Amazon Fire HD 1. Alexa. Mark Walton. The Fire HD 1. 0 was always the odd one out in Amazon's tablet line up. Neither premium enough to warrant its £1. PPI when stretched over 1.

HD 1. 0 over its cheaper and smaller cousins. I would, however, recommend the new Fire HD 1. Amazon has fixed the tablet's most glaring issues—the most important of which is the introduction of a full HD 1. IPS display—while reducing the price to an impressive £1. It even has a hands- free integration of Alexa, instead of the touch- to- talk of other Fire devices. Few tablets boast a quality full HD screen for £1. Amazon has made concessions to hit that price point, of course—mostly via the limitations of Fire OS—but let's start with the good stuff.

Like all Amazon tablets, the Fire HD 1. Fire OS, Amazon's own proprietary operating system based on Google's Android. If you have an Amazon Prime account and make most of your digital purchases through Amazon, this is no bad thing. Everything you need to watch films, TV shows, read books and listen to music is built- in from the off.

So too is Alexa, Amazon's digital assistant, which can do everything from tell you what meetings you've got lined up for the day, to searching for songs via snippets of lyrics. The twist with the Fire HD 1. Alexa, which can be toggled on and off via the notification pane. Instead of having hold down the virtual home button to activate Alexa, you can now just say "Hey, Alexa." Quite why it's taken so long for this feature to make its way onto Amazon's own tablets (well, one of them at least) is a mystery, but now that it's here it's easily the best way to interact with Alexa.

Anything you can do with an Echo Dot or an Echo you can do with the Fire HD 1. Wikipedia summaries. Mark Walton. Amazon won't say whether hands- free Alexa will make its way to other Fire devices, but given it brought Alexa over to the Fire 5 after launching with the Fire 8 and Fire 7, it's more than likely.

Really, the only reason not to buy the Fire HD 1. Amazon services. Sure, the Amazon App Store has essential apps like Spotify and Facebook, but without access to the full Google Play Store, many simply aren't available (technically minded people can side- load any missing Android apps, however). Personally, I don't think it matters. If all you want to do is watch videos, flick through Facebook and do a spot of online shopping, the Fire HD 1. And the money saved over the more productivity- focused i. Pad Pro 1. 0. 5 can be put towards an Amazon Prime, Spotify, or Netflix subscription instead.

SWANN HD- 8. 20. CAM (Hikvision DS- 2. CD2. 03. 2) 1. 08. P IR Bullet Network Camera Critic.

This is another bargain brought to us by Costco. Swann 1. 08. 0P IR Bullets, at press time, $3. Originally designed to work as part of their NVR package, I took a look at it as a standalone camera. This camera is manufactured by Hikvision and is OEM’ed to various companies, Swann and Lorax included. Hikvision is selling the camera as the DS- 2. CD2. 03. 2 with the added bonus that it’s capable of not only 1.

P, but also 3. MP mode.  At this time, Costco. Lorax branded version of this camera. Main Features. 1/3” 2. Megapixel CMOS sensor. H. 2. 64 dual- stream encoding.

Max of 3. 0fps @ 1. P (1. 92. 0 x 1. 08. Day/Night IR Cut Filter.

IR LED advertised working distance 3. IP6. 6 Rated Outdoor Bullet. Powered by Po. ESmartphone apps available. Overall, this is an impressive camera with very good image quality, good low light performance, well- organized menus and very, very small.

The IR illuminators are bright and have good coverage. The lens, while it says it’s 4mm actually feels wider because it’s view. This is what the web interface looks like when you first log in. There’s options to take a snapshot, manually record, chose a stream and more.

Here’s some of the setup screens. First thing to do on any network camera is set a fixed IP address, this is done here BUT, as a word of warning, the camera comes setup with a fixed IP of 1. There’s no easy way to change it. I downloaded i. VMS- 4. 00. 0 from Hikvision and this had an option to find the cameras and change the IP but I had to manually change the IP on my laptop to the 1. I think Swann or Hikvision can make it easier on us and provide a simple IP camera finder app. The next thing is to set the time.

I use times. windows. Then go to the DST tab to set your daylight savings time days.

The reason you want the time set correctly is because these cameras have the coolest On Screen Display (OSD). It looks at the contrast for each letter and makes it black or white depending on the background.  You can see that the date/time is black when over the concrete and white over the grass. This happens automatically. The image setup screen is where you fine tune the image, select WDR and noise reduction settings. Probably one of the most configurable camera in this price range.

Now onto the images. I mounted this in the usual spot, under the eave of my garage. As before, you can click on the image to see the full size, 1. P image straight from the camera.

Also as before, I set the max exposure time to 1/3. This is a day shot, color balance is quite good and it’s just a nice sharp clear image. This is taken in the late afternoon, the harsh sun shining towards the camera. With WDR set moderately low, you can see the tire tread in the shadow of the car. With WDR off, this would just be black. This is actually one of the better WDR implementations I’ve seen at any price.

Here’s a b& w image at night. Good contrast, small amount of noise, good IR coverage. Watch The Hammer Megavideo. Since there’s streetlights I have no control over, I also mounted the camera in my backyard which is only lit by the moon. As you can see, the scene is well lit by the built in IR illuminator, noise is slightly increased. Some of you use Blue.

Iris software, good low cost general purpose NVR software, now with IOS and Android smartphone apps, and a streaming server so you can embed live streaming video from your cameras on a web page. There’s some quirks you have to look out for. First, select Hikvision RTSP as a camera choice. I was able to get smooth video after making some tweaks. On the camera, I increased the CBR max bitrate to 5. I set the key frames to 3. Blue. Iris and on the cameras, I set Blue.

Iris to 2. 9 fps, and set the received buffer to 1. MB and I was able to get smooth video as you’ll see from the videos. I uploaded day and night videos to You.

Tube. To see them at the full 1. P resolution, you must click on the gear icon and select 1. P resolution and then click on the icon with 4 corners to see the video full screen. The video was extracted from Blue. Iris and represents several events pieced into one extract I did.

Some of you may be trying to compare this to the similar looking Dahua cameras, IPC- HFW2. Q- See 7. 20 IR Bullet currently at Costco for $2. I previously reviewed HERE.  The cameras look nearly identical. There’s the obvious difference that the Dahua is 7. P and this is 1. 08. P. To me, side by side, the image quality both day and night is superior on the Swann.

The color balance, the WDR, the noise reduction is better handled on the Swann. Also, while Dahua will not provide factory support in the U. S., Hikvision will provide factory support on their branded cameras and of course, if you buy the Swann or Lorex versions, they will support you directly. For example, a lot of the software Hikvision provides is readily available along with documentation on their website, www. Also, they have a U. S. headquarters just outside of Los Angeles, CA. If you never heard of Hikvision it’s because they are fairly new to the U.

S. market but they are the worlds largest manufacturer of security cameras. Swann, headquarterd in Australia also has offices in the U. S. and Lorex is headquartered in the U. S. in Indiana. Some people have successfully loaded the Hikvision firmware for this camera allowing it to operate in 3. MP mode. The NVR can not record past 1. P (2. MP mode), so you would have to run NVR software like Blue. Iris to derive benefit from 3.

MP resolution. The pluses for this camera are; Price. P at 3. 0fps. Bright IR illuminators. Day/Night IR Cut Filter. The shortcoming of the camera are; They need an easy to use IP camera finder.

Was not able to get the camera to FTP motion triggered video. Click here to go to the company web page for the camera.
