Pros: I wrote a reorder system for nursing homes to reorder medications for patients using this scanner. When nurses make their rounds they scan the meds they need for each patient. When they get back to the nurses station, they just plug in the scanner and my software does the rest. Yes, there is API if want to write your read and write methods.

Cons: None I can think of.

Most Critical Review

It’s just Ok

Mini Power Bank 500000mAh Dual USB Charging Battery Bank Portable Charger  for All Smartphones
Mini Power Bank 500000mAh Dual USB Charging Battery Bank Portable Charger for All Smartphones

Pros: Charges your iPhone about 2 times

Cons: Absolutely not 500,000 mAh. It’s also about an inch larger than described.

Overall Review: This is NOT 500,000 mAh — period. At best this is 5,000. It will charge your iPhone about 2 times.

Overall Review: Seems like a great monitor arm, perfect for my needs. I added extra support to my installation because the desktop was only 3/4 particle board.

Cheap Screws

Pros: The wood screws that hold the unit to the wall are, well, crap. As I was screwing one of them into the stud, it sheared off an inch below the surface. And, yes, I drilled the appropriate size pilot hole. The design of the wall mount is fine. But I would strongly suggest going to a hardware store and buying some quality lag bolts.

Cons: Super cheap screws. Don't use them.

Great little Bluetooth Receiver

Aukey BR-C1 Portable Bluetooth 3.0 Audio Receiver Wireless Music Streaming Adapter Dongle - White

Pros: Easy setup, clean sound.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a much cheaper receiver. The sound quality was very poor on the less expensive unit. The BR-C1 cleaned up the sound and I like the rechargeable feature. Well worth the money.

Garbage

TRENDnet TV-IP762IC (v1.0R) 720P HD Wireless Day/Night Micro SD card, 2 Way Audio Cloud IP Camera

Pros: Inexspensive

Cons: Too many motion false positives to count. Won't record video to SD card. Won't recognize SD card

Overall Review: Don't waste your time or your money if you're looking for a solution that includes recording video. I own 2 of these turkeys. It doesn't recognize any of 32 GB micro SD cards I've tried. And yes, I tested the cards and they work fine. When you insert the card into the camera, it creates it's own folder. But then the setup tells you the card doesn't exist. The false positives are crazy. I've even set the sensitivity down to 75%, and it still sends images via email all night long. Look elsewhere for a wireless camera.
