It’s also worth noting that Lorex is one of the largest security camera manufacturers today, with new products being released on an almost-monthly basis. However, it’s a really solid and budget-friendly option, which is true for most Lorex cameras. It’s not a perfect camera it doesn’t work in below zero temperatures, for instance. It also comes with the ability to record both video and audio. It has a 118-degree wide-angle lens and a whopping 115-foot night vision range. ![]() ![]() We think this camera really represents Lorex well.

All three cameras share the same simple set-up, and their live videos are all viewable from the app. There’s also an outdoor version and a video doorbell. The SimpliCam is just one of SimpliSafe’s three cameras. Need to pay $9.99 or $27.99 a month to receive cloud storage, notifications and remote control of camera.That’s a $99 value right there that you’ll get for free a pretty great deal overall. SimpliSafe usually bundles one free SimpliCam with purchases of a SimpliSafe security system. The SimpliCam is also a great option if you’re looking to install a home security system as well. It streams to a smartphone app, records to the cloud when used with a SimpliSafe plan with cloud storage, and offers two-way talk. It doesn’t offer much in terms of features, but it gets the job done without any hassle. The SimpliCam is a simple indoor camera that plugs into a wall outlet and connects to Wi-Fi. In our SimpliSafe security system review, we talked about how it took us less than 30 minutes to install the system, and that system included the SimpliCam.

Some can even proactively ward off potential trespassers even before they enter your property. Their features have improved a lot, too!

![]() ![]() The tactic echoed two earlier mass shootings, most notably Charles Whitman’s 1966 attack from atop the University of Texas Tower. In addition to Paddock’s choice of weaponry, mass shooting experts were struck by his decision to shoot at the concertgoers from high above, rather than walking through the crowd or firing from a nearby secluded spot on the ground. To Fox and others, the Las Vegas rampage represents a frightening turn in the nation’s struggle to stop mass shootings. “Anyone who has seen a war movie or an ‘Untouchables’ episode knows what it sounds like.” “It doesn’t take that much imagination to know what automatic gunfire sounds like,” Fox added. “I really can’t recall another case where one has been used,” said James Alan Fox, a Northeastern University criminologist who studies mass shooters and believes Paddock was armed with an automatic weapon when he killed at least 59 people and set off chaos that injured more than 500. “The ATF hasn’t evaluated them yet,” Las Vegas sheriff Joseph Lombardo said at a news conference Monday evening.īut video from the attack suggests Paddock may have used at least one fully automatic rifle, marking the first time such a weapon has been wielded by a public mass shooter in the United States, experts said. Investigators believe at least one of the guns functioned as if it were fully automatic and are now working to determine if he modified it or others to be capable of spitting out a high volume of fire just by holding down the trigger, people familiar with the case said. history was an AK-47 type rifle, with a stand to steady it for firing, according to people familiar with the case. One of the weapons Paddock apparently used in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. With a cache of 17 mostly powerful firearms, Paddock, 64, smashed the windows of his 32nd floor hotel room and then, from high above the Las Vegas Strip, sprayed bullets down on 20,000 people listening to country music star Jason Aldean. Stephen Paddock’s lethal attack on a Las Vegas country music festival Sunday night was distinguished from most mass shootings by two features: the size of the arsenal he smuggled into the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and the great height from which he shot. ![]() ![]() A quick 5 second process to get back up and running in case of data loss. With manifesto, you just enter your google feeds login info and then select which feeds you want to import (or all) into your iphone. If you have quite a number of feeds, to get them back into the app would be a manual pain in the ass. There are enough reports of users of any application and newsstand is not immune to this, where during updates, data or settings get wiped out. Second, manifesto allows you to import your google feeds. I just didn't like the newsstand dev's attitude based on my correspondence with him. Can you imagine if you had no notion of when an email was received other than the date? That is just unacceptable, and to be questioned as to why I would ask for it is ridiculous to say the least. I also asked him to add time stamps to articles like manifesto has, and he questioned me on the 'usefulness' of having a timestamp. Manifesto on the other hand will display all the articles for a feed going back to x days as per your setting. Can you imagine if email was capped to some hard number? If you are like me, i'm sure the number of articles is less important than how recent the articles are. When I asked the developer if we could have a setting to not cap the max number of articles but provide a setting by which we could specify number of days to have an article before auto removing the article.this way the number of articles is controlled by how recent the article is, the developer's response was 'I'll think about it'. One is the fact that I didn't like the fact that newsstand capped the number of articles per feed to 50.

Hank constantly deals with the consequences of his inability to say "no" to temptation while trying to show his family that he can be a responsible, caring father to Becca and a reliable partner to Karen. He blames his longtime writer's block on reasons ranging from the hedonism of Los Angeles to the departure of his girlfriend Karen. The series revolves around Hank Moody, a novelist plagued by alcoholism. Main article: List of Californication episodes The show won several awards, including two Emmy Awards (nominated for two others) and one Golden Globe Award (nominated for five others). Recurring themes are sex, drugs, and rock and roll, all of which are featured regularly, as well as the seedier side of Los Angeles. The show's other main characters are Hank's best friend and agent Charlie Runkle ( Evan Handler) and Charlie's wife Marcy ( Pamela Adlon).

It will even notify you if your Nest smart thermostat goes into away mode because it hasn’t spotted you in a while, if you’re actively using the Elite at the time, allowing you to turn it back on and adjust the temperature if you wish.

Without any configuration, the Harmony Hub can control hundreds of smart home devices from lights to thermostats to speakers.įor instance, anything configured with Samsung’s SmartThings Hub can be controlled using the Harmony. The Harmony Elite is about as good as a universal remote can get, but it gets a lot more interesting when you start to include your internet-connected devices in your home. The remote can control a variety of internet of things devices, including the Nest smart thermostat and any device connected to the SmartThings system. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing rests on the dynamics of your living room.

If I want to swap to the Amazon Fire TV, I hit that button and it switches the input on the amp, switches off the satellite box and we’re off. I then get a custom remote to change volume with the amp, switch channels with the satellite box and activate picture-in-picture with the TV. For me that’s the amp, the satellite box and the TV, all set to the right input and mode automatically. Hit “Watch TV” on the touchscreen for instance, and it’ll turn on everything needed for watching TV and set a starting channel. The smartphone app also works as a full remote, with the volume buttons being able to control the TV’s volume, for instance. The remote has its own charging dock into which it slots when not in use, but will last a good week or so between charges if you so wish. The top third of the Elite is a 2.4in colour touchscreen for choosing devices, selecting favourite channels or activities, or for setting off custom commands that are not bound to physical buttons. All these things should be a given for a remote costing as much as a television, but other solutions costing similar amounts fail on this fundamental level.

Overall, observers completed nearly 250,000 subjective image comparisons. The evaluation included a statistically significant number of observers who viewed many images over four image categories including artificial engineered images, text and graphics, such as street maps or different examples of printed material, people, landscape, animals and stills.
