Why Burglary is Too Easy, Let’s Protect Your Home

Use code andrewlam to get 60% off an annual Incogni plan: https://incogni.com/andrewlam Is your home easy to break into? In this video, I test the security of the average American home and show which upgrades actually work to keep thieves /home invaders out. ・・・ MY DETAILED GUIDE ON HOME SECURITY & UPGRADES There's a lot more information I left out of the video! In my article, I go much more in-depth on each product mentioned, how to avoid / mitigate burglaries and sources I used for this video. ►► https://andrewlam.net/the-best-home-security-upgrades-to-stop-burglary-invasions/ ・・・ EXPERT: MICHAEL SILVA Special thanks to Michael for his expertise in this video. He has extensive knowledge of residential and commercial physical security. Check out his website for valuable security tips: https://www.silvaconsultants.com/security-tips He’s also written a comprehensive home security book that I found incredibly useful: https://geni.us/SilvaBook ・・・ PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS These are products I’ve personally tested and would recommend to my friends and family to stop criminals. Full review in my article. DOORS 1️⃣ Door Armor | Best Door Reinforcement Kit For how common door-kick ins are, I think it's worth spending a bit more money to ensure your door and door frame will survive an attack. The Door Armor kit spreads the force of a kick over l large area. It includes reinforcements for hinges and the area around the door lock, preventing splitting in those vulnerable spots. The screws use TORX heads, come with a driver bit and were easy to install. ►► https://geni.us/DoorArmor They have more options on their webpage including the slimmer door armor pro max which allows for installation in tighter gaps without needing to mortise (chisel) your frame. https://doorarmor.com/ 2️⃣Prime-Line Combo Strike | Best Value for Reinforcing Your Door For 1/7th the cost this kept me out for the full 3 minutes, but there was more damage to the door frame. Great value. ►► https://geni.us/PrimeStrike (Requires 5.5” spacing between holes; if not, use the single-hole version) https://geni.us/PrimeStrikeSingle Consider adding a door protector: Slim: https://geni.us/DoorEdgeGuard Wrap Around: https://geni.us/WrapAroundGuard ・・・ LOCKS 1️⃣ Schlage B60 | Best Pick for Most People Durable and affordable with a Grade 1 rating, the Schlage B60 has everything most people need. It’s also more reliable over time than Kwikset’s SmartKey system, making it a solid upgrade from typical front-door locks. ►►https://geni.us/SchlageB60 2️⃣ Schlage B560 | Upgrade Pick This lock offers commercial-grade quality, with a wrench-proof rotating collar, icepick guard (which also resists prying), and better drill resistance. The solid brass locking cylinder adds long-term durability. ►► https://geni.us/SchlageB560 Also available from your local locksmiths who can also add a 6th pin and pick-resistant pins for enhanced security. ・・・ WINDOW FILM For optimal security, 14-mil security film is recommended, which provides better protection than the standard 8-mil. I used Armorcoat by Solar Gard, secured with Dowsil 995—a structural adhesive that bonds the window to its frame. ► https://www.solargard.com/product/clear-safety/ ► Dowsil 995 adhesive: https://geni.us/Dowsil995 https://www.solargard.com/product/clear-safety/ with Dowsil 995 a structural glue to lock the window to the frame. https://geni.us/Dowsil995 For the best results, professional installation is recommended, especially for large jobs. While Amazon offers some films, reviews are mixed. Instead, check these manufacturers and look up local shops: ► Madico Films: https://madico.com/safety-security/anti-intrusion/clear ► 3M Films: S140 (14 Mil) and S80 (8 Mil) https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/home-window-solutions-us/solutions/safety-security/ In Canada, Apex Films ships full rolls (100’) of Armorcoat.

