ETSROW Wireless Video Doorbell Camera

ETSROW Wireless Video Doorbell Camera with Chime, 2K Resolution, 10000mAh Rechargeable Battery, Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, 166° View, Night Vision, IP65 Weatherproof, Support Local/Cloud Storage


My disappointment with this doorbell is apparent.  It looks like it should work but for them to want your social security number to set up their software is absurd. 

The doorbell looks well made. The software is beyond intrusive. There is not reason whatsoever to give them my ss#,  NONE,  They may as well state that their side gig is identity theft. Somebody at their firm might want to look into sensible software. Any one who gives their ss# in this day and age is an idiot. I will be posting this as my review on Amazon. Sorry but I have a reputation to upkeep  and honest reviews are what I do. Good product,  stupid, intrusive software. Oh, and I bought a micro sd card to use with it which doesn't ask for my name, address, hat size, shoe size,date of birth, gender or ss# to use it.

This product may have caught me on a bad day.   I am so darn frustrated with products that get good reviews when the product doesn't deserve it.  This product is on Amazon and apparently I am the only person who questions why anyone in this day and age would ask for your SS number.  The software won't load unless you give them your SS number so the doorbell is an unattractive paperweight. 

I emailed their customer service and got no response.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Arlo Security System by NETGEAR – 6 Wire–Free HD Cameras, Indoor/Outdoor, Night Vision (VMS3630B)

This is an interesting system.  The absolutely wire free aspect is great, particularly if you have a wife is diametrically opposed to visible cables.   The visual aspect of the cameras is great even at night.  The installation or setup was a breeze.   The cameras synced quickly with no issues.   The required an immediate upgrade via download and four of the six cameras did that flawlessly.   The other two took multiple restarts to get the update successfully accepted.   The phone software works well and I was easily able to see the cameras remotely.   So my initial impression is very positive. I did receive this system in exchange for an honest review.   The documentation for this system is abysmal.   There is no identification on the cameras to determine which of Arlo’s cameras they may be.  This makes it difficult to determine what is expected of the camera.   ...
