Optimized for VHF and UHF frequencies, this RCA ANTB25 antenna works with most ATSC digital tuners and NTSC analog tuners when signals are present, including HDTV and standard definition, to offer a reliable backup for when storms block transmission.

Works well

This antenna works surprisingly well. It picked up 20+ channels and the reception is very good, considering this product is being used in a high-density city with tall buildings all around. HD broadcast channels actually looks much better -- clearer, sharper, brighter colors -- than the HD from our cable which appears to degrade the signal.

This was used by the installer. I don't expect it to give any problems.

Very good dishwasher

Amazingly quiet dishwasher. Good thing there is a red light shining on the floor when it is running. I would have preferred that the control buttons be visible when the unit is operating. The control panel is hidden when the door is shut, so we have to set the unit with all the options (including the "Start" button) before shutting the door. Also would have liked to have a "time remaining" screen. The dishes have to be loaded in the right manner to get the best washing. We don't like use a rinse aid (minimizing the use of chemicals) so we use the "extra dry" option. Dishes still come out with drops of water on them, but that happens with all modern dishwashers (didn't happen with my old 1990s Kenmore).

Easy to set up. Had to go to Comcast to activate the box, but that was easy and quick (5 minutes).

Share, stream and access stored media across your network. This Belkin router provides steady and reliable Wi-Fi coverage, even while everyone in the house is online.

Works as expected

I use it in...:Small home
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a replacement for a LinkSys router that was too weak to send signals 60 feet from one end of my house to the other. The Belkin is slightly better, but showing three out of four bars. Set up was easy, just followed directions. However, getting it to work through their web site was a problem, which is also what happened with my previous router. Belkin tech service helped me through the installation and got it up and running in about 15 minutes. Their first recommendation was "Can you use Firefox to set up instead of Internet Explorer?". I seem to be getting more of this lately.

Does this modem work with Cincy Bell Zoomtown? All everyone's mentioning is TWC.

I don't know about Cincy Bell or TWC. I have tried to use this Zoom cable modem in two locations. In both cases, I was trying to replace the Comcast cable modem (to save the monthly fee). Works great in one location in the Midwest (see my earlier review), but in the Pacific Northwest, the same model did not (could not log onto the internet even with the LAN cable attached). Two Comcast technicians found out it required too much manipulation of each of my computer's settings, like the cmos, internet parameters, etc. Weird. Had to go with a Motorola Arris Surfboard instead which I also got from Best Buy and it worked nicely after Comcast activated it.

Sound able to be heard through closed window?

Can one hear sound through closed window?
One of my cameras face the street from inside the building. I can hear passing trucks, the lawn mower next door, etc. with all the windows and doors shut, on both my computer and iPhone app when I am away from the building

add on camera

Can you get add on cameras for this one
I have three separate cameras in one location. I am able to review, modify, change the setup, etc. of each camera on the Samsung smartcamera web site. My iPhone app also allows me to see everything the cameras see, but the iPhone app is not as flexible for modifying, changing the setup, etc. Better to use a computer logged on to the Samsung web site.

What if burglar just steals the camera and SD card?

You should be able to set up to record events on the Samsung SmartCamera web site.

How is the quality sound on the two way spaker system?

do you need to be standing close to the camera to speak? Is there background noise that makes it hard to hear the voice of the person talking through the speaker?
No and no. When I check my camera (inside my family room) on my iPhone from around the country and the world, I can hear conversations, the TV in the room, cars passing by outside (if the windows are open), very clearly. These sounds are coming from as much as 20 feet away.

distance from router

How far from the router can the camera be placed? I want to put it in my kennel, 200 feet from router.
I have one camera about 40 feet away from the router. Still excellent detail and no drop-off in transmission. I suggest you go to the kennel and check if your smartphone can still get your WiFi signal. If it does, then chances are that the camera will also be within range of the router.

Keep an eye on your home or business with this D-Link DCS-5020L wireless network camera, which features 10 IR LEDs for round-the-clock surveillance. A downloadable app enables remote monitoring with a compatible Apple® or Android device.
 

Is it secure ?

About as secure as anything on the internet, if you are using WiFi to connect your smartphone/laptop to your camera. And remember that many manufacturers require you to register your cameras on their company web sites, and will store some or all of the video, depending on how much storage you are given. Then your videos belong to, or at least are accessible to, the company, depending on what the fine print says.

Does this WiFi device interfere with standard home WiFi systems

SHort answer is no. However, it depends on the speed of your home internet. I have 25 Mbps from Infinity and there is no problem with two cameras, three computers, two iPhones and occasional download of TV content, sometimes all going on at the same time! Your problem will come when you are away and want to view your camera video on your iPhone/tablet/laptop and you are using low power WiFi, e.g., with scores of other users in a public place like a coffee shop or hotel lobby. Then everything s-l-o-w-s down.

Does this video camera require a service fee to receive ISO notification and video feeds

No fee and this is a really good feature about the Samsung camera, in addition to very good quality views and sound. You have to register with the Samsung CAMERA web site (not the general Samsung site) to get going, even if you use a smartphone to do all your viewing. You will have to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer since the site requires you download webviewer.exe (which does not work on Google Chrome or Chrome laptops). Each camera has to be registered, given its own name and password.

How many cameras can be used on the same wifi network in the same home?

Is there a limit on the quantity of cameras I can use in the same installation and is there an address switch on the camera and do you look at a camera video live shot individually on the smartphone?
I have two cameras that I view on the Samsung camera web site and on my iPhone 4S. On both, it lets you register additional cameras. Doesn't look like there is a limit if you are want to view the scene live, but I bet Samsung may put a limit on the amount of video storage you can use on their site (not an issue if you store your video or images on an SD card).
On the smartphone, you (1) open the app, (2) log in with your username and password, though these can be "remembered", (3) the next screen lists all your cameras (give each one a different name), (4) select the one you want to view (only one at a time), (5) wait a few seconds depending on the speed of your internet connection, and (6) you camera view come on screen. (7) To go to the next camera, press the "Back" key on top left of the screen, and the list of cameras shows up again. (8) When you want to log out, press the "Back" key, then the "Logout" key. Otherwise it remains live and uses up your data allocation if you are not on free Wifi.
