Surveillance with future potential
on August 10, 2020

I’m very excited to upgrade and use the updated version of Night Owl Security.
Unboxing:
1TB hard drive DVR
Mouse
4 Coax set of wires
4 cameras
Night Owl decal stickers
Quick start manual
2 Power supply for DVR and cameras
4 packs of mounting hardware for cameras

Mouse
4 Coax set of wires
4 cameras
Night Owl decal stickers
Quick start manual
2 Power supply for DVR and cameras
4 packs of mounting hardware for cameras
Installation:
This was easy for me to install because I had an existing Night Owl system which used coax wires. I did have to adjust the existing drilled holes because I did not want to drill more holes to my house. The most difficult part of the install was the hard to reach areas. To make sure everything was perfect and cleanup took about 4 hours.

App:
I did download the Night Owl Protect app because of the convenience of checking the cameras whenever I decided. The UI for the Night Owl is much nicer and user friendly to navigate. I included some pictures that have the app in use. It also allows you to use the Apple Touch ID to securely log in the app.

Quality:
I’m not happy with the quality of the DP2 compared to my older Night Owl security systems. This DP2 is all plastic compared to my older Night Owl system that was made of aluminum. I’m not sure how well they will hold up with the outside elements but I will wait and see.

Setup:
Adding the DVR and cameras to my app was very easy. All I did was use my login on both the app and the DVR. All is done using 2 step verification.
To conclude my review, I do want to mention that this is an improvement from my older security system of 5 years. The image appears sharper with more detail and it has a spotlight that activates when the camera senses motion.

Cons:
-Event playback and live feed play have some lag. I do have high speed internet so the connection is not the issue.
-The DVR do not have a digital or any type of indicator. (Maybe it’s for stealth)
-DVR gets hot quickly even at a ventilated area.
-The overall quality of the materials used seems cheaper than my older Night Owl.

Pros:
-Better image at 1080p especially during the daytime.
-Capable of adding 16 cameras
-I can add or remove users in the app.
-Finding footages are much easier using the Night Owl Protect app.
-DP2 is small and allows you to use less space.
-I was able to use my existing coax wire from my old Night Owl.

I have more pros listed and for that reason I would recommend the DP2. If the Night Owl team continues to update the app and hardware of the DP2 I think it will get better. With no monitoring fees I’m sticking with Night Owl.

Great to have lightweight earbuds
on July 8, 2020
Posted by: DSPARKA
from Pennsylvania
Contents:
* Pair of Surface Earbuds
* Charging/storage case
* 3 sets of silicone earbuds (sizes S/M/L)
* USB cable
* Quick start/Manual, Safety and warranty documents
All the contents was packed perfectly in a box. It had wordings inside such as “find your fit” and I think that touch makes it more exciting during the unboxing experience.
My surface earbuds was shipped with some charge which allowed me to immediately start my setup and available update.
After the setup, my earbuds are now able to connect automatically after I take them out the box and place them in my ear. I get a voice notification “connected” that lets me know it’s connected and ready for use.
Comfort:
Right out the box the surface earbuds was comfortable. I did not even need change to any of the included silicone ear tips but it’s good to have them just in case. They are very light and with the good grip I’m able to do a lot and not worry about them falling out of my ear because they are secured in my ear. To get the secure fit all I do is a little twist and I double check by doing a light pull on the surface earbuds.
Visual Appeal:
I like the look of the surface earbuds more out of my ear than in my ear because I think they are just a bit on the big side. It’s new so I think maybe I need to get used to them. Right now I keep thinking people might be wondering what are these big looking disks in my ear which can also be a cool thing.

Audio Quality:
They sound so good. I’m now hearing extra sounds from music I listened to. They make me want to play all my favorite songs over just to find out how much better the quality is.
To get customized sounds I use the app which have different presets that I can also adjust and save my own presets. I like that I can hear great detail sounds it provides and I can also hear what’s around me. This is a safety feature to me because I like knowing what is happening around me.

Touch control:
-Left earbud
(Swipe forward to skip the track or swipe back to go to previous track)
(Double tap to pause or play)
(Touch and hold for 2 seconds to activate SIRI)
-Right earbud
(Swipe down to lowering the volume or swipe up to turn up the volume)
(Double tap to pause or play)
(Double tap to answer or hang up your phone)
(Touch and hold for 2 seconds to activate SIRI)
All the gestures respond well to the touch and do what I intended.

