Baby Cam

TENVIS White JPT3815W Wireless Webcam iPhone Android IP Camera Audio Video WIFI Camera OSD IR Motion Detection - Night Vision
TENVIS White JPT3815W Wireless Webcam iPhone Android IP Camera Audio Video WIFI Camera OSD IR Motion Detection - Night Vision

Pros: Easy setup, setup wizard detects the camera on the network, lets you assign an IP address for it. For a standard resolution camera, its got all the features, great for a nanny cam. Comes with mounting bracket and wood screws. Anything can view this, Android, iOS, Windows, MacOSX, etc. etc. External antenna says "got a weak signal, then install a better antenna!".

Cons: Not the best video quality, but beats the quality of my old phone that was being used as a webcam. Does not setup your router for internet viewing, but this is so simple, just a port forwarding setting in your router. Audio doesn't work with Android client, but I suspect its because of the client. Doesnt provide 30 fps. Closer to 10fps, hardwired using CAT6 and gigabit switch.

Overall Review: Plan to buy another one. Since this works on Windows, OSX, Android, iOS, each have their features. So while the Windows version (basically web browser), you cant record video, but the Android version does. Android client uses IP Cam, which is not made by Tenvis. You have to setup the camera twice, one for local WiFi and one for when you mobile using 4G services.

Lasted a month

Corsair Certified Neutron Series 256GB Sata III Internal 2.5" Solid State Drive (CSSD-N256GB3/RF2)

Pros: Fast and cheap for a refurb item.

Cons: Lasted a month before dying.

Overall Review: Used this for a Win7 HTPC so I could record shows via Windows Media Center, then almost exactly a month after I got it, it simply stopped being recognized by the BIOS. Removed and re-mounted the older 64gb SDD, booted up just fine.

For first time users

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 2GB RAM
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 2GB RAM

Pros: Faster than the 3. USB 2.0. Gigabit Ethernet, LibreELEC runs great!

Cons: Costs more if upgrading from a Pi2 o P3. Gone is the microUSB for power, now need USB C, cant use an old charger. So $$ for a new charger. HDMI is now MicroHDMI, which means you cant use a spare HDMI cable. So $$ for a special cable. Needs a case with heat sinks. Earlier versions needed a fan, which becomes annoying after a while. Ive had my fan off for weeks, no serious issues.

Overall Review: Great device for those who prefer Kodi or something low powered for media playback.

Waste of money.

Pros: Works with mice and keybords.

Cons: Does not work with Xbox Bluetooth Controllers.

Overall Review: Bought a new Xbox controller, which I can get to pair up with my phone (LG Stylo4) and my table (Lenovo Smart Tab M10) but not with this adapter. So cheap this is, I don't even care about getting a refund.

Best Budget Tablet

ASUS Zenpad 8 Z380M-A2-GR Tablet MTK MT8163 (1.30 GHz) 2 GB LPDDR3 16 GB eMMC 8.0" IPS Touchscreen 1280 x 800 2 MP Front / 5 MP Rear Camera Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)
ASUS Zenpad 8 Z380M-A2-GR Tablet MTK MT8163 (1.30 GHz) 2 GB LPDDR3 16 GB eMMC 8.0" IPS Touchscreen 1280 x 800 2 MP Front / 5 MP Rear Camera Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)

Pros: Fast CPU, 2 Gigs Ram, 16gb storage with MicroSDHC, no graphical errors or glitches.

Cons: No Infared port (to use as universal remote control). WiFi connectivity is spotty, but I get the same issues using my Galaxy S4 in WiFi mode.

Overall Review: I have an Asus N66U router, so im confused as to why games like Clash or Clans is often giving me connectivity issues on my back porch, 30' from the router. Dont get me wrong, this tablet was well worth the money. But this old LG 7" tablet I replaced had better WiFi connectivity.

Cheap and Fast

Samsung OEM 32GB micro SD- SDHC Class 10 Memory card upto 80MB/S Read with Mini Case + Adapter HK042-NE1
Samsung OEM 32GB micro SD- SDHC Class 10 Memory card upto 80MB/S Read with Mini Case + Adapter HK042-NE1

Pros: Using a Trancend USB 2.0 Card reader, got 25 MB/s read & 22 MB/s write speeds.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This resolved video pausing problems I was having when using a Raspberry Pi running XBMC (open elec) to view live cable channels via a HD Homerun Prime, which is a network based cable tuner. Comcast still uses MPEG2 for TV streams and 1080p can push up to 20 MB/s, so its important to have write speeds that fast.

For $50, its the cheapest best Media Player available.

Works well with my Asus N66U dual band router, works with my HDHomerun Prime, but you'll need a OTG to Ethernet adapter for it to be stable. Where I would have some slightly annoying bugs with the MiBox, the Nexus has been very stable.
