great camera for the price (and a pretty good camera)
TL;DR - not waterproof enough for direct rain. Add silicon glue.app is not great, sharing videos is too hardlag for motion detection is very highsupport is very good though!I bought one of these in august. Since it comes with a solar panel, it's pretty great that you don't have to wire ANYTHING to install it. And, the price, including the solar panel? INSANE!In the first installation, it took forever to get it online. The SD card wasn't reliable. Now, that seems to be sorted out - installation was excellent. Upgrade to latest firmware, install SD card, all is good.You can check the camera from anywhere in the world! This is a security problem for your local network, but... not a terrible one, I hope.Video quality is good. Camera has a nice angle, at least for my yard. If you want more flexibility, you probably should get a pan and tilt camera. The battery, even without sun, seems to last for about 3 weeks. This will depend on your motion settings. With solar, it stays at 100% all the time.The amount of lag in the motion detection is another sore point. It seems to be about 15 seconds. That is, motion happens, the camera has to notice, then it has to wake up, then it starts recording. I have some recordings with nothing in them.... likely because whatever triggered the motion detection is long gone. This is true of all cameras like this, so don't ding them for it.The main problem with the app is in order to capture a video, you have to go into the saved videos, play the video, then go out to another screen, and press the record button. You always lose about 4 seconds off the front of the video. Contact with the vendor they originally say it can't be done, I say just put a button on the "display video" page. I have a Solicom camera that does just this, and downloads to your phone. Maybe someday they will do this, just like other similar camera.After about 4 months, and after a few weeks of rain, the camera failed. I contacted their support, asking how maybe to revive it, and they offered to send me a new one. To be really clear, they wanted me to post a 5 star review, then they would send it... I told them if they wanted to send one they could, and I'd write an honest review. Which they did, which I am doing. Although to be fully honest this is probably a 4-star product, with the problems I'm saying. OTOH.... all other cameras of this type seem to be $250, to have one at $80 is brilliant and I think one shouldn't expect too much.I think the camera failed so quickly because water got in. The camera is waterproof "in name only", in that there are clear seams with gaps, and the seal at the bottom (where it plugs in) isn't very serious, and the connection from the solar panel to the camera is a standard miniUSB, not a waterproof connector like another (more expensive) camera uses.This time, I got out some old silicon glue that I had for a bathroom project, the good waterproof stuff, and I've slathered it over most of the ports. I've left open the bottom vents, where it seems they want condensation to come out. I'm hoping this keeps out the water and maybe it lasts for a few years.If you get this camera, either don't put it directly in the rain, and/or mount it carefully so it's exactly upright and water won't get in the bottom, and/or seal it with silicon, and/or don't expect it to last through a rainy season.Will update if this one fails...

It's Awesome
So before buying this, I was a little iffy about it because at the time it had about 5 reviews, but I bit the bullet and bought it anyway. The shipping was fast and the package came in great condition. The setup was simple as hell like you barely have to do anything if you're using the clamp method.Pros:SturdyFlexible TensionEasy AssemblyLooks greatCons:Fixing the tension sometimes can be a painOverall:The product is great and made a great addition to my home studio. It also looks awesome and every time I'm in a zoom meeting everyone compliments it and how it looks. It was worth it.

Feels a little flimsy but does what it's supposed
I've decommissioned a few old laptops and computers for family recently & needed to make sure all the hard drives in the machines were securely wiped. A lot of these adapters ONLY work with the 2.5 laptop drives, but THIS adapter works with 3.5 larger hard drives found in non-laptop computers as well as the 2.5 drives.It's easy to use, windows 10/11 should load the drivers automatically & my hard drives are detected when plugged into the adapter. The price of the adapter is easily worth it knowing you've personally and securely wiped your old computer hardware before getting rid of them.

Logitech Harmony Hub is one of the best things tha
Well I can start by saying to all those folks that complained about how difficult it was to setup the Logitech Harmony Hub, I can say that for me It was not hard and was actually fun. The Logitech Harmony Hub is one great gadget and worth every penny I spent on it. Because of the Logitech Harmony Hub and my Amazon Echo, and my Wink Hub I can control my Television my Yamaha Surround Receiver, Cable box and my GE Link, Wireless A19 Smart Connected LED Light Bulb. and a few others things just by saying a couple of words I have to say I love this thing and if I new how much fun it would be I would have certainly bought it right after I had purchased the Amazon Echo. So if out there wondering would it be worth it to spend $89.00 on the Logitech Harmony Hub I am here to tell that for me it definitely was. Makes want to switch devices all time from my to Xbox or to my Pc, or the PS4 which by the way with the PC and PS4 you have to manually turn on. Sony pretty much will not let any company including there own create a device other than the controllers that come with it to be able to turn it on. These things are small in comparison to the other fun things you can accomplish with the Logitech Harmony Hub and other devices you can use with it.

A good option for a low price
I bought this for simple recording and so far it has been great. It's smaller than I expected, which is great because it doesn't take up much space on my desk. I've done about 2 or 3 hours worth or recording so far and it meets my needs. I'd image the quality of other more expensive microphones might be better, but this one does just fine for what I need (recording videos/screencasts to be used online). My only complaint is that I wish the carrying case that came with it had room for the USB cable.

Best headset. Would buy again.
This brand has won lots of awards and the reviews are fantastic. Despite that I’m a skeptic. However I’m pleased to say it has far exceeded all my expectations. My son who’s old gaming headset mic was extremely problematic and the sound wasn’t great either. His friends noticed the difference immediately. He also noticed a difference in the quality of the in-game sound which he describes as something of a 3D effect where he is able to better ascertain which direction the sounds are coming from. Well worth the money.

Waterproof, loud, and portable. Exactly what I nee
I’ve been using the iF012 for a month now and so far it has been great. I’ve used it mostly in the shower, where it has been easy to control and puts out very respectable sound for a small waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Worth noting that it has connected both flawlessly and extremely quickly (typically in 1-2 seconds) every time I’ve used it. One very small quirk to note - for me, the speaker often starts out at a volume that differs from what my phone is set to (often much louder). It’s not an issue at all, as raising or lowering the volume a notch on my phone after pairing resets the volume to the desired level immediately. Just something for buyers to be aware of (it made me jump the first few times I pressed play and wasn’t ready for it).The highlight so far though was on a recent camping trip, where we rented a boat for the day. Fortunately, I thought to bring the speaker along to have some waterproof music. The boat actually had a built-in sound system but it wasn’t working, so the speaker came in super handy. It performed surprisingly well, keeping us all entertained - even as a rainstorm moved in and pelted us for a solid hour.Waterproof, check. Loud, check. Small and easy to pack, check. Long battery life (even at max volume), check. Well worth the investment.

GoPro Lite
This product is a GoPro lite. Works just like you’d think it would, just without some of the finer usability touches you’d expect from a higher end product. The image stabilization is a little chunky - it does the job but makes the video “hop”. Might be good for some applications but not for the underwater or biking adventures I’ve used it for. That said the case and attachments are great and I’ve had absolutely no trouble with them. Biggest gripe is trying to navigate the menus using the case buttons is non-intuitive. Worth it it you’re looking for a GoPro experience without all the cost.

A really great unit
I am very happy with this unit. It is well worth the extra dollars over the less expensive units. First, it give a vast choice of sounds. It has two types of modes to enhance the sounds. It has a timer and it also has a very easy way to hook up to my stereo unit. I now use it with surround sound. I bought it because I kept getting distracted by noise outside my unit while I was meditating and it is perfect. I like it so much I bought one for my Son. I highly recommend this unit.
