Father's Day Wish List
QNAP TS-453A 4-Bay Professional-Grade Network Attached Storage $600
Let’s face it, our lives are digital. Whether it be photos, home movies, music, TV or Blu-ray rips, we need safe storage for all our files. A Network Attached Storage unit is one of the best ways to do that. You’ll need to add drives but it's worth it because this unit is extremely versatile. In addition to storage, you can also run a Plex Server to stream your files at home or away. A little on the high price side but aren’t we dad’s worth it??
Ray Super Remote - Touchscreen Universal Remote $250
You know we are big fans of universal remotes! But this one looks so cool! We don’t have any experience with the device but it checks all the boxes on our list so we’ll go with it! Ray has an integrated guide that looks gorgeous! There are built in apps for the AppleTV, Roku, and Xbox. There is even a Kids app that is easy for the little ones to use. Look for a review on this remote in the future.
Deconovo Black Thermal Insulated Blackout Panel Curtain $16.50
Whether it be glare or ambient light that washes out the picture, nothing ruins a movie watching experience like light! Blackout curtains are a great, and inexpensive, way to enjoy your home theater in the daytime. These curtains are heavy and work as sound and heat insulation as well. It's $16.50 well spent!
Kuna Outdoor Home Security Camera & Light $199
Kuna is a smart home security system built into an outdoor lighting fixture. The camera detects movement at your door and sends an alert to your smartphone, allowing you to see and interact with visitors no matter where you are. It's like a doorbell camera but more versatile. These lights can be placed anywhere that you would place outdoor lights, front porch, back porch, or the driveway. Simple to install, all you need is a wifi connection and you can monitor outside your home from anywhere.
