Ok hardware- terrible software
930592
When it works the piper is great- sends alerts to my phone with clips of the video. Unfortunately the app often fails to connect to the unit, and I will have to refresh it over and over until it connects. This can often take several minutes which means there is no way I would consider using the siren feature. Ok for what it is, but won't work as a bone fide security system until they figure out the software

Nice hardware (really nice), sorely let down by a terrible app.

Pros:
- Good hardware, nice design. Very compact. Lots of good features.
- Using it as a memory card backup (e.g. SD to thumbdrive or SD to another SD via USB) works ok, as does most of the other 5 in 1 features.
- Decent battery capacity but not earth shattering.

Cons:
- Only has facebook and twitter share options from the app. In order to share with other services like flicker, instagram etc one has to download to your phone/tablet first, which is entirely a slow process. So to me this makes it only a 4 in 1 and it was this item that really sold me the device in the first instance. So I really don't use this at all as a result. Makes a great paper weight though!
- Would be nice to have a copy option that only copies files that aren't in the destination folder, which would make the device very useful as a backup option. Right now it is very painful to backup my camera memory card as I have no way of creating folders from the camera manually and if I want to backup at the end of each day, I have to manually select photos that weren't backed up (see below).
- On a large memory card it is very difficult to get to the latest photos (no way of sorting in descending order!?)
- Gets very laggy when scrolling through lots of photos after using it for a while.
- Zero way (it appears) to get in touch with Kingston about making it better.
- No app updates since I purchased it in July.

Works pretty decent but the software is kind of a pain in the ass. Seems like other people have had the same issue with it. I haven't noticed any bump in performance comparing it to my kingston. As of recent it started to fail on me and the system quit recognizing it. I will be returning it for a new replacement.

Good hardware, terrible WebUI. Disappointing OpenWRT support over the years, the one thing this device should excel at and it falls flat on it's face.

This is the worst hardware I have ever had the displeasure to buy. I bought it from nomorerack.com because it was a "deal" at $59. Unfortunately, the browser is so unbelievably slow that it's only usable if you don't mind waiting 3 minutes for each click (not an exaggeration). I don't believe that anyone can run netflix or any other video service on this, as the processing power is simply too small - thus my conclusion that anyone giving this 5 stars must be astroturfing.

Also, it frequently crashes and needs to be rebooted. Absolutely unusable. My wife's phone is faster and has a better screen, so the tablet offers nothing for her. I have to buy another tablet now, so that's $59 I lost in an experiment.

Terrible device, poor OS. Did not function. Was a DOA. Stick to the known brands.

I got the Onix350 during a wootoff for about $65.  The hardware is excellent.  The software is incredibly bad.  The pros and cons are below:

Pros:

The GPS system is extremely sensitive and unlike the majority of GPS systems, can acquire satellite signals below deep forest canopies.  I had read about this capability before I bought the unit, and choose it for that reason.  I live in the middle of the woods and wanted a unit that would work while hiking in the heavily wooded areas near my home.  In fact, the unit acquires signals inside my house which is surrounded by trees.  I am writing this review in my living room, and the unit has acquired seven satellites with three in the green (strong signal).  My garmin unit cannot acquire a single satellite when I am inside the house.  I do not know whether this is due to the electronics or a good antennae, but it matters not ... this unit has superb signal acquisition.

The display is very good but not outstanding.  It is plenty bright, but the resolution is only medium.  But the color is excellent and the ability to overlay either topographic maps or aerial maps is a very nice feature.  But you will have to pay for these maps, and you should count on adding at least another $20 to collect enough maps to make this unit useful (see below).

Cons:

The web software is terrible.  The Bushnell web site is disorganized and seemingly designed to prevent the user from getting to where they want to be.  For simply registering the product, you get four free downloads which is enough to get you around your neighborhood, and thats it.  The maps are small in area coverage, and hard to download. You will need to use trial and error to get what you want, so only having four free downloads is a tease and an insult.

If you are running Vista, then I recommend you buy another GPS.  The combination of Vista paranoia and the Bushnell web site makes it nearly impossible to download maps.  There is no Mac support, so forget about that as well.  But I was able to download maps using Windows XP, although the process was convoluted and tiresome.  The instructions are obscure, and often incorrect.  Downloading maps to the GPS is a three or four step process, involves multiple windows, great patience and adequate karma.  You will be cussing out the software engineers who designed this junk well before you have achieved success.  I am guessing the software development was farmed out to Siberian potato farmers without access to computers or heat.

