Pioneer and Onkyo introduce the Rayz Rally lightning powered speakerphone

If you work in a corporate setting, you know what it’s like to attend meetings where some invitees opt to call into the meeting instead of attending in person. Speakerphones can often be confusing to use or just not work at all. Pioneer and Onkyo have introduced a pocket-sized solution that will allow you to bring your own speakerphone to your next meet. It’s the Rayz Rally and it’s been designed especially for iPhone users.

The Rayz Rally is a lightning powered device that plugs directly into an iPhone to provide a conference room speakerphone that’s small but powerful.

With no batteries required, the Rayz works fine for a one person meeting or a large meeting with a whole room of people.

Rally is the world’s first Lightning-powered plug-and-play speaker. Unlike other portable conference speakers, Rally has no battery. It is powered by your iPhone and is always ready when you are. Avnera’s LightX platform enables Rally to minimize the power used from the iPhone. Simply plug Rally into the Lightning port, initiate calls from your device and your call is automatically transferred to Rally’s powerful speaker. Rally adapts to the needs of the consumer; its use can be extended to internet calling on iPad and iPod touch, and on Mac and PC via a standard Lightning to USB cable. Create a conference call wherever and whenever you need to. It’s a new kind of experience that works effortlessly.

Although the speakerphone uses the lightning connector on your phone, you don’t need to worry if the call runs long because there’s a pass-through connection that you can use to charge your phone will the Rayz is in use.

The Pioneer Rayz Rally Lightning powered conference speakerphone is priced at $99.95 and is available at Apple.com and Amazon.

Logitech’s new Circle 2 home security camera is no longer stuck inside the house

Logitech, who are well known for their wide selection of high-quality mice and keyboards for the office and mobile devices, has recently unveiled an updated version of their home security camera the Circle 2. I reviewed the original Logitech Circle security camera a year and a half ago and liked it except for the low video resolution, indoor only design, and pricing. Logitech has improved two of my three complaints.

The new Logitech Circle 2 is now available in either a wired or wireless version. Both models of the camera are weatherproof and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

Logitech also offers several mounting solutions like the Weatherproof Case which makes sure the cables are protected from outside weather conditions.

There’s also a very cool looking Window Mount that sticks the Circle 2 right to the glass. I’m guessing that this mount doesn’t solve the problem with night vision IR reflecting against the glass, but I like that the window mount can…well… mount to the window!

The new Logitech Circle 2 cameras offer 1080p HD resolution, night vision, 180-degree wide-angle lens, and two-way talk and listen.

The wired and wireless Circle 2 cameras are priced at $179.99 and $199.00 respectively, and just like the original camera, the Circle 2 has 24-hours of free, encrypted cloud storage with the option to purchase a Circle Safe subscription plan that provides 14 days or 31 days of storage.

You can read more about the Circle 2 cameras at logitech.com and pre-order through Amazon. Specific shipping dates have not yet been announced.