The Dangerous Flaw in 87% of American Smoke Alarms

The Dangerous Flaw in 87% of American Smoke Alarms

Enjoy 10% OFF on all Hoverpens and free shipping to most countries with code ANDREWLAM ► North America & Other Countries: https://bit.ly/andrew_novium ► UK & Europe: https://bit.ly/andrew_noviumeu Many American smoke alarms have serious flaws. They go off while you're cooking and they're too slow in detecting a new and deadly type of fire. Good news, the new 8th generation of smoke alarms has finally fixed these problems. GUIDE TO 8TH GENERATION SMOKE ALARMS I've put together a guide to help you get the best alarms, improve your installation for better safety, and I've included my sources / research behind this video. ►► https://andrewlam.net/the-best-smoke-alarms-most-people-dont-know-about - - - - MY TOP RECOMMENDATIONS All photoelectric. Go to the guide above to learn why I think that's best and to learn more about each pick. 1️⃣ First Alert SMCO100V-AC || My Top Pick Covers all the bases for many modern homes and building codes with existing hardwired and interconnected smoke alarms (a wire that connects each smoke alarm to power and networks them together). Integrates a carbon monoxide detector and has voice alerts which are better for waking up children. ►► https://geni.us/SMCO100VAC 2️⃣ First Alert SM210 || Just the Basics Photoelectric smoke sensor and a 10 year battery which keeps your alarm running, saves money long term as you don't need to buy batteries and complies with new laws requiring them in many jurisdictions. ►► https://geni.us/SM210 3️⃣ Nest Protect 2nd Edition || Smart Home Connectivity Smart home connectivity and allows you to wirelessly interconnect hardwired and battery-only smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detector. This allows you to easily expand smoke alarm coverage into your bedrooms for better protection in older homes. Remote notifications if there's a fire in your home. The first 8th gen smoke alarm available in the United States even though this version was first released in 2015. ►► Hardwired: https://geni.us/NestProtectWired ►► Battery: https://geni.us/NestProtectBattery 4️⃣ First Alert SMCO500V || Best Budget Wireless If you don’t want to spend $$$$ on Nest Protect, First Alert has a wireless (but not smart) smoke alarm that allows you to interconnect multiple alarms together. Smoke alarm + Carbon Monoxide detector. ►► https://geni.us/SMCO500V Why So Many First Alert Alarms? Kidde's line of 8th generation alarms were recalled a few years back. Universal Security is the only other manufacturer and they only produce ionization alarms. Again, these are now good alarms but from the research I've seen it's best to go with photoelectric as a base and then make it better. OUTSIDE USA? Go replace your alarms with photoelectric detectors. Yes, technically installing both alarms is best but for most people it's not practical especially if you need to interconnect your smoke alarms with carbon monoxide detectors. Do this for your kitchen detector if it's going off. SOURCES: The Big NIST Smoke Alarm Ionization vs Photoelectric Study. Also "Questions & Answers Clarifying Findings" summary on the results I used showing both types of alarms are technically safe. https://www.nist.gov/el/home-smoke-alarm-tests NIST Study Proving Older Alarms are WAY Worse than ALL 8th Gen Alarms ►► https://www.nist.gov/publications/study-performance-current-smoke-alarms-new-fire-and-nuisance-tests-prescribed-ansiul Dr. Vytenis Babrauskas, One of the World's Top Fire Scientists & Inventors on Why Photoelectric Alarms are Superior and Questioning the Findings of the 2004 NIST Test ►► https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288833952_Smoke_Detectors_Technologies_Are_NOT_of_Equal_Value_or_Interchangeable ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: The description contain affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links and complete a purchase, I may receive a small commission.

