Certified Refurbished Blink Outdoor Wireless 2-Cam Kit
Recently, shifted our house from an old neighborhood to a condominium. As this is an old apartment, we did a major renovation. Looked around for all kinds of things. Since we made changes to everything, so why not go for an interesting security system.
Things to consider
-
Storage options
Storing video on a memory card is convenient and free. But for security’s sake, we prefer models that save footage in the cloud.
-
Video quality
Look for models that capture video at 1080p resolution or greater; 2K provides even more detail.
-
Power source
Wired doorbells are lower-maintenance, since battery-operated models need to be recharged every few weeks or months.
-
Specific alerts
All cameras respond to movement, but some can distinguish among people, pets, passing vehicles, and package deliveries.

Who this is for
Smart doorbell cameras are for people who want to be able to screen their visitors the way they do phone calls using caller ID. They allow you to monitor who is at the door and decide whether you want to answer it—if you’re busy cooking, have mobility issues, want to continue social distancing, or just aren’t home. These cameras also serve a valuable security function by recording video of whoever (or whatever) comes to your door or crosses your walkway, whether it’s FedEx or UPS dropping off packages or the types of miscreants who like to pilfer them.
These devices replace your existing doorbell with one that bundles a ringer button, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, and several sensors. When a smart doorbell camera is triggered by motion or the push of a button, it notifies you via an audible chime and a smartphone notification. And it streams live audio and video to your phone or tablet so you can hear and see your visitors in real time. You can even talk with those visitors or, in the case of solicitors, send them on their way.
In most homes with a powered doorbell, you can simply swap out your old doorbell button for a smart one and use the existing wiring; a few models can also run on rechargeable batteries. One practical issue some homeowners face is not having an adequate power transformer (a device that reduces your home’s 120-volt electrical service to a lower, and safer, voltage), as required by many smart doorbells. Though the majority of smart doorbells claim to work with the standard 16-volt transformer found in most homes with a wired doorbell, some are rated for 16 to 24 volts and may require installation of a power transformer to work properly. If you install a smart doorbell and hear humming, or if the doorbell chime doesn’t sound right, your existing transformer is likely the issue. If you’re not comfortable with or knowledgeable about home wiring, it’s best to hire an electrician.
Installing an all-seeing eye on your front door necessarily raises issues of privacy—both yours and that of your unwitting neighbors. Many people assume that the companies that make these cameras have free access to your recordings, though that shouldn’t be the case. We provide a few scenarios and suggestions in How to Keep Unwanted Eyes From Spying on Your Security Cameras. But it’s incumbent upon you to take a few minutes to understand companies’ terms of service and privacy policies. We also consider these issues when making recommendations (see Security, privacy, and smart doorbell cameras). Also, keep in mind that some neighbors, postal workers, pizza-delivery drivers, and other guests may not appreciate being recorded—and may be protected by local or state laws. For more about these issues, see our post Security Cameras, Ethics, and the Law.

Recently, I had been exploring the best way to increase my nest egg in my financial portfolio. Read about Warren Buffet's patriotic move to sell off all stakes of TSMC from Berkshire Hathaway Inc decision. I did a check TSMC is still World's number 1 chip producer and the management had already started to diversify into partnership in Japan.
I bought TSM at USD 84 per share and now is USD103. Not bad for a smart move. And with more and more needs for chips everywhere there are no worries for the semiconductor market.
TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is the world's largest dedicated semiconductor foundry, enabling the production of leading-edge systems on a chip (SoC) and other technology components. It was founded in 1987 and produces integrated circuits for many of the world’s major semiconductor device manufacturers.
Intel is a US-based technology company that designs and manufactures computer processors. It is the world's largest and highest valued semiconductor chip manufacturer, based on revenue. Intel was founded in 1968 and is responsible for the development of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Both companies are major players in the semiconductor industry, although Intel is more focused on the production of microprocessors, while TSMC specializes in fabrication services for many different semiconductor products.

If you have a great personality like mine to explore the wide range of oceans and tidal pools, I shall share with you the best places to visit.
1. If you want to find octopuses at the best spot, I recommend going California to a small empty island and search for tidal pools.
2. Whenever you go scuba diving in the ocean, always remember to be delicate with the sea creatures and wildlife.
3. Southern Californian tidal pool animals
4. Tidal pool creatures gallery

The most relaxing thing to me is to be able to smell the freshly dug soil. Finding peace away from the busy routine of children chores of school works, revision and constant reminders of what needed to be done next.
I find it enjoyable to be sieving compost, digging soil, sowing seeds, watching birds flying in the wind, these are a few ways to escape into the fantasy when times are simpler.
There are more to this hobby to be discovered, when I started with the intention to grow carrots.
I contacted a company in China, told them I am testing to grow carrots in my country. Got a huge pack of carrot seeds from China. It dawned on me this is not easy. There are so many varieties of carrots and they need different conditions to sprout. I was never really successful with this.
Then I started with tomatoes, after my 1st child arrived. She loves tomatoes and I started growing some. This proves to be a much easier endeavour.
How to germinate tomato from seeds?
Growing tomatoes from seeds is a great way to get a jump start on your garden. Not only is it economical, but it also allows you to choose from a wide variety of varieties. Tomatoes are one of the most popular and versatile vegetables, and growing them from seed allows you to customize your crop to your tastes.
The first step in growing tomatoes from seed is to purchase the seeds. There are many varieties available, including heirloom, hybrid, and organic. Choose the variety that best suits your needs and tastes. Once you have the seeds, it’s important to start them indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
Start by filling a seed-starting tray with a seed-starting mix. Moisten the mix with warm water and then sprinkle the seeds on top. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and place the tray in a warm spot. Make sure to keep the soil moist but not wet.
When the seedlings have grown to about two inches tall, it’s time to transplant them into individual pots. Use a potting mix that is specially formulated for tomatoes and fill the pots with the mix. Plant the seedlings at the same depth as they were in the seed tray and water them thoroughly.
Once the seedlings are about four inches tall, it’s time to harden them off. This means gradually exposing them to the outdoor environment by placing them outside for increasing amounts of time each day.
Finally, when all danger of frost has passed, it’s time to transplant them into the garden. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil and dig a hole for each plant. Place the plant in the hole and fill the hole with soil. Water the plants thoroughly and add a layer of mulch to help retain moisture.
Growing tomatoes from seed is a rewarding experience and can provide you with a delicious crop of tomatoes all season long. With a little patience and care, you can have a bountiful harvest.
Try it and you will not regret this.

The further I went to different sides of the hobby, which took me to Aquarium. Fish keeping. Well, this was always something I was interested as a child myself. I believed everyone would had in their life a little gold fish as a pet.
