Yiroka Video Doorbell


Have a different one on the front door that is covered but needed one that was waterproof for the back door and this one is IP44 rated and works for that. This is so easy to set up now with just scanning the barcode with the camera on this doorbell. I also love the ringer/night light as my other one only rings on my phone and doesn’t have a separate ringer.

The app you need to download and install is the “Tosee” app if you haven’t seen that anywhere on the website. It is in the video they have posted if you watched it.

This has a great video and audio thru the app, and you can change all the settings in the app as well. It will notify you thru the app if motion is seen or the doorbell is pushed, and you can see this from any place in the world on your phone when needed. So hopefully you catch those porch pirates?

The 3200 mAh battery in it the same as my other doorbell and it lasts for months before needing to be recharged, which I do a for a couple of hours while I am watching TV. Now the cold does affect how long the battery does last and does get shortened a little when it gets cold out so it will need to be charged more often over the wintertime.

[2020 New] APEMAN Baby Monitor Camera with Crying Alerts and 2-Way Audio


This is more than just a baby camera, you can use this for anything you need. It is very simple to set up and get up and running. Has a very clear and detailed 1080p video. Can be used with Alexa if you have a hub with a screen like the Alexa “Show”. I am using this to replace another camera that really should be mounted on a wall because I can’t get the angle down far enough to see the whole room. This one will just sit on a table, adjust down as far as I need and just works better. You do have to buy and insert an SD card if you want to save the recordings instead of using their cloud service. It will hold up to a 64GB card, but you can go smaller if you like, as it will overwrite the oldest recordings when the card fills up.

VAVA Model VA-IH006 720P 5" HD Display Video Baby Monitor with Camera and Audio


Bought this so my daughter didn’t have to bring her's every time we babysit my grandson and it is well worth it. The 5-inch display on this is great both in a day and night mode and the 2x or 4x zoom really help if you need to see up close because sometimes, I can’t tell if he is awake and just lying there or is still sleeping.

I have a 1,800 sq. foot house with him on the second floor and me on the first and I have had no issue with connectivity or the signal lagging or dropping. The audio piece of this works well and with seven different levels, I have had no problems hearing him when he wakes up and wants out. I walked this out to my back deck to check and it works just as great there, so I should be able to sit out there in the summertime and still be able to see him and check on him while I do it.

The buttons on the display are easy to push and use and are intuitive that you can figure it out without reading the instructions. I love that this has a 4500 mAh rechargeable battery and that it lasts the whole time he is here and is just as easy to recharge when needed.

This works just as well to watch your elderly parents or older kids that are living with you as well if needed and with the two-way audio, you can both use it to communicate with each other if needed. No need to run upstairs to tell them dinner is ready anymore.

Some specs to know:
-        Can pair and use multiple cameras if needed (up to 4)
-        Can replace the lens with a wide-angle lens if needed (sold separately)
-        2x and 4x zoom
-        4500 mAh rechargeable battery (10hrs w/video or 24hrs with just audio)
-        The camera will pan and tilt
-        Night Vision
-        Time and temperature alarm settings
-        Two-way audio
-        Only connects to 2.4ghz WIFI and not 5ghz
-        8 level brightness and sound levels

Wohome 30" Soundbar with 5.25" Sunwoofer & Remote Control


My last soundbar came from Wohome and it was awesome, so why wouldn’t I buy another one from them. This one is a little smaller in length because it has the subwoofer separately as its own box and the subwoofer is a little on the tall side at all most 14 inches, but it is not bad at all, but you do have to have space for it and plan for it before you buy this.

This comes with all the cables you could need (RCA cables, digital Optical cable and power cable) to be able to connect it to about anything you need to as well as a remote to control it and mounting screws if you want to mount it on the wall.

This is very simple to set up and get playing and the remote makes it even easier to operate. You can also connect with Bluetooth with your phone or tablet and play music to this soundbar as well if you like or use the USB port to connect other devices if needed.

The sound on this is actually very nice and if you turn the bass up, it will rock the room. This is only a 5.25-inch subwoofer, so it isn’t going to vibrate things off your shelves and wake your neighbors baby up, but you can still feel the vibration depending on what you have playing.  

If you want to get even more out of it, download and install an equalizer app on your device and adjust the sound to your liking or crank the bass if you prefer.

Narrogat Solar Panel Wildlife Trail Camera 6V 5W Charger Aluminum Frame IP54 Waterproof

I am impressed by this solar panel. It is a little heavier than it looks but I guess that is due to the 5200 mAh built-in battery inside of it. This is not only very simple to set up and install but works on anything that has a plug that can fit this or an adapter if you have one. Your device is running off the built-in battery and not from solar power. The solar power charges the built-in battery.  

This not only fits my trail cam but my portable power station, and portable nebulizer as well. Now I can have power no matter where I am if I have sun. This also fits one of my outside lights and I can use this in case the one that came with it fails.
 
They say no tools required, but obviously, you need a screwdriver to screw the screws in if you use them for the mounting bracket and maybe a drill if you need the included plastic anchors and need to drill a hole for them.

Overall, this does what they say it will and works well at running my equipment when needed. Haven't had it long enough to say how long it will last or if it holds up to the weather, but it looks good so far.
