Autofocus can be frustrating
on December 28, 2019
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
The pictures on this camera really are great and that’s why it makes it hard for me to leave such a low rating. The pictures are crisp and the built in filters on the camera make shooting good shots easy. But, the autofocus on this thing does have a tendency to drive you insane.
There were times when the autofocus worked as expected. Then there were times it was noticeably slow, and then there were times it wouldn’t focus at all. Even with the great pictures this camera takes, not being able to rely on the focus makes this really hard to recommend.
This thing also shoots up to 4K video that looks amazing. The video is butter smooth and crystal clear. I could see this thing being great for shooting quick videos that don’t need a ton of editing.
Overall, I loved the great pictures and videos this camera gave me but, the below average autofocus left me wanting more.

Battery technology has come a very long way. I thought there was no way a battery powered wet vac could produce anywhere near enough suction to be useful but, man was I wrong. This vac makes quick work of big messes and is a great vac to have on hand for quick messes that you don’t or can’t use your indoor vac for.
I’ve used this vac to clean out three months worth of ashes from the fireplace and this vac got it cleaned up in minutes. My fireplace hasn’t looked this clean since I bought the house. And what’s even better is that I didn’t need to worry about cords or finding a free outlet. From there I took it outside to clean charcoal ashes out of my grill, which it did great. Not having to worry about cords makes this vac so convenient.
Pros:
Cordless. You wouldn’t believe how much easier it is to get stuff clean when you don’t have to worry about a long cord. You won’t want to go back.

Great suction. This vac will get just about anything cleaned up.
Roles anywhere with ease.
Cons:
Battery life. The vac lasts about 15 minutes, which will get most jobs done but, if you have a big job, you’ll need another battery. A larger size battery would really be nice.

The tool straps aren’t very tight. I wish they would have used molded plastic snaps to hold the tools rather than the elastic straps.
Overall this is an awesome vac that will be very useful if you need to clean up a wet mess or other outdoor or garage messes, especially if you have other Onepwr tools.

Light Show in Your Living Room
on December 6, 2019
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
This absolutely seems like the best use of Philips Hue color light bulbs. The Sync box lets you turn your living room into an immersive light show for music or a TV viewing experience like nothing you’ve ever seen. The sync box works really well for what it was designed to do, though there are a few drawbacks that kept me from giving this product 5 stars.
The Good:
The sync works almost instantly. I’ve noticed no lag between the TV colors and the light colors and the matching is perfect. There are several intensity settings and brightness settings for your lights so, you can tweak them how you like. There are also different settings for TV, games, and music that make the lights respond differently. The biggest difference I’ve seen is that the music scene responds to the beat of the music. I’m very pleased with how well this all works, it really does make your view experience better.

I’m very pleased with how well this all works, it really does make your view experience better.
The Bad:
Setup: This was my main problem with the sync box, it took me several attempts to get it setup right. The setup process takes you through settings up all your lights and making sure your sync box is working to control your lights but, if you have a sound bar that supports arc or a home theater system, things get tricky. The sync box does support arc bypass, so in theory you can put the sync box in between the tv and your AV unit and it should work and their shouldn’t be any change to your setup. The problem is that it’s very spotty. When I’d switch between inputs I’d lose sound or for some reason the sync box would change inputs to an hdmi port with nothing plugged in. My next problem here is that all of the arc settings and auto hdmi switching is buried in settings and not brought into the setup process like they should. I finally gave up and just plugged the sync box into hdmi 1 on my sound at and now everything works but, that means I can’t use my analog inputs from the sound at to work with the hue lights.

Input Limitations:
This was another bummer, if you run smart apps directly on your TV or through coax, this product won’t work because, you have to run things through the hdmi ports on the sync box.

Very Little to Get Excited About
on November 29, 2019
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
I really wanted to like this watch. It looked really nice and I haven’t had an Android Wear OS smart watch in several years, so I thought it would be more polished. I was very wrong. If you are using an iPhone, I can’t think of any reason to recommend this watch.
Out of the box things look good, the watch looks nice and of good quality however, for me things hit a snag almost immediately.
Wear OS is probably the main problem. Though, the sub par processor and low ram couldn’t help. It’s slow, buggy, not smooth at all, and lacks apps worth using. With an iPhone you can’t do basic fitness tracking sync your calendar and view notifications, though sometimes the notifications don’t even show up. You can’t interact with those notifications, which makes the watch not near as useful as other products.
What’s even more annoying is that to get apps on the watch you have to use the google play store on the watch and the watch has to be connected to WiFi. The whole experience is awful.
The biggest problem I had was trying to get my work calendar to sync to the watch, only to find out there is no way to sync exchange calendars to the watch.
The watch itself isn’t very comfortable either. The clasp dug into my arm after wearing it for a while and even loosening it didn’t help. It does have the standard Android Wear OS interchangeable bands so, you could switch it out.
Battery life is pretty awful too. If you do anything other than just let the watch sit on your wrist to tell time and pop up notifications, you won’t get a full day out of it. This would have been fine several years ago but, not with other options out there.
Overall, there really isn’t much to like. It may be cheaper than some other options but, this is one time where you get what you pay for. If all you’re looking for is something to tell time and show notifications from your phone this may work but, if you want anything else, looks elsewhere.

