With secure spp-based Bluetooth setup, there is no need to connect a TV or monitor for setup or viewing (optional). You can easily configure your system right from the app on your smartphone or tablet with the Bluetooth connection. While a TV or monitor is not required, with Google Assistant you can use simple voice commands to stream camera footage directly to your TV or monitor, all while remaining hands free. Each camera has 1-way audio (speaker) which works with our built-in siren and preset voice alerts. From within the app, you can easily activate the built-in siren, startling intruders and sending them packing. Smart detectiont Technology including human detection,facial capture and vehicle alerts reduce the risk of false alarms, keeping you safe and well protected. Facial capture lets you see who is on your property by snapping a photo and sending the image to your smart device. Motion-activated spotlights flood your yard with bright lights when human motion is detected, instantly warding off trespassers. Our app gives you control of your system and easy access to your recordings, regardless of where you are. Night Owl never charges fees for storage or access to your videos. All recordings are securely stored on a pre-installed hard drive for convenience. You can view and download the recordings as you need them. This system provides the latest technology to give you the ultimate security experience. NOTE: The DVR is compatible with our DP2 Series wired BNC cameras and our WNIP2 Series Wi-Fi IP devices, but is not backward compatible with other Night Owl products.

This system is priced right and a great buy for anyone looking for a wired camera system. After a solid month of using this system I will say that if you want a 1080p wired camera system, buy this one! Setup was super easy, hardest part of the setup for me was running the wires discreetly. Everything else wored exactly as it was supposed to and I had 0 issues with it. You can set up everything with your phone and the app, this was super convenient as other wired systems I’ve worked with in the past, I had to use a computer… this made everything super user friendly and convenient. Once setup, I tested the quality and reviews footage and found it was right where I expected it to be for a 1080p system. No, it’s not as sharp as 4K, nor should you expect it to be. Some motion was blurred, but I found that I could open the app and view my camera and see what was going on quickly. If I see something or someone that shouldn’t be there, I can see that easily with this system.

Coffeehouse Versatility meets Pod Convenience with the Ninja DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System. Included 12-cup, double-walled thermal carafe is perfect for both hot and over-ice beverages, with an ergonomic handle and spout allow for easy control of pouring. Tackle grounds and pods with 9 grounds brew sizes from small cup to full carafe, and 4 pod brew sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. Brews a coffee pod faster than a leading Keurig coffee maker upon startup. With Thermal Flavor Extraction DUO technology, perfect flavor for grounds and pods is delivered with even saturation and precise temperature control for ultra-flavorful coffee. Separate from the coffee system is a dedicated hot water line. Using a separate line eliminates flavor contamination and delivers clean water. 2 temperature settings, hot and boil, allow you to make tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and oatmeal. Brew a super-rich coffee concentrate that you can use to create delicious lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. Use the built-in, fold-away frother to transform hot or cold milk/milk-alternatives into silky-smooth froth in seconds. Top your Specialty brew with frothed milk for a coffeehouse-style drink. The frother is also removable for easy cleaning. Choose from one of four different brew styles; classic or rich for a traditional hot cup of coffee, over ice for an iced coffee that's never diluted, or specialty to make a cappuccino or latte. Clean function, dishwasher-safe parts, removable Ninja pod adaptor and frother allow you to easily deep clean your unit.

I am typically skeptical of anything that is advertised as a “2 in 1” device…. That usually means they don’t do any of those things very well, and just do them “well enough”.
My wife’s not thrilled with my coffee bar area of our kitchen. I have a standard coffee pot, and a K-cup brewer. They take up a lot of space and aren’t exactly pretty to look at on the countertop.
That’s why this 2-in-1 is a game changer. K-cups for that quick morning hitter? I got you! Make a full pot for you and then wife on a Saturday morning? No problem. Having family over for thanksgiving and need to have pot after pot of coffee ready to go? Yesssiiir!
It’s easy to switch from k-cup to standard brew. Take out the K-cup adapter and put in the filter, and BOOM you’re set. It brews fast and hot, and the taste has been amazing!
I already gave my Keurig away. If this thing keeps performing like it has been I’m giving away my old coffee pot next.

Who’s in the garden? Are the kids doing their homework yet? Nest Cam is wire-free, so it goes almost anywhere, outside or in. It knows the difference between people, animals, and vehicles, so you can get the alerts that are important to you. Listen and speak through the camera right from the Google Home app. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view.* If you miss a notification, you can always go back and see what happened with 3 hours of free event video history.* And it’s easy to install yourself – no outlet or wires required. Nest Camera Battery requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site. *** Stand and cable sold separately

Quality is just ok… love the flexibility of a battery powered camera I can really put anywhere and move at my desire… but wish it came without the video quality sacrifice. Plain and simple, this should be a 4K camera. I really can’t see the reason this went back to 1080p. Even if there was a sacrifice in battery life, I would be much happier with a 4K camera and would make this 5 stars.
I’ve used and tried all brands of cameras in the past… and I have Nest cameras in my home already so I am familiar with the interface and app, but this camera isn’t compatible with the Nest app. I had to download the Google Home app and sign in through that… not a huge deal, but I personally like the Nest app layout and interface better. I really don’t want to use the Google Home app because it’s not as easy to use in my opinion. Setup went very smooth, it was super easy. That was great! It went from being in the box to being setup and working on just a few minutes. Quality is good, but not great. Same with night vision, it’s not terrible, but it would be really nice if it was 4K.

