The Best Home Tech: Episode 3!

2015-09-24
what's up guys johnathan here and welcome back to the best home tech episode 3 kicking off the list is the amcrest pro HD Wi-Fi security camera which packs a ton of features now first and foremost with this being a camera none of those features matter at the video quality isn't good but fortunately for this it is now my weapon of choice for shooting crispy video is a sony fs7 so the fact this has a Sony sensor is awesome you're getting 1080p video with a super wide 90 degree viewing angle but what's awesome is it's pan and tilt feature through the app you can literally adjust and move the camera which covers a ton of ground it also has really solid night vision you can of course up for cloud recording through AM crafts but what I found really useful was the fact that you also have the option to record to microSD for those who prefer a physical means of storage now one thing to keep in mind is this runs off a 2.4 gigahertz Network so you may need to create a separate one when setting this up aside from that this thing is solid you get a built-in mics or two-way communication audio in and out plus the ability to integrate into an alarm system and all those things make this a killer choice for a security camera now after the last episode of home tech drop I got a ton of questions regarding lighting behind the TV and for those curious I'm using Philips hue it's actually a combo of two light strips and two of their bloom lights which not only beefs up the brightness but also allows for that awesome multicolored lighting the light strips are pretty straightforward they're adhesive strips that you can cut and stick pretty much anywhere and then the bloom lights give you that spotlight effect and a little more freedom to move them around and bounce off the wall there's crazy things you can do like sink to music or the TV shows but really I've just enjoyed that ambient vibe it's added for shooting products mixed lighting bokeh and crispy footage is a dangerous trio so the only real downside of these are the price and there are definitely cheaper alternatives out there but I've been extremely satisfied with these and if you're looking to spice up your lighting these are hard to argue with so next up is for those looking to have a little fun with tech and this is Anki overdrive but ANCA did here was take gaming AI robotics and toys to make this crazy tech sandwich topped off with magnets yeah magnet oh so what the magnets come into play are the tracks themselves they're fully modular so you can keep it super simple or go bonkers with your imagination you're able to control these mini robotic cars through your smartphone and battle in real life versus friends or go head-to-head with different AI characters which is nuts because each character has a distinct driving style and personality and that right there is what makes Anki overdrive awesome it bridges the virtual aspect of gaming with something physical and is a great way to bring people together there's also a ton of configurations between the cars the expansion packs and the accessories and I'll drop a link below to all of that for those who want to check it out aside from that thank you guys very much for watching hopefully enjoyed the video if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to go Jos on that like button and I'm also giving away an am crest Pro 8d camera the details on how to win are below and I will catch you guys later
