The Quicklock Padlock is the smartest and most capable electronic padlock in the world. It ditches easily-lost keys and forgotten combinations in favor of NFC and Bluetooth technologies. SafeTech Products is launching a new evolution of safety and security through its NFC technologies, and with built-in data tracking, the Quicklock Padlock is more than just a smart lock—it can even be used as a portable inventory management or entry solution.
One phone can be used to control multiple padlocks. Because a number of different NFC-enabled wearable tech items can be used to unlock the padlock as well (including fobs, rings, and keycards), the need for multiple keys is eliminated. AND, a single Quicklock Padlock can store up to 50 NFC fobs/tags with rights unlock it.
Here is an interesting video of the padlock in action:
We were given a Byrobot Drone figter to test at CES 2015:
We are huge fans of drones and want to really delve into the various types sizes, and brands.
So far we are quite impressed, and will do a follow up review of it once we more thoroughly test it. One of my teen age sons has been testing it as well and is quite impressed.
Here is a Youtube video that we were sent a link to from a flyover that the folks from Byrobot did at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
Sadly enough we do not, at this point have the camera.
We are still learning to fly the wee device but this is a cool image from Byrobots site showing the flight capabilities of the mini drone–>
So far it is a nice device.
The one thing that I wish it had was a gyroscope of some sort so that it can hover in place.
We will have a follow up article and some videos as well once we are more versed in flying it.
One nice aspect of the product is the quite decent flight simulator software that it comes with. One can plug the tiny controller that comes with the quadcopter into your pc and you can practice flying it in a virtual environment.
Recently I had the opportunity to test and review the mophie juice pack® – Samsung Galaxy S® III battery case. I was quite impressed to say the least. I also had the opportunity to test the powerstation battery pack as well.
The design and construction of both were very nice. I tested the black juice pack with my Samsung Galaxy S3 and really like how it felt in the hand as well as the radical increase in battery life and its’ ability ability to let the phone be used for a long duration. I also tested the mophie juice pack powerstation® and it is also a solid device that really improves the life of products for people that need to charge their devices when away from a convenient power plus or usb port. It would be great on a train, bus, ship or airplane or for use while camping.