Experience the thrill of the game with the new Dell G15 gaming laptop. Featuring AMD® Ryzen processors, NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics improved thermal design and Game Shift technology.
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
Admittedly I’ve mostly used tower PCs in my computer gaming and have really dreaded laptops for their lag, Battery drain, and being overly cumbersome to use. But I’ll say this one has been great so far!
First thing I love is the size, I don’t want or need a tiny laptop for gaming. I wanted something I could use! And this one is perfect. Big enough, but doesn’t feel massive while using. But as I use it more and more I find myself doing waaaay more than just gaming in it, it’s super comfortable to type on, and I’ve been using this more than my MacBook recently. I can’t explain it completely, but it feels and fits great in my hands.
Battery life has been amazing, especially considering the fans this thing has and the big screen. I’m impressed and surprised!
The graphics card and performance has been nearly perfect for me. If you are a gamer I guarantee you’ll be happy with this laptop. The only recommendations or changes I have come from building my own gaming rig, and it would not be at this price point that Dell has it at. Honestly this is an easy buy for anyone who games but wants to be able to get some work done in their laptop too.

FedEx called ahead before delivery to ensure I would be home for this, it ships on a pallet and came in a semi-truck. Out of the box, this thing is straightforward to set up. But I had a few hiccups, I couldn’t open the seat to access the charging cable, user manual, mirrors, and other accessories… I was stuck and couldn’t do anything…I’ve never owned a scooter before, so I had no idea how to get this thing open… I searched for a latch or lever, nothing…. Looked for the manual, nothing (spoiler alert: it was inside the seat storage area), checked the website, and bestbuy.com, found nothing! I started googling and checking YouTube for how to open scooter seats and finally found out how (put the key into the ignition and turn it to the left). OK, now let’s let this thing charge up overnight so I can try it out! Plugged it in and left it charging overnight. Went out the next day after letting it charge for 10+ hours and tried to start it…nothing. Battery was completely dead…. OK, what did I do wrong? I noticed that when I open the seat there was a switch on the battery area, I flipped the switch and plugged it in again and let it charge for 10+ hours and hoped it was charging this time…
After letting it fully charge, I turned it on, and it worked! Wooo hoo! Ready to roll! I drove it around for about 30 minutes and it was fun and very responsive. Acceleration was nice, and it is completely silent which is really cool! Braking was easy and felt solid. I never felt unsafe or in danger while riding this scooter which is very important to me! I will say I wish it could go faster than 20mph… thinking about driving this to run errands or taking it out for anything besides a joy ride gives me pause… any and all roads around me have a minimum speed limit of 25mph, and most are 35mph-55mph. So, having a top speed of 20mph concerns me that I may hold up traffic or be in the way. It seems like it was a little sluggish on hills. That is the only reason I would feel “unsafe” while driving this, because it’s really great to drive and is very easy to control, and very fun!
The controls of the scooter are very intuitive. Turn signals, horn, bright lights, etc… all felt natural and after using them a few times I no longer have to look for the controls before using them.
Hopping on this scooter to make a quick trip uptown or to the store really does change things for me…. Instead of dreading it or using one of the 1000 delivery apps, I’ve been hopping on my scooter and making a trip out of it. I’ve already gotten a few looks and questions about it. Most people are surprised that it is all electric and with the battery life! I haven’t had to charge the battery since I fully charged it up, and its still showing full. They can’t believe how quiet it is either!
I’ve driven it in the evening a few times now (not quite at night, but dusk) and I will say the lights on this thing are amazing, like REALLY amazing. I have no concerns about being seen or being able to see. The bright lights are BRIGHT and illuminate the entire road for me. I felt completely safe driving this in the evening and it was super convenient. It makes finding a parking spot obsolete, I can just park it at the bike rack or near the entrance of a restaurant or store, which ultimately saves me time and gets me done with my errands faster, while not using gas, and having a blast. I would highly recommend this.

I’ve just recently gotten more into PC gaming and I have not been able to find a headset I’m really happy with until I tried this one. They’ve all been too tight, too hot, uncomfortable to wear after awhile, or had terrible sound quality…. Until I tried this one out!! I was hooked on this one instantly and already delegated my old headsets to the kids!!! First and most important to me is the comfort and sound quality. 5 stars all day!!! Insanely comfortable and the sound quality upgrade was noticeably louder and more clear. One of my favorite features is the LED indicator at the end of the mic, it’s such a simple yet effective way to check the status of the microphone. I can’t imagine not having it on all my headsets now. This really is the perfect headset.