Battery Life:
With only the initial charge I’m on day 4 and I think I have a few more hours left before a recharge. With the charging case serving as a storage and juice pack I don’t think I will have issues with them not being ready on the go. The charging case have led indicators to let you know about errors and when successfully completed an action on the charging case.
Solid red= battery needs charge
Flashing red= earbuds are not in the case correctly
Flashing white= earbuds are placed in case correctly and charging
Solid white= charged and connected to device

Voice Controls:
To activate voice assistant I can say “hey SIRI” or when I touch and hold any of the earbuds for about 2 seconds it activates my SIRI voice assistant. From there you can ask it questions or any other information you need. I can get the weather, make calls, play music and more.
I’m really surprised on how well it works with the iPhone.

Pros:

-Sound quality is great and it allows me to hear a lot of details in what I’m listening like it was intended to by the artists.
-Very good battery life. I used it lightly for 4 days and I was still on the same charge.
-I’m able to leave the right earbud on to use SIRI and be on calls.

Access your favorite streaming service with this 75-inch Hisense H8 Quantum series Android TV. The ULED display and Dolby Atmos sound combine to give you a cinematic feel in the comfort of your home, while Chromecast built in lets you cast content from compatible devices for limitless entertainment. This Alexa-enabled Hisense H8 Quantum series Android TV features a voice-activated remote and Google Assistant, so you can quickly find and stream the latest blockbuster.
Posted by: DSPARKA
from Pennsylvania
Shipment box included:
75H8G TV
Stand + screws
Voice remote
125v power plug
2 AA batteries
Manuals
Unboxing:
Especially because of the size I had help with handling the HiSense 75H8G tv. Not having any assistance would of greatly increase the likelihood of me damaging my new tv.
Experience and setup:
I followed the manual’s instructions to get the information I needed to properly install the HiSense, so the setup was easy. I had the tv laying on the couch with the screen facing the soft cushions to install the legs/stands. No HDMI cables are included but FYI the HiSense have 4 HDMI ports.
When I powered the HiSense 75H8G for the first time it walked me through the main steps of the setup such as network, Google and a few extras.
Fun stuff:
Must I say more after it is 75 inches of screen? This TV is picture perfect especially because I have the right setup, with a sound bar and a tv stand that holds it up like the trophy it is.
I can download apps from the Google Play store because the HiSense 75H8G is powered by Android.
My sound bar supports Dolby Atmos so I get the theatre sound because the H8G has it built in.
This is the Quantum Series I get to experience more pixels in Dolby Vision HDR quality. This tv is a true smart tv because it uses artificial intelligence to adjust the picture and sound all while I’m watching.
I can see more upgrades coming out for the H8G because of the OTA update capabilities and the chipset it has that is powerful enough to handle future upgrades.
With streaming being so popular I can have all my apps downloaded and have access to them right from my main screen layout or I can use simple voice commands because the tv have the Google Assistant built in.
I think this tv is fully loaded for the price compared to many other 4K ULED tv manufacturers. After a week of viewing I know many people will love it like I do.
My favorites:
-Size and the picture quality. I’m going to show off this tv proudly because it is definitely worthy.
-Google Assistant feature. I’m a big user of the Google Home and this is a plus.
-Small bezel. This is ultra thin and I feel like I get more screen.
My dislikes:
I’m not a big fan of the remote. Feels like as soon as I drop it, I’m going to need a replacement.
The legs of the tv is too tall for my setup. I would of prefer for it to make the tv closer to the tv stand.
Final thought:
I think this is a bargain tv for the price and what it has to offer. I do wish it holds up with no issues with the quality but I can now say after a week I’m very happy with my new HiSense 75H8G Quantum Series tv. This is my personal review of it but please comment with any questions.

Full-size cleaning without the cord. Full-size Bin. Full-size cleaner head. Now with full-size bin and full-size cleaner head for full-size cleaning, without the cord. ¹ Tested at the cleaner head to ASTM F558, dust-loaded.² Runtime based on consecutive use of two battery packs. Actual runtime will vary based on power mode, floor type, and/or attachments used.³In Boost mode. All other modes achieve at least 99.97% filtration.