I’ve owned a Nespresso before and loved it but, this thing takes it to a whole new level. The coffee drinks this machine gives you will make you think you never need to go to a coffee shop again.
What’s in the box:
In the box you get the machine and an assortment of coffee pods to try out. Nespresso gives you lots of different roasts to let you find your favorite.

The taste:
In short incredible. It tastes a thousand times better than competing coffee pod machines. This truly is a high quality coffee maker. Each espresso pod pours with a beautiful crema that is delicious and the milk drinks come out perfectly frothed every time.

Getting the pods from the Nespresso app is super easy and they offer free one day delivery on all coffee orders over $50. There are tons of great options for you to explore.
I honestly have no complaints about this coffee machine. If you want espresso drinks in a quick and easy way and don’t want to sacrifice taste, get this espresso maker. You won’t be disappointed.

Fun Goofy Little Photo Gizmo

Posted by: Clshipp91

I’ll give it to Polaroid, they are trying to stay relevant in a smartphone age and I was a little surprised how cool I thought the Originals Lab was. You absolutely need to know what you are getting, this isn’t going to print HD quality prints but, if you want retro looking Polaroids of your favorite pictures, this really does a good job.
Using the Originals lan is fairly straightforward. Charge it up with a micro usb, download the Polaroid app, select a photo, and set the phone face down on the photo lab. In seconds you’ll have a Polaroid that looks like you used a real Polaroid camera. I was really shocked at how well it worked and how good the pictures looked.
Now, you aren’t going to have crystal clear pictured because that’s just not what this is but, it doesn’t look like someone took a picture of a phone screen either.
The app is pretty easy to use. You can select any photo you want and print it out as a single or make a collage type thing with up to 9 Polaroids. That’s going to be expensive but, still pretty cool.
There’s also an AR mode where you can embed videos into the Polaroid and when you scan the picture with the app you see a video. It really doesn’t work well and not really sure why you would ever use it.
But, all around it does exactly what it was designed to do, give you a way to get instant Polaroids of any picture on your phone in a very unique and fun way.

Just from Facebook’s adds you can tell who this is designed for. This things screams Grandma. If you are looking for a way to see kids or grand kids this is exactly what you need. It couldn’t be easier to video call someone than with the portal.
What I Like:
Facebook hit the nail on the head with the main feature of this device. Video calling works great and is super easy. Just connect Facebook or WhatsApp and you’re good to go. You can even put favorites on your home screen and start calling instantly.

The camera looks great and the face tracking feature is really cool, it will follow you around the room to keep you center frame during a call. Apparently Facebook isn’t saving your face or anything, just following you on the call but, I’ll let you be the judge there.
You can also setup a digital picture frame to use Facebook or instragram photos. I didn’t think I’d like this as much as I did but, given that the Portal looks like a picture frame it actually works well.
The speaker is also nice to listen to music, though the music services supported are sparse.
What’s OK
Alexa is there. This is my first Alexa device and while it supports all the voice features, I find it less accurate and useful than some of the other voice assists.

There are apps, though I’m not really sure who would be using apps on a big bulky picture frame. This definitely seems more like a voice controlled device.
What I don’t like
The stand for the device is very weird. It works most of the time but, if you use the portal in portrait mode, it is less than stable if you’re tapping near the top of the screen. I actually knocked mine off the table the first day and chipped the bezel of the Portal.

No YouTube or YouTube Music support. This was a big one for me given This device seems perfect for YouTube and I use YouTube music almost exclusively.
There is a shutter that physically obstructs the camera, which is great for privacy. But, it also keeps the Portal from picking up movement so once the screen times out and goes to sleep, the only way to get it back on is to tap the screen. Which makes the digital picture frame less appealing. And since there isn’t an option to turn off sleep mode (max is 1 hour on) your only option is to leave the camera uncovered, which is not ideal.
Overall it’s a niche product. If you have a need for video calling and use Facebook Messenger this is a good product for you. I wouldn’t recommend for Alexa or the apps though as you’ll have much better options for that.

