Amazing Camera Amazing Quality
Pros: This camera delivers beyond High Definition video. The colors are bright, vibrant and crisp. The Low/No light picture is clean and clear. I installed one of these outside in my backyard enclosure to monitor my pool and entrances. This kit even came with the outdoor dome. I live in FL and have had it up for over a month and have had no issues with condensation. What an amazing value for the price, I am a fan!
Cons: The software that came with the camera on the CD could never find the camera. However it didnt matter, I use a free program called iSpy as a central ip camera server and had no issue using it with that.
Overall Review: The person who wrote the poor review, obviously doesn't understand the difference between a PTZ camera and a camera that has Pan and Tilt ranges. This camera is a stationary camera, but once it is mounted you can Pant and Tilt it to center it on what you are looking at
Amazing sound
Pros: These subs pack quite a punch. I originally only bought one and it was good in my living room which has about 1000 sq feet. But my wife and I really like to rock out with Rock Band so I got a 2nd one when they went on sale. Thank goodness (couldn't say the word I wanted to) for Cinder Block construction or my neighbors would not be happy as we can hear them on the street as is. They have a very clean punch that can be felt in the kitchen which is about 35 feet away. I loves them!!!
Cons: The instructions show several recommended configurations for sub placement using 2 subs, however there is no way to link them even though they have a digital controller on them. Oh well, they still sound incredible!!!
Blue Screen of Death?
Pros: Looks sharp. It has everything but blue ray burning. It is pretty quiet.
Cons: It didnt play nice with one of my SATA controllers and caused the system to become unstable and Blue Screen. I had to move the SATA connection to 3 locations before I found one that worked. It seems to have slow read speeds
Overall Review: For $55 fits the bill and gets the job done all the while looking like a shiny new toy. The mirror finish on the CD door is amazing
Love Zalman
Pros: Was able to reuse my Zalman 9700 on my new motherboard, this now makes 3 Mobos this thing has outlasted. Zalman makes an amazingly well engineered product.
Cons: Some of the reviews raved about the nut posts on the back side of the mother board, I personally would have prefered the bracket that I had for my last one, it was a lot easier to install.
It is what it is
Pros: Out of the box and up and running in 15 mins. Dirt cheep, sharp picture, great night vision, wireless, pan and tilt. Great web options and control
Cons: The color is bad, but for the price it is what it is. Fast motion blurs.
Overall Review: Look, I got this on special for like $60, no the color isn't the greatest, yes the manual is in Engrish. But anyone with half a brain can figure this out. After reading a lot of the reviews I almost didn't get this. But I needed a cheep wireless camera to monitor my pool and decided to bit the bullet and try it out. Boy am I glad I did. I am thinking about getting a few more of them, they work so well.
Amazing 1st Flight
I had never flown a RC helicopter prior to this. I have always wanted to, but never wanted to throw away money knowing that I would crash and burn. The low price tag on this was enough to push me over the edge. So I got and wow I am so glad I did. My first attempt I was able to quickly get the hang of this and was flying around my living room. I have had a few hard hits and the copter is extremely resilient. A friend of mine who files RC planes and copters regularly even said it was a real gem. He did however suggest switching the axis for the controller, it says how in the instructions. But he said switch the axis will help aid in the transition to other more expensive areal vehicles. I love this thing, I have already had hours of enjoyment.