So much power can be in the palm of my hand and that happens every time I’m using the Dyson V11 outsize. With the new Dyson V11 outsize you get extra suction power and the dust bin hold much more. You can see the picture that I included to show what it picked up from my carpet the first time I used it. I like that the V11 outsize is that more powerful and don’t limit your cleaning because of a cord. As I’m spending more time using the V11 outsize I do notice it’s learning capabilities.
My favorite feature besides leaving my floors clean is the LCD screen. I now know exactly how much time I have left before it needs a recharge and if it goes dead I have a backup battery to finish my vacuum cleaning.
Performance:
I decided to clean my carpet using the boost mode and within minutes the bin was filled. That shows me the suction power the V11 outsize have. That mode gave me about 30 minutes of vacuuming so if you need more time with the boost mode have the other battery charge so you can switch. There are also 2 other modes; auto and eco that will give much more time if the extra power is not really needed. I was able to easily change the attachment to the intelligent piece to do my floors conveniently. The bin is easy to empty like all of the other Dysons.
Quality:
The V11 outsize is made very well but the shiny coating may get scratched if you are not extra careful. The first day I used it I had paint marks from the wall. Small issue but I want to take care of this investment for years to come.
Storage:
I followed instructions and mounted the V11 outsize on the wall but I’m hoping the anchors that they provided are strong enough for the weight. I noticed it doesn’t have room to store the extra battery and bigger intelligent attachment. I would of love to have everything stored together for more convenience.
Conclusion:
Dyson is known for great technology especially in vacuums and I now have there newest technology with features that makes my cleaning easier to live a healthier life. I know I will get a lot of use with the V11 outsize. Everyone may have a different reason but the one thing we all want is cleaning power and with this Dyson you get it and more.

Take professional-grade pictures with this Sony wireless shooting grip. Bluetooth technology allows cable-free connection to compatible cameras, while the contoured design helps increase stability and comfort during use. This Sony wireless shooting grip has a flexible tilt function for positioning the camera, and the integrated legs spread to create a tripod for hands-free operation.
Posted by: DSPARKA
from Pennsylvania
Contents for my shooting grip included the following items: Wireless remote shooting grip, small pouch, CR2032 battery, and instructions.
This Shooting Grip With Wireless Remote Commander from Sony has a lot of different uses. It can be a small tripod, that comes handy for videos or for group photos. I think bloggers will love it for the videos because it can be placed on a table and the shooting grip can get adjusted to just about any angle.
It can be a shooting grip. With the 2 legs folded it becomes a shooting grip. With 1 hand you can take videos and pictures. The main buttons are placed for the reach of your thumb. You can also zoom in and out using the shooting grip. The grip is not long but it also makes taking selfies a lot easier with this camera and your risk of dropping your camera is less.
This is Bluetooth wireless so you don’t have to worry about extra wires. The paring is easy. All you do is turn Bluetooth pairing on from the camera menu and push the photo and the T button simultaneously on the shooting grip for about 7 seconds. A confirmation message will later appear and select ok after.
After using the shooting grip (GP-VPT2BT) I find it easy to use with my Sony a6100 camera. It did not add much weight to the camera so I can say it made using the camera more comfortable for most shooting angles. I plan on always leaving it attached for possible use and save the step of attaching it back on.
This is definitely something to later add to your camera investment. It matches the a6100 perfectly and helps me be one step closer to being a professional.

A camera that helps make you a professional

I was very reliant on using my phone to capture pictures of important life moments, but when I review the pictures they do not capture all the details like intended. I envied people with the hd pictures but many carried around a big camera with a hefty price tag. While doing research on the perfect camera I came across the Sony Alpha 6100. After reading all the listed features I questioned if that can all be true. So I decided to get the Alpha 6100 because it seems to fit my current needs and I can also upgrade it with accessories if I want to do more with the pictures I’m capturing.
The Alpha 6100 camera that I received came packaged with a shoulder strap, lens protection, SELP1650 zoom lens, ac adaptor, rechargeable battery pack, memory card, micro USB cable, and eyepiece cushion.
I charged the camera for 2 hours and I was ready to start taking pictures. I turned the dial to auto and the Sony Alpha 6100 did every adjustments to make my pictures look amazing with my limited skill of photography.
When I went through all the options on the dial it gave a detail summary of what the functions do and showed a picture example of when to use it. I have the option to use the eyepiece or the digital display to view or take pictures.
After recording videos and viewing them I fell more in love with this camera. The movies are true 4K but with that setting I’m not sure how much memory space it use.
I downloaded the imaging edge mobile app and I have more features such as mobile control. I can set my camera and use my phone to capture the picture. I was able to transfer the pictures that I took on the Alpha 6100 easily to my smartphone or computer so I can share or do edits.

What I like most is when I have the dial set on auto it detects the object that I’m shooting and indicates it on the display. It is usually accurate and makes taking pictures with the Alpha 6100 easier.
This camera exceeded my expectations and though I’m not a professional photographer my pictures are incredible. I get compliments on the pictures I take now and the Alpha 6100 produce pictures at a professional level. I did not have a professional camera before the Sony Alpha 6100 but it definitely gave my brother’s C brand camera competition and outshines it in many categories.
I would of love to have a carrying case included to protect this great camera from Sony. I also kept trying to take a picture while recording and I was unable to. I’m not sure if I’m missing a step but I’m guessing that’s not an available feature.
Sony showed great innovation with the Alpha 6100 camera and I’m telling people how good it is at every chance I get.
I included a picture with the auto setting that shows how the camera was able to make my selected target a focus.