Top 5 Budget Dash Cams for 2020 📷 My Best Picks After Tons of Testing

Top 5 Budget Dash Cams for 2020 📷 My Best Picks After Tons of Testing

I share my best value picks for dashcams between $35 and $110. These cameras were chosen after extensive research and hands-on testing. We looked closely at reliability, video quality and functionality versus their price and intended use to come up with our 5 picks. - - - - 🌟 UPDATE: July 29, 2021 🌟 Viofo A119V3 continues to be my top budget dash cam pick. It's been reliable and backed by a manufacturer with good customer service. 70mai's Pro-Plus is my new cheap pick. Same 1440P video quality as Viofo for $60 with a few downsides including poor customer service. See my review here: https://youtu.be/njXJoiWvses The BlueSkySea B1W has been removed from my top picks. Anker A1 and Viofo A119V2 are no longer being sold. - - - - OUR TOP DASHCAM PICKS & WHERE TO GET THEM I've purchased all dash cams and accessories since 2017. No paid reviews here. When you buy using some links below, we may earn some money at no cost to you. 1️⃣ VIOFO A119V3 — Best Budget Camera Great for drivers who want excellent day and night video quality and all the essentials you need in a dashcam. Great customer service through their retailer OCD Tronic. I recommend getting the polarizing filter to reduce glare. 📹 My Full Review: https://youtu.be/H4f2HWs_gpc Amazon • USA: https://amzn.to/2QoQEPT • CAN: https://amzn.to/3fbyFpu • UK: https://amzn.to/2m6A3DK Viofo's Official Store: https://geni.us/ViofoOfficial Ships internationally 2️⃣ 70MAI PRO PLUS | Best Value 1440P Dash Cam The new value king for 2021, 70mai’s Pro-Plus cameras deliver amazing 1440P video quality with all the features I think are important for only $60. For most people who aren't in a hot environment and OK with bad customer service / WiFi app, this will be the better value over the 1080P cameras below. No longer available on Amazon unfortunately. 📹 My Full Video Review: https://youtu.be/njXJoiWvses • 70mai Pro-Plus Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9ATrOQ 3️⃣ ANKER ROAV A1 Discontinued by the manufacturer. 4️⃣ Aukey Dash Cams — Hot Weather Picks Our picks for hot climates as they are the only cameras with capacitors and a 2-year warranty. They aren’t specifically designed for hot weather but they are built decently.

Viofo A119V3 - The Best Budget Dash Cam in 2019

H4f2HWs_gpc | 09 Sep 2019

Viofo A119V3 - The Best Budget Dash Cam in 2019

Viofo’s new A119V3 improves upon the V2 version we recommended in 2017 with the best night quality we’ve seen in a dash cam so far. Its stealthiness, user-friendliness, and build quality continues to beat others in the same budget category. - - - - 🌟 UPDATE: August 9th, 2020 🌟 Nothing changed! Viofo A119V3 is still amazing and remains my pick. - - - - THE VIOFO A119V3, OTHER PICKS & WHERE TO GET THEM I've purchased all dash cams and accessories since 2017. No paid reviews here. When you buy using some links below, we may earn some money at no cost to you. 1️⃣ VIOFO A119V3 | Best Budget Camera Great for nearly all drivers who want performance and value without spending much more on premium options. OCD Tronic is the only authorized retailer on Amazon Canada and USA. I recommend getting the polarizing filter to reduce glare. Amazon: • USA: https://amzn.to/2QoQEPT • CAN: https://amzn.to/2koSAL8 | Only the GPS+CPL bundle is available but at least it’s much cheaper than USA. • UK: https://amzn.to/2m6A3DK BlackBoxMyCar Been recommending them for a long time. For a dash cam specialized retailer that's been in the business for a while (aka won't disappear overnight) and knows hardwiring / luxury vehicles, go with them. • USA: http://bit.ly/A119V3_BBMC_USA • CAN: http://bit.ly/A119V3_BBMC_CAN eBay Capture Your Action for USA and BlackBoxMyCar for Canada: • https://geni.us/ViofoA119V3_eBay Viofo Direct: You can buy it directly from Viofo and they ship around the world: • https://geni.us/ViofoOfficial VIOFO A119V2 | 1440P Value Pick Still a great pick - if you can find it. After many years Viofo has ended its production and is solely focused on selling the A119V3. 📹 Our Full Video Review: https://youtu.be/H4f2HWs_gpc 2️⃣ 70MAI PRO & PRO PLUS | Best Value 1440P Dash Cams If you're looking for the A119V3's video quality but want to spend less, 70Mai's is your value king. Their Pro cameras deliver amazing 1440P video quality, WiFi, but compared to Viofo they have a battery and poor customer service. If you don't live somewhere hot this is definitely a camera to consider. 📹 My Full Video Review: https://youtu.be/njXJoiWvses • 70mai Pro Amazon: https://geni.us/70MaiProAmazon • 70mai Pro-Plus Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9ATrOQ 📰 WRITTEN REVIEW A119 Want to learn more or want a skimmable summary of what we covered? See our article for more information. http://bit.ly/A119_Article_CarCamCentral 3️⃣ UPGRADE PICK: VIOFO A129 DUO You can't add a rear camera to the A119V3 but there is a nice upgrade if you get the A129 DUO. It has 1080P front and back. We talk about why a rear camera matters and how the DUO is better than other budget dual-channel options for around $170. 📺 Our Full Review: https://youtu.be/BQNavxPT1mg • Amazon: https://geni.us/ViofoA129Amazon 4️⃣ COMPETITORS WORTH CONSIDERING @ 11:12 We talked about three cameras similar to the A119 with some advantages (better customer service, longer warranty, WiFi) and some disadvantages (some use batteries, others have bad error notifications and parking mode). • Aukey DR02J - Two-year warranty, capacitor build: https://geni.us/DR02J_Amazon • ROVE R2: https://geni.us/RoveR2_Amazon • Rexing V1 4K: https://geni.us/RexingV14K_Amazon 5️⃣ ANKER ROAV A1 | Top Cheap Pick 6:47 One of the best cheap dash cams under $55. The A1's combination of good video quality, useful features like WiFi and backed by a worldwide warranty makes the A1 hard to beat. The downside is its use of lithium-ion batteries making it a bad choice for hot environments. 📺 Our Full Review: https://youtu.be/njXJoiWvses • Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/32dc6eH • UK: https://amzn.to/2XnjWDD • CAD: https://amzn.to/2FSQ1bo • AUS/EU/ASIA: https://geni.us/ROAVA1Amazon 💾 64GB SAMSUNG PRO ENDURANCE Our top memory card pick for dash cams.

