      I found her delivery laid back and professional.

    They make some pretty feature rich products, but completely lost me because of their lack of the other type of security.

    Nothing Special… I really like the ring doorbell, but securitywhise there is other cheaper diy or smart upgrade solutions for a security system. And in my optinion it looks cheap… the window sensors are clunky and ist another hub…

    why review a brand that give away user’s security data for any law-enforcement with no/little effort….

    I’m sorry but you would have to be smoking crack to trust Amazon with anything related to security.

    Security is Not DIY or cheap for this basic system still.. I’ll subscribe and design my own with 4K PTZ camera and zones for inside & outside with Sony Security devices.. And Recording too..

    Huge thing that you got wrong in this video is saying the one touch buttons for emergency services will work for self monitoring. Totally not true, they only work with professional monitoring per Ring. Also I’m pretty sure the v2 motion sensor is not the same as the v1 motion sensor. I recall Ring stating there is additional tech to the dection in V2, which is the reasoning behind them saying you shouldn’t use the same detection setting on the v2 as you did on the v1 necessarily.

    Such a lame review, she didn’t sound like she could be bothered and everything was ‘fine’. Come on CNET!

      I didn’t care. She’s so cute I just found myself looking at her the whole time. I’m not interested in the product. I have Wyze products protecting my home.

      How else is she supposed to sound? Wtf

    Do the one-touch emergency response buttons work if you are not paying for professional monitoring?

    If it runs on a wireless signal that signal can easily be jammed

    Hard to call this a “review”, an overview would be more accurate. The components were described, but, no information on performance.

    I think the extender is not for the wifi/router, instead it is for the sensors coverage.

Learn more about the Dell XPS 14:

Can the Dell XPS 14 last a full work day on one charge? In this morning-to-evening run, the 14-inch Copilot+ PC stayed unplugged from 8:32 AM to 7:30 PM through 4K video editing, video calls and a 40 GB file transfer and finished with more than 25% battery left.

BATTERY CHECK-INS
8:32 AM: 100% (4K video export in the park)
10:57 AM: 85% (video meeting)
1:45 PM: 75% (40 GB file transfer)
4:25 PM: 65% (nearly 8 hours of editing, file transfer and meetings)
7:30 PM: 45% (end of workday)

DELL’S BATTERY RATINGS
Up to 31 hours of video streaming (2K display, 250 nits)
Streaming-only ratings run longer than mixed workloads like editing and video calls, so real-world battery life depends on how you use the laptop.

WHO IT’S FOR
Choose the Dell XPS 14 if you want a 3-pound, 14-inch laptop that can handle 4K editing, video calls and large file transfers through a full workday away from an outlet.

DELL XPS 14 SPECS
Weight: about 3 pounds
Thickness: 14.62 mm
Screen size: 14 inches
Processor: Intel Core Ultra with Windows 11
AI: Copilot+ PV with NPU for on-device tasks
Webcam: 8MP 4K
Ports: 3 x Thunderbolt 4, charging on either side
Dell-rated battery: up to 31 hours of video streaming (2K display, 250 nits)