The Aurora R9 arrived well packaged, good care was given to keeping the tower safe during transport. The case itself is very nice with gorgeous LEDs. The front has 3 USB ports in easy reach, along with ports for headphones and microphone. There were plenty more USB ports in the back for things you will not be unplugging often. By removing a screw from the back and pulling on the handle, I was able to open the side door and take a look inside. Space and cable management were well done and build quality looks to be superb as I would expect from a premium gaming PC like Alienware. To get to the internals of the PC you must flip up two switches on the back of the computer. This allows you to swing the power supply outwards, revealing the motherboard and cpu.
Some things to note here. This machine comes with the 512 GB SSD as your main boot drive, and a 1 TB mechanical drive for storage. As we’ve all seen in recent years game download sizes have absolutely exploded, with many AAA titles now clocking in at over 50 GB. Its reasonable to assume that most people will only be able to fit 3-5 games on the main SSD along with your Windows 10 install and all the other programs you will need. That 1 TB drive is going to fill up quick so you will want to look for more storage. Here is where I ran into a slight problem. I had intended to pull the 4 GB storage drive from my old PC and add it to the machine, only to find that the two empty drive caddies will only take 2.5 drives. There is only 1 bay for 3.5 drives, which is filled by the 1 TB drive. My options were to either remove the 1 TB and replace it with my 4 TB drive, or get an external enclosure. As I did not want to waste the 1 TB drive, the option I am going with is an external enclosure. Be aware that if you want to expand your storage (and lets face it, these days 1.5 gb total storage isn’t much) your options will be to get a dedicated external HD, buy only 2.5 drives (you can add up to 2 of them to the machine), or remove the 1 TB drive and replace it with a larger drive.
Moving on to the performance part, Windows loaded lightning fast. Less than 15 seconds to press the power button, boot, type my password, and have everything load. It did not take me long to install a few programs needed to get gaming. I installed both Doom and Code Vein and spent a few hours on each. Doom ran absolutely flawlessly on ultra settings at 1080p, as did Code Vein. Not once did I see any hint of slowdown on either title for the entire session. Solid 100+ FPS in both titles. Based on pure specs alone this machine should be able to handle both 1440p and 4k gaming at good frame rates on almost any current title. Checking the other reviews people have mentioned the fan has been a problem, but while playing for hours I did not hear the fan kick on much at all, the machine was very quiet during that time. I will note however, that while installing the games the CPU was obviously pushed harder and those times the fan did kick in, and it was loud for a few moments before settling down. Not unbearably so, but some are more annoyed by it than others.
The machine also came with a very basic keyboard and mouse, which make for an okay backup but not what you want for playing games. If you’re buying a machine at this level of pricing, I am going to assume the user already has a quality gaming mouse and keyboard combo that they like. Like most PCs these days it does not have a disc drive of any kind. For me this isn’t a problem as I had not used the one on my old PC in over 2 years, but be aware that if for some reason you need one you’ll want to get an external optical drive. The CPU is the i7-9700 and not the i7-9700k, so if you want to play around with overclocking this rig probably isn’t for you. If you just want a fast rig that looks pretty that you can plug in and start installing games on in a minimal amount of time and don’t bother with that kind of thing, this machine will definitely suit your needs for some time. Testing the specs of this machine on UserBenchmark had this machine rated well over 100% in all categories. Unless you want to spend significantly more money (well over $1,000 as of this review) to get to the next tier of performance, the R9 is a very solid choice.

Ear full of great sound!

