D-Link Cloud Camera 5000 (Review)

By ·

dlink_logo

Having a new baby and young kids, I am a worry wart. I worry about EVERYTHING. I rarely go out, because I just don’t trust ANYONE with my new baby or kids. I just don’t. You always here bad things about what some caregivers do to kids and makes you REAL protective.. So sad!

 er

There are times though, I cannot avoid going out, I have to. So I will leave my new baby and kids with my mother-in-law (whom I DO trust!) and head out.

But, would if my MIL is busy for a second and something happens to one of my precious kids? What do you do?? I tried out the D-Link Cloud Camera 5000, to help me put my mind at ease..Now I can get out and enjoy some peace of mind knowing my home and kids are safe.

The Cloud Camera 5000 improves upon D-Link’s robust line of Cloud Cameras with pan and tilt capabilities, 720p HD resolution, and crystal clear night vision for viewing up to 15 feet away! It is equipped with mydlink,  so moms (and dads!), can remotely view the live video stream from any PC or notebook or watch real-time video directly on an iPhone, iPad or Android device with the free mydlink Lite app!!! All you do is place the Cloud Camera 5000 looking out the back window to ensure no stranger is a creepin’ around  or in your nursery to keep an eye on your baby. Any angle, day or night, you won’t miss a thing! See, peace of mind!

The installation of this was pretty easy. I had hubby do it and he had it installed in no time. I use this in the kids toy room, so I can watch them carefully as they do tend to be very quiet and sneaky at times.. sigh.

The thing I love best about this camera is that it covers a wide area so I can see my kids good :) And, I don’t DARE tell them that this camera is in their toy room or they will investigate it and that would not be good!

Now my kids don’t surprise me with a toy that has been drawn on or a My Little Pony that received a short short haircut. I KNOW what they are doing in the next room, as I work, so no more special surprises for mommy ;) I am on my computer anyways, so a quick glance at them is super easy for me!

So, if you want to keep a watchful eye on someone or something, I highly recommend the D-Link Cloud Camera 5000. It is really a great thing to have around! Peace of mind for parents, or whomever, is priceless.

Buy

You can purchase the D-Link Cloud Camera 5000 online at http://www.dlink.com/us/en and locate a retailer near you. It retails for $299.99 or on Amazon it is $231.99 right now.

By ·

Securifi

We all like to feel secure. At home, while we are out and about or anywhere. I like to feel like me and my family are totally safe and secure. Well, what about your computer? I am sure you like to know everything on your computer is safe at all times too, right?

 Almond

Almond is the world’s first touch screen wireless router! You can configure it in minutes with  no MAC, PC or CD needed! Prevent intruders from accessing your wireless data! They have no right to it, so secure it all with Almond. I received this awesome product to review and we have been loving it, especially my hubby!

You configure it and will be online so fast it is crazy! Just connect your cable/DSL modem and follow the on screen instructions. So easy to do! It is super fast and you can connect up to 50 users at a time. It is also compatible with older 802.11bg devices! It is sleek and nice looking, so you can display it just about wherever and all your info is just a finger tap away.

Product Features

  • Dual Purpose: Use as primary Router or Range Extender (Booster)
  • Intuitive Setup using Touch Screen, No PC/Mac/CD needed for setup or Management
  • In Range Extender (Booster) mode compatible with any existing router (ex: Netgear, Linksys, Belkin, etc..)
  • Compatible with PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad & Android
  • Automatic Internet type Detection

The ideal location for this is 50-100 feet from the main router, depending on the number of walls. Also make sure that it is not so far from the main router that it cannot maintain a stable connection with it. We had to move it around a bit, but finally found the perfect spot for it.

 

Buy

You can purchase the Almond Touch Screen Wireless Router online at http://www.securifi.com/ and locating a retailer near you! It retails for around $79.00.

GBC ShredMaster GSS208 Strip-Cut Jam Free Shredder Review And Giveaway

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Tina Renee Barker #726!!

Since we are cleaning up and doing some remodeling in our home, I am planning on FINALLY having a home office. A place where I can go and work and have everything organized. Oh the thought of that makes me so excited to get started on it!

 

Right now, nothing is where it should be and everything is unorganized. I feel so lost sometimes! So having a place where I can work, will be nice. I have things to make a home office and can’t wait to put them to good use. Like the wonderful GBC ShredMaster GSS208 Strip-cut Jam Free Shredder I received to review!

This is one sleek-looking machine! And talk about big and something I don’t have to empty out as often as those other paper shredders! This thrilled me :) This machine is a great deskside shredder for home or small office use (it is 22” height x 17” width x 13” depth). It features GBC’s Jam Free technology, (the paper jams are prevented by an indicator light alerting the user when too much material is inserted) so you never have those horrible and ANNOYING paper jams again! This paper shredder is capable of shredding up to 22 sheets at once into 1/4 inch level 2 security strips! I did try shredding many papers at once and it DOES shred them up! And, if that were not enough, it can also handle CDs, DVDs, paper clips, staples and credit cards!!!! And of course it has the forward, auto or reverse buttons.  I just love this machine :)

This machine fits nicely next to my desk and has an 8 gallon pull out drawer, that you can fill up with shredded paper. It really holds a lot! It also features an auto shutdown, to conserve energy. I have another paper shredder and this one is much much quieter than my older one. Even when I shred more than one piece of paper. So that is nice too. Also, I really that it has a plastic protector over the opening where you shred papers, to protect anyone from getting hurt. The plastic protector is actually for the credit cards and cd shredder (but I like that it can cover the opening so little hands don’t get in it too..).  It does come with an oiler, that you have to manually do yourself. I have not had to do this yet, but you will need to so that you can continue shredding paper nicely and to keep your machine in good condition. It comes with a lifetime/2 year warranty, which is nice, for just in case.

The only thing I noticed is that it shreds the paper bigger, so if you are shredding any VERY important documents, you still might be able to read info on the shredded papers. Just wanted to add that in there! Otherwise, this is a great paper shredder and I am happy with it!

Buy

You can purchase the GBC ShredMaster GSS208 Strip-cut Jam Free Shredder online at http://www.mybinding.com/ and it retails for $199.95