Picking the right microSD card helps your dash cam or security camera work reliably and protect important video files. In 2019 cards are cheaper and more durable due to 3D construction. We'll help you pick the best. Article: https://carcamcentral.com/guide/recommended-sd-cards-for-dash-cameras ⚡️⚡️ UPDATE: Nov 13, 2020 ⚡️⚡️ Samsung's Pro Endurance remains our top pick for its performance and value. Sandisk's High Endurance U3 card is our new runner-up endurance pick. It's cheaper than Samsung with slightly reduced reliability and a lower 2-year warranty. Great value.

Also, all products are purchased at full retail price to reduce bias. 1️⃣ 64GB SAMSUNG PRO ENDURANCE | BEST CHOICE Has the highest lifespan rating, 3-year warranty and a price drop in April makes it a great value. • Amazon USA: https://amzn.to/2Vm0xwP • Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2Q4gXZN • Amazon CAD: https://amzn.to/2Vj5Ddq | Not sold directly by Amazon, shipped out of USA but is the best seller I could find and the one I used.

Amazon: https://geni.us/64SandiskHighEndurance 3️⃣ 128GB+ SAMSUNG EVO PLUS/SELECT & SANDISK ULTRA A1 No longer our budget capacity picks. There are no cost or performance savings compared to Sandisk's 2019 High Endurance lineup. The following is just for your reference. • Sandisk A1: https://geni.us/128SandiskA1Amazon • EVO Select: https://geni.us/128SamsungSelectAmazon | Amazon Exclusive Card • EVO Plus: https://geni.us/128SandiskA1Amazon | Not sold directly by Amazon, better to get it other places or in brick and mortar stores if it's on sale. • - - - GET A BACKUP CARD We recommend drivers purchase a second (16-32GB) SD card for emergencies and leave it in the car. You can swap cards and keep recording without overwriting important footage. As well you’ll be protected in case your current card has any problems.