This is definitely one of if not the best set of headphones I’ve owned. The Skullcandy Crusher is flat out impressive, from the great sounds it delivers all the way to the wonderful packaging. As soon as you open up the box the first thing you’ll notice is the thought and quality that went into the design of the headphones. This model is equipped with personalized sound, it gives you a quick sound test on both ears and afterwards lets you create your own customized sound setting. If I had to narrow it down I would have to say the feature I really enjoyed the most is the noise canceling feature, it works great when I’m trying to enjoy some R&R time in a crowded noisy environment. These Skullcandy Crusher wireless headphones will make a great gift or a nice treat for yourself. The only reason I’m not giving this a 5 out of 5 is because in some applications when using the phone jack you can’t control the volume up and down feature but besides that it’s thumbs up all the way.
Design:
-Elegant two tone color that is also padded to add comfort for longer wear.
-Controls are readily available on the headphone for some quick adjustments.
-The Skullcandy Crusher is foldable and comes with a carrying case to protect and store your quality investment.
Features:
-Noise canceling is top on my list because I can really get rid of all the unwanted noise around me and really focus on the music the way the artist wanted you to hear it.
-The Skullcandy app help you take the customizing to another level. Best way to get more quality sound out of your premium headphone.
Ending view:
You will not be disappointed on the purchase of the Skullcandy Crusher wireless headphone if you take the time to learn the app and features. The sound quality is superb compared to other headphones I used. Download the app and adjust the different settings until you get your perfect setting. These are my new go to and I’m glad I now own them. I’m recommending them because of the great sound quality and comfort.

This is why I decided to try the Theragun G3Pro. My fiancé sometimes have back spasms because she is on her feet all day and after I workout I feel sore a few days after. We have been trying to find a solution. We tried professional couples massages and they are great but who really want to add that to their reoccurring monthly bills. Chiropractor maybe would probably help but again the cost is not realistic when it’s not a 1 time thing. Then came along the Theragun and I think this might solve the back spasms, muscle aches and it already make up for the cost after a few uses.
Appearance and operation:
The Theragun has a futuristic appearance and all it takes is a push of a button to start. It is fully adjustable and it allows me to massage my hard to reach areas. After I finish my workout or a run I immediately try to use it as I relax my muscles. I feel the difference because I have soreness when I do not use the Theragun after my workouts. I find it more effective when I have my fiancé use the Theragun on my muscles and she don’t need to do much except move it around. Each rechargeable battery keep a charge for about an hour and a half which is plenty of time to get a great massage. The added attachments make it easy to customize your massage the way you want and one of the attachments even mimics a thumb to get a human like feel on your lower back.
My ending takeaway:
The Theragun is very simple to use. I could of easily figure everything about using it without the manual. It feels very sturdy in my hands and that lets me know the quality is good. The ahhhmazing! feeling I get when using this is something that is hard to explain. I will certainly recommend the Theragun G3Pro because of the fact that my muscles are no longer uncomfortable with soreness. It is the perfect portable handheld massage that is around to make my soreness feel more like awesome-ness. This is a cost effective way to invest in making your body feel good. My only con is it sounds a bit noisy but the noise does not affect the performance.

Immerse your gaming with detail sound
on June 26, 2019

Sound
After playing a few hours of Call of Duty on PS4 I can write this with confidence that the sound quality is outstanding. I was able to hear the detail sounds that the game developers wanted gamers to hear. I performed really well when I used the Astro A50 because I heard the footsteps and environment game changes better. I’m impressed on how much of a difference it made playing my game using the new A50. The new Astro A50 supports Dolby audio and I can turn it on or off right from the headset. Also it has a mic that I can slide down to talk or have it up to mute my chats. During the game with a simple click on the right side of the headset I can balance the voice and game sound. To help fine tune the game experience we can also download a free software to further customize the A50.
Battery
I played for about 3-4 hours and I only lost only 1 out of 4 lights that indicates how much power I have remaining. This is a great thing because pro gamers will have plenty of time before needing a recharge. For my gaming I think over 15 hours from every battery recharge is more than I will be needing.
Comfort
The headset is very comfortable because it is wireless, lightweight, softly padded on my head and over my ears. The frame is sturdy and it don’t press uncomfortably on my ears. The headset is comfortable to where I can lay on my back while wearing them and remain comfortable.
Style
The new A50 is a great looking gaming headset. I’ve seen a few ugly gaming headsets but the A50 is not in that category. I get pro quality audio and futuristic style with the new Astro A50.
Cons
-Padding on the headset are not leather. If premium is the aim I think the leather would make it more elegant for the price. I did read that the padding are removable to interchange to any liking but I have not explore that yet to determine if it’s worth the extra cost for me.
-No auto off feature to preserve battery when not in use.
Pros
-Wireless with a charging dock for easy battery recharge.
-On the headset the controls are at fingertips reach to make it easy to adjust preferred settings.
Final opinion
Meets my expectations with sound quality and this is a great headset for novice and pro gamers. I think the setup was also very easy to follow for my PS4 and I like the option to use it with my PC. I believe this is a good product and I would recommend trying it before deciding on your next gaming headset. I like the surround sound the A50 headset produce and the soft white indicators. The indicators are all easy to see and give me visual of everything important when I’m using the A50. I took 1 star away only because of the price and the padding not being leather.