This is How All Dashcams Should Be
on October 30, 2019
Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
What a cool gadget! I don’t know why this isn’t the design all dashcams use, it just makes sense. This is the first dashcam I’ve ever used that didn’t look like an awkward little box dangling from your windshield. The camera and screen are hidden behind a rear view mirror that doubles as a screen if you need it.
Setup isn’t too terrible, though it does involve running wires throughout your car and removing interior panels to hide them as well as connecting a wire to the reverse sensor if you plan to use the backup camera. I would recommend using an auto shop to install to make it look good.
Using the camera is pretty simple, there is a power button on the bottom to cycle through off mode, playback mode, and a mode with a little video and the time. The whole mirror is one big touchscreen so navigating the menus isn’t very hard. The screen is behind a two way mirror so the quality isn’t perfect but, it still looks good.
There’s also a gravity sensor that detects crashes and auto records and locks the footage, I haven’t had a chance to try it and hope I don’t but, it is nice to know the feature is there.
The backup camera works great, I’ve never had one in my truck before and am really happy how well this one works.
Overall this is by far the coolest backup camera I’ve ever used and given all the extra features; backup camera, hidden design, I don’t see myself ever needing another one.

The Swiss Army Knife of Computer Security

Where do I start, AVG’s Ultimate package really has everything you’d need to keep your computer running smoothly. It’s got your typical virus protection but, also has Tune Up software, VPN, and even a password management suite. This package really is all you need to keep your computer in tip top shape.
Installing the software is super easy, just put the activation code in to AVG’s website and it will download everything you need.
AVG’s virus software is pretty well known and will keep you browsing safe with its constantly updating virus catalog. And the Enhanced Firewall will keep the malicious attackers away.
The Tune Up software helps you manage background startup programs, system junk, and bloat. All in an easy to use dashboard.
The VPN software is something really useful that AVG threw in. It works in the background and nothing changes but, it’ll keep all your browsing safe from people trying to see your data.
I’m very impressed with how full featured this package is and AVG did a really good job making the dashboard easy to use and not over complicated. My only issue is the pop ups. By default AVG hits you with tons of pop ups and once your subscription ends it only gets worse. You can turn them off in the settings which is nice.
Pros
- everything you’d need to keep your computer safe
- easy to use dashboard

Posted by: Clshipp91
from Fort Worth, tx
Right off the bat, I was very impressed with the video quality on this camera. The 2k resolution rivals cameras twice as expensive. Govern quality is the most important aspect of a security camera, I think this alone warrants a look at this camera. It has great quality both night and day. I have mine above my garage and it captures all the way across the driveway and to the street, the wide angle lenses really does shine in scenarios like this.
The setup was fairly easy, though quirky. It involves scanning a QR code and listening to a bird sound to connect.
The app is fairly easy to use and add full featured as you’d want for a camera. It has options to record only when motion is detected. You can set a time frame for when you want to be notified, e.g. you only want notifications if motion is detected at night. You can also set the camera to record continuously which is nice. It will wore to the pre installed 16gb so card, which you can expand. It will automatically overwrite once it fills up. The only disadvantage I see here over cloud based cameras is that if some one takes the camera itself, you are out of luck because, all the video is stored on the camera.
One of the only problems I had was with WiFi. Forest, this camera doesn’t support 5ghz, which is a real bummer, especially trying to stream HD video. Also the range isn’t super great either. I had full signal on my phone where I wanted to mount the camera but, faces serious buffering issues with the camera. The camera does have an Ethernet option but, have fun running a 100ft Ethernet cable.
Other than that setup was easy, three screws and an extremely long power cable made setup a breeze.
The camera also lacked any smart home compatibility. As far as I can tell it doesn’t support Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, or HomeKit which is a real bummer.
Overall, for the money you can’t beat it but, it does have a few short comings.
Pros
- cheap
- great video
- easy setup
- cheap
- great video
- easy setup
Cons
- poor WiFi signal
- no smart home compatibility
- sticks out like a soar thumb

how do i use a flashdrive
Just plug it into the USB port, then go to "file explorer". In the left hand column of icons you should see your flashdrive. It will be near the "c:" drive on the list. Just drag and drop files to that icon to add things to the flash drive.