This is not a laptop. It’s so much more. Meet Combo Touch, the keyboard case with trackpad that enables new levels of versatility with iPad Air. Navigate and work in apps like never before with a new click-anywhere trackpad — our largest ever* — that gives you more space and allows for Multi-Touch trackpad gestures. SMART CONNECTOR technology helps to deliver an incredibly responsive trackpad experience and also makes powering and pairing the keyboard instant. Type comfortably for hours with laptop-like backlit keys that automatically adjust to your environment. You can always see what you're typing thanks to 16 levels of brightness. Enjoy convenient access to volume controls and more with a full row of iPadOS shortcut keys. The iPad Air meets its aesthetic match with a slim, sleek design — the thinnest keyboard case we've ever designed with a trackpad. * The elegant woven outer fabric feels as great as it looks and the case is molded to fit your iPad Air, protecting the front, back, and corners from scrapes and bumps. Your iPad Air is held securely in place so you can have peace of mind that it won’t slip out and focus on what matters most — getting things done. *Compared to Logitech keyboard cases with trackpad released in 2020.

This is the perfect accessory for your iPad. I cannot imagine using my iPad without this accessory. It makes it more functional, easier to hold and read or use it in any capacity. But it’s also very sharp looking, it fits in perfect with the Apple products and looks like it belongs on this iPad. The fabric exterior is nice and “grippy” for me, but looks very premium too. Typing on this keyboard is an upgrade to previous cases I’ve used, great tactile feedback on the keys and the perfect size for me to type on. My favorite part of this is the trackpad, I cannot imagine not having a trackpad on my folio now. It’s the game changer that turns the iPad the laptop killer for me. Love it!

I have been using my Logitech G432 as my primary gaming headset, but it recently stopped working out of nowhere. This is a great replacement! It’s similar to my old headset, but fits me better and feels lighter. I LOVE the feature to mute the mic by just lifting it up. Super convenient and intuitive, along with the volume controls. The elastic headband helps with a snug but comfortable fit, and the ear ups are very soft and comfortable to wear for several consecutive hours. Volume levels are good and sound quality is impressive, especially for this price point.

This thing is beautifully made, built like a tank, and simple to use…But it disappoints in several other areas for me. I’ve been using it daily for over two weeks, and lately the grinder stops grinding before it grinds all the beans. The beans don’t fall down into the chute themselves, they get hung up or something. I have to actually leave the lid off and poke the beans down into the grinder with a butter knife or spoon handle. I’m not sure if the angle of the hopper isn’t steep enough? But it will not grind all the beans and stops well before the hopper is empty. Then, I use the knocker to knock off any loose grounds, and when I remove the cup, there are always grounds all over the silicon lid and all over the counter. The other thing that bugs me is the “fins” inside the cup, I believe they’re intended to guide the grounds or beans like a spout, but they just get grounds hung up on them and make more of a mess. The adjustment of this is nice, and I like the guide on the underside of the lid, I just wish it was more efficient at grinding. The sound level is much quieter than my old grinder. Overall I want to love it, and I will continue to use it. Hopefully it gets better!

This case has made my iPad my new daily carry, it literally makes carrying my laptop unnecessary. It’s lighter, smaller, and now just as functional as my bulky, heavy laptop!
I love the feel and finish of the folio and keyboard, it’s grippy, but not too rough. It’s almost like denim, and will remind you if your favorite pair of jeans! Now, down to the most important features… not the ones that that you may think are important, but the ones that you’ll find yourself using day after day… The storage for the Apple Pencil is essential, I just need it and this case has it. Would I like to see a more secure storage method? Sure. But after using this daily for several weeks I have not had the pencil pop off once. Not one time. It’s been in and out of my bag and used daily. So turns out it’s fine! The next feature is the fact that this used the smart connector on the iPad to attach. Why is that important? A few reasons actually… first, it eliminates the need to charge this case separately from having to charge your iPad!!! I cannot tell you how convenient that is! On my old case I have another usb cable just to charge my keyboard and it got annoying quick. It also means that I can quickly detach this keyboard from my iPad and use it separately, more like a traditional desktop keyboard. This is exciting for a few reasons, but mostly because it’s more comfortable end ergonomic!
Overall, this is the best case and keyboard I’ve ever used, and absolutely 5 stars! I love the new features, love the finish and feel, and now love using my iPad more than my laptop!

Improve your audio experience with this Samsung three-channel soundbar. This unit, which has a built-in subwoofer, channels high-resolution full-spectrum sound and eliminates the need for an extra bass speaker. Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.
The soundbar comes with the wires to connect it right?
It comes with an optical cable to connect it to a TV, but supports connectivity via Bluetooth, Wi-FI (Samsung only, certain models), and HDMI cable (not included). I used Optical cable and it works perfect.