Viofo A129 Duo Review - Still the Best Budget Front-Back Dash Cam in 2020

BQNavxPT1mg | 16 Jan 2019

Viofo A129 Duo Review - Still the Best Budget Front-Back Dash Cam in 2020

Viofo’s A129 DUO is the first front-back camera under $200 that has great video quality, stealthiness, and reliability. I've been waiting years for this camera. You can get premium-level features at a budget price and it’s my new gold standard in this category. ⚡️⚡️ UPDATE - Oct 15, 2020 ⚡️⚡️ A129 is going strong as my budget pick. The A129 DUO Plus has been released which has sharper 1440P front video quality. Good upgrade, costs more. I would avoid the A129 DUO PRO - too many problems and not enough benefits with 4K video quality. I also released a video on our new $100 pick the Crosstour CR900: https://youtu.be/oaUY_yB5erw I compared the A129 DUO and you can use that video to have a better understanding of dash cams. - - - - WHERE TO GET THE VIOFO A129 DUO I've purchased all dash cams and accessories since 2017.

Viofo A119 V2 Update | Comparison vs A119 Pro & A119S

We revisit the Viofo A119 and compare it against the A119S, the newly released A119 Pro and other cameras on the market. After two years, the original A119 with V2 hardware remains our pick for budget dash cams. It’s $80, still has great video quality and is reliable after its accessories were upgraded. UPDATE: Sept 10, 2019 We tested the new A119V3 and it's a nice upgrade to the older A119, A119Pro and A119S. The A119V2 is still a good value if you want to save some money. See our new review here: https://youtu.be/H4f2HWs_gpc The Pro has also been discontinued but if it's on sale for less than $70USD, it's a good buy. - - - - RESOURCES MENTIONED Original A119 Video: https://youtu.be/amjcsoExAQU Our “Best Dash Cam” article lists all our recommended cameras: https://www.carcamcentral.com/guide/best-dash-cams-car-dvrs-black-boxes-of-2019 - - - - CAMERAS MENTIONED & WHERE TO GET THEM I've purchased all dash cams and accessories since 2017.

Top Budget Taxi & Ridesharing Dash Cameras - Dual Lens Cams for Uber, Lyft

Here’s our recommendation on the top budget taxi, Uber and Lyft dash cameras. Learn what matters and why we think our choices will protect you when picking up passengers. UPDATES: DEC 6, 2018: We researched the latest taxi cameras on the market and we posted our thoughts here: https://www.facebook.com/CarCamCentral/posts/1497936793642284 The Dome GS65H is still our budget choices but there many different options at the $200 level. We hope to release a new review in a few months once Viofo releases their infrared light equipped camera We also tested the invisible 940nm IR light and it works very well on both the Dome GS65H and Transcend 520.

Feel free to ask questions while you wait. SD Card Recommendations: Currently we are still looking for a cheap card. The Transcend 400X is a proven pick for 128GB cards but you will lose your warranty.

It’s energy efficient with best of class video quality. Full review: https://youtu.be/yjEPJtQ5PdA SD Cards: Thinkware is VERY picky as to what SD cards work. Transcend // High Endurance cards do NOT work with the F770. We suggest buying Thinkware's brand or the Transcend 400X cards if you want to save money. BlackBoxMyCar Our recommended retailer for the F770 because they have extensive experience in hardwiring luxury vehicles. For example, some BMWs will spit out an error message if you tap the wrong circuit. I'm happy to admit where I'm not an expert, go ask them for hardwiring advice. Check out their Instagram to see some of the vehicles they've worked on: https://www.instagram.com/blackboxmycar As disclosure, we got the Blackvue DR650GW and the Thinkware F770 rear camera for free from them. Our recommendation is from watching their actions with customer service and dedication to the dash camera market over the years, not from the samples. Use coupon code "CarCamCentral20" to get $20 off an order of $399 or more.

