I see their value purely as a deterrent on the same level as a dummy camera. They're just too easy (and cheap) to defeat by creating noise (signal jamming) on the 2.4GHz band. Re: Home Technology Hub 316Jan 06, 2017 8:38 am If someone go through all that trouble to get into your house, I don't think anything will stop them . I see these more for deterring petty thief or seeing what's that noise outside at night without having to look out the window.

Sure, they have value if you want a quick peek outside, or if you want to see when your cat is coming/going, but as for theft deterrent value, get a dummy camera for 10 times less Re: Home Technology Hub 318Jan 08, 2017 12:09 pm Ok, so I just came back from my trip to Vegas for the CES2017.....ok maybe the trip was in my mind only . Samsung have come out with a new TV technology called QLED. It's supposed to be far superior image quality to LG's OLED Technology. https://youtu.be/mKJqZOWNmXw LG has hit back with a new wallpaper OLED TV which is only 25mm thin! All the ports and speakers are gone from the TV too. https://youtu.be/NdAda7gtdFY @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Home Technology Hub 319Jan 08, 2017 12:24 pm Re: Home Technology Hub 320Jan 08, 2017 12:57 pm That's the price of my car! Apparently the QLED Technology is cheaper to manufacture than the OLED so samsung prices would be cheaper than LG. @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney We already paid for somfy motors for the blinds.
