are earbuds EXCEPT these stay in my ears much better than any brand I’ve tried. I guess my ears are shaped weird—whatever— buds pop like corn right out of my ears, except these. They’re comfortable and the sound is clear, and now I can listen uninterrupted. So kudos to Skull Candy for making them, and kudos to me for trying them."
Looks like you can't go wrong with these earbuds

Apartment use. Currently have a TimeWarner modem router and an extender in living room. parts of living room are slow and gaps. will these replace the modem router and will range be better?
I had a similar set-up as you describe. You will still need the modem function of your modem router to supply the internet signal from TimeWarner, but if you connect via ethernet from your existing modem router to the ORBI system, you should get a stronger system and better speed. I'm not with TimeWarner, but I had purchased and was using a modem router. After installing ORBI as described above, the strength and speed of my signal increased measurably. Remember that the wifi cannot make the speed greater than what arrives via your provider, but a better system, such as the ORBI, can bring the wireless signal closer to the actual ethernet speed. That's what it did for me.

So if it comes with two, I'm assuming you have one that internet is linked to by cable and the other is used as a extender? Or do you have to have both units hooked to cable?
You are correct. There is the Router unit, which must be connected by ethernet to your cable or dsl provider, and there is the Satellite unit which connects wirelessly with the main Router unit and extends the same signal with the same wifi name.

Will this product cover a 2000 sq. ft., one level house with only one (1) WiFi Name? The reason for this question is I'm currently using an extension to my router which has given the front of the house a different wifi name from the back of the house.
Yes. That's one of the advantages of this system versus a basic range extender, with the ORBI it's all the same wifi name. Plus, if you desire, you can pick up the satellite unit and move it according to you needs. It only takes 1-2 minutes for it to reconnect with the main router.