Thinkware F770 Review - Best Two Channel Parking Camera

Thinkware F770 Review - Best Two Channel Parking Camera

The Thinkware F770 was our top choice for parked recording with two cameras. While it's a good buy if it's on sale for less than $280 you'll want to see our updated recommendations for 2018: https://youtu.be/_KqLAJa8ZGM UPDATE: September 12, 2019 We have new recommendations for premium cameras including the Thinkware F800 Pro. See our review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KqLAJa8ZGM UPDATED - Oct 2nd, 2018: 128GB Cards // Transcend & Sandisk High Endurance cards do not work with this camera. See our card recommendations below. Forgot to mention the security LED can be turned off in the settings. The red light camera system is using Garmin's data and will only alert you to the direction the red light cameras are actively monitoring. - - - RAW VIDEOS & WRITTEN ARTICLE To download raw videos see our article: https://www.carcamcentral.com/review/thinkware-f770-dual-channel-dash-camera-review - - - - *CHOOSE THE RIGHT SD CARD* Thinkware is VERY picky as to what SD cards work. Transcend // High Endurance cards do NOT work with the F770. There are no 128GB cards that now work with the F770. We suggest buying Thinkware's brand or the Transcend 400X cards if you want to save money at the cost of lower reliability and no warranty. We apologize for the changes as manufacturing processes for SD cards are different since this video was released.

Watch our new "Top 5 Budget Cams 2020" video: https://youtu.be/d-KBKzkOKS0 We've also updated our picks below. OUR PICKS & FULL REVIEWS We earn a commision from some of the retailers we link below. We do not get paid by manufacturers. We only recommend products after many hours of research, hands-on testing and analysis. #1 - XiaoYi Yi - $60 The cheapest WiFi, rotating camera we recommend. Good reliability but it has a lithium ion battery so don’t use it in hot environments. Our Review: https://youtu.be/SRycas4M4DY Get it: Amazon (USA) : http://amzn.to/2jn04bx Amazon (UK) : http://amzn.to/2sRRCZ6 eBay (estore009): http://ebay.to/2xu2yiJ #2 Transcend 200 - $100 - For drivers in hot and humid environments who are on a budget and need something reliable. If not, look at the Yi or the A119 instead. Our Review: http://youtu.be/h9BYFZN7wX4 Get It - Tape Version Recommended Amazon USA - http://amzn.to/2ujshVV Amazon CAN - http://amzn.to/2gn40dT Amazon UK - http://amzn.to/2gMZMcz #3 Blackvue DR650GW-2CH - $350 Watch the review here: http://youtu.be/0LrIPxpk-WM Update: Nov 24th The Thinkware F770 is the better pick for most drivers. See our review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjEPJtQ5PdA #4 G1W - $40 - No longer recommended. There are good sellers but we think the A118C is a better buy for most drivers. #5 A118-C - $50 The original version purchased overseas is still the cheapest for $50. We think this is the cheapest camera you should purchase. There are counterfeits, you want the Viofo model. Our Review: http://youtu.be/BpAwLSuWReo Amazon UK: A118C: http://amzn.to/2u7w6QQ Updated A118C2 model - $80 Right now it's overpriced and the A119 is better but if you're looking to get it here's a few links: Amazon USA: http://amzn.to/2iuVk7C (OCDTronic) International: http://ebay.to/2ygAGMF (estore009) - - - - THE RIGHT SD CARD Make sure you pick the right SD card - cheaper cameras wear out faster in dash cameras (especially Sandisk Ultra!).

Blackvue DR650GW 2CH Dash Camera Review - 2016 Cloud Edition

The DR650GW is nearly four years old and no longer recommended.

It's a top choice for many luxury vehicles because of it's sleek style. While the video quality isn't amazing, that's common among dual channel cameras because of the added complexity. It makes up for it with an easier installation and great parking features. - - - UPDATE: Nov 24th, 2016 The Thinkware F770 is a better camera for most users over the Blackvue DR650GW. It has better functionality and video quality. See our review here: https://youtu.be/yjEPJtQ5PdA Blackvue has improved the footage since this review as new firmware was released. That update increased the bitrate which improves details in complex environments. DR650S Model Since this camera was reviewed Blackvue launched the "S" model but from our research and Blackvue's own statement, little has improved. The video quality is nearly the same.
