LifeShield’s New HD Video Doorbell is a great addition to their home security automated system


NEWS – Last year, I tested and reviewed LifeShield’s DIY Home Security System that included a modern security base and panel along with a security camera and all of the necessary security accessories. This is a completely wireless security system although the base station does include the option for using an Ethernet cable and beyond your wireless network, there is cell service built in for continuous monitoring. Since I tested and reviewed the system, it has remained installed in my home as the security system of choice and has performed all functions reliably and effectively.

Now there is a new addition to add even more flexibility and automation. LifeShield has just announced the new HD Video Doorbell that can be added to their existing system and allow for video monitoring of anyone near your door. According to LifeShield, “The new Wi-Fi-enabled doorbell camera, featuring full 1080p HD video resolution and two-way audio support, allows homeowners to screen visitors with clarity and engage them in conversation through the LifeShield mobile app or security touchpad. The video doorbell can be installed and operated through hardwire or via an optional rechargeable battery. The LifeShield HD Video Doorbell also features sophisticated day and night vision modes, giving homeowners the ability to see approaching visitors at any time of the day, including in low light or cloudy conditions. Through the LifeShield home security system, homeowners can record and store media clips, and watch it live on-demand at their convenience. The camera’s motion detection technology can distinguish between people and other objects, preventing unneeded notifications and recordings.”

With the recent explosion of package thefts of packages left at front doors and on porches, several companies have released video doorbells. LifeShield’s new doorbell is a common sense addition to their current security ecosystem, and if it performs as well as the rest of their equipment, it will be a well-received addition.

The new LifeShield HD Video Doorbell will be available for purchase on their website in the second quarter of 2019.

KetoCoach is a blood testing meter for ketosis

NEWS – You’ve probably heard of the popular Keto diet as an aid for losing weight, but did you know that a diet like Keto that is high in fats and low to no carbs can also help people with epilepsy? The Keto diet focuses on keeping your body in ketosis and in order to know if your body is in that state, there are three ways to measure ketones. You can test the blood, urine, or breath. Testing urine is the most cost effective but the results are the least accurate of the three methods. Testing the blood using a meter and test strips is considered the gold standard of ketone testing accuracy, and those who are using the Keto diet as a treatment for epilepsy are typically required to test with blood. One issue with testing the blood for ketones is that tests can run as much as $3 per test. An alternative is the KetoCoach meter and strips which only cost $0.59 cents per test. The KetoCoach meter comes with 10 test strips and is priced at $39.95. You can subscribe to their test strip program which is $29.95 for an additional 50 strips. The subscription doesn’t require a contract and can be canceled at any time. For more info visit KetoCoachx.com.

Grace Digital looks back to move forward with the new Mondo+ Classic internet radio

NEWS – Back in 2012, I reviewed the Grace Digital Mondo Wi-Fi Music Player and Internet Radio and liked it a lot. Say what you will about the viability of internet radios in today’s world of smartphone radio apps, the still popular Mondo is available from Grace Digital as the improved Mondo+. Grace has now gone a step further and made an improved retro/traditional looking version of the Mondo—the Mondo+ Classic wireless internet radio. This radio looks like a cross between the original Mondo+ and the newer Encore+ Wi-Fi speaker and internet radio.

Like the Mondo+, the Mondo+ Classic comes with access to over 100,000 internet radio stations as well as Bluetooth and Chromecast. The Classic can be controlled via the front panel, an included infrared remote or even the Grace Digital smartphone app. It doubles as a bedside alarm clock with 5 custom settings, snooze and sleep timers and daytime/nighttime back-lit display. 

Despite its small size, an integrated Class D 25 watt amplifier with 4” full range speaker delivers deep bass and crisp highs. Customize the sound from 5 preset equalizer settings or modify the bass and treble to your personal taste. Supported audio formats include AIFF, AIFC, WAVE, CAF, NeXT, ADTS, MP3, AAC/ACC+, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WMA. A 3.5” full color backlit LCD display shows relevant station info as well as album art and artist and song data.

The built in apps include iHeartRadio, CBS radio, BBC, NPR, SiriusXM (subscription required), sleep sounds, Calm radio, SHOUTcast, Live365, and podcasting. Play Amazon Prime music, iTunes and any other music via Bluetooth 4.1. It works with 802.11b/g/n routers (Amazon music app will be embedded in January 2019). Available via the smartphone app is Pandora, TuneIn, Google play, Spotify, YouTube music, BBC, NPR and hundreds of others. The Mondo+ Classic can also be connected to a PC, Mac or NAS drive.

Because of the Chromecast built-in function, you can group the Mondo+ Classic with any of Grace Digital’s speakers that have built-in Chromecast for flexible and custom audio everywhere in the home. You can connect an external audio device to the line in jacks, or connect the Mondo+ Classic to your home stereo via the line output jacks. You can also charge your smart phone via a USB jack or a 10 watt Qi charging pad on top of the radio!

The Grace Mondo+ Classic wireless internet radio comes in both black or walnut wood grain finish. It is available now and sells for $249.99 US. Visit Grace Digital for more information.
