Wow! We're in year 16 of The Giz Wiz Show! (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006!) If it wasn't for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

The "joy" of trying to replace my Dropcam on my boat.

 

After 35 years or more I dropped my Verizon landline phone at my boat. It was getting so unrelieable that I had service maybe 35% of the time. (And lots of luck getting Verizon to fix a copper line at a marina!) However, trying to use my Dropcam again didn't happen because it's so old it can only be set up hooked to a computer & Windows10 only recognizes it as a USB device it doesn't recognize! As you'll see on this week's show getting a security cam working took some doing. But I ended up with the Eufy Security 2K Indoor Cam working fine. It has Pan & Tilt, Human & Pet AI, Voice Assistant Compatibility, Motion Tracking and more. You can set it for 2K, but I selected 1080P since my neighbor said: "Please use my Wifi" and I didn't want to hog any extra bandwidth. I also set it so the camera only comes on while the app is open. That way I'll need Wifi when I check my boat maybe a couple of times a day. (More during storms.) You'll see and hear the whole story on this week's show and how Chad is using 4 or 5 Eufy security cams at his house. The Eufy 2K Security Indoor Cam is about $52.00 on Amazon.