Summary:

Great hardware, terrible software.  Count on adding another $20 for map downloads.  This will give you unlimited downloads for 90 days.  I paid $30 for one year of "free" map downloads, but in retrospect, the extra $10 may have been a mistake.  I will lose patience long before 90 days are up.  Nevertheless, after you suffer the indignation of dealing with the obscure and obscenely incompetent map download system, you will have an excellent GPS that works well in the deep forest.  I know of no other GPS with comparable signal acquisition capabilities.

I finally got this working, so the unit is great, but the software is beyond terrible. It was a true headache to get through the setup (windows 7). For those of you have the same issues, here's what I did: The supplied CD has slightly older software. It would recognize the bridge during setup, but in the next step, it would freeze and crash when looking for wifi networks. I did this 15 times and I tried everything. So, I then updated to the newest software available from vonets' website. This time it wouldn't crash, but it would not find ANY wifi networks. I then turned off my laptop's wifi adapter, so that the vonet bridge was the only connection. That move caused the software to crash upon startup every time. Finally, what worked was: leaving my laptop wifi on during sofware startup and the first step, then right as you click to go the the next step of wifi network search, turned off my laptop wifi. After that song and dance, the program didn't freeze and it found my wifi. As a cherry on top, the software said my networks setting save "failed"... luckily that was just another bug; the adapter did save and continued to work fine. I plugged it into my xbox 360 after setup and has worked flawlessly with no hiccups.

Happy with the device, NOT SO HAPPY with the software interface with Windows 10.  VERY FLAKEY  won't read the RPM's on it's own device, or my MSI GTX 970 vid card installed on a Asus m/b 2011-v3 Intel CPU  The fans spin on the cooler, but don't register in their software.  There is no tweaking of the setup, Everything is default in this Windows 10 setup.

The hardware itself was what I expected but the user experience was poor.  I actually had to change my WiFi password because their admin screens did not URL encode this request.  I almost shipped it back due to this alone.  It also has items on the admin screen that were changeable but didn't actually save some fields.  Lastly, the camera viewing only works well in Internet Explorer.  On Firefox the controls didn't function at all.  The Android application was okay but was clunky.  Overall, the software side let the hardware side down.

The hardware component is fine. Not the best material/construction
but acceptable and does the job OK.

But the software component and instructions are absolutely horrible. I
eventually ended up using Goldwave (Audacity is another option),
but the initial setup process and the use of Goldwave was extremely
poor. The initial installation gives the impression that installing
Audacity is an available installation option. No true. If you want to
install Audacity, you have to download and install it yourself. No
problem there. However, unless I installed iTune, it would not work!
So I had to install iTune in order to use Audacity or Goldwave. After
the first use, I decided to uninstall iTune, thiking that may be the
configuration files, etc note that I am using a different software. I
could no longer use the device. I had to re-install iTune in order to
continue using the device. That is extremely poor. I ended up
installing iTune/Quickplayer for no reason other than being able to
use the hardware with Goldwave (Audacity).

Five stars for acceptable results, 1 star for the forceful
installation of iTune and poor installation instructions.

The device itself seems to work ok, but I could not get the supplied software to work. Neither program would even load on my Vista pc. On my Win8 pc they loaded but one program would not work at all and the other worked sporadically then died. (Sorry I don't remember which was "ez-grabber" and which was the "showbiz".) I finally wrote it all off and bought another product - the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3. Not as (potentially) powerful, but at least it works.

The camera itself was super easy to set up, good quality picture.

BUT - and this is a huge but - the software was horrible.  The videos are in a proprietary format and can't be viewed anywhere outside of their horrible software.  if anyone has a way to convert them please let me know.  when you put in in motion detect mode it creates a ton of files every time it sees motion and the only way you can view them is in their software while shows little thumbnails of the video just a few at a time.  The software is PAINFULLY slow and I have a really fast computer.  So imagine trying to sort through about 500 video files when you can only see a thumbnail of maybe 12 at a time when it takes between 30 and 45 seconds to pull up each video to actually view it.  makes me want to just chunk the camera.

So if you only want to view real-time videos this camera is great.  just don't use it to try and view or do anything with the videos that it has saved from the motion detector.  I turned off the motion detector and I'm just using it now to view watch the wife and kid while I'm out of town.

I also ran into all kind of issues with out of date certificates.  You can't pull anything up at all hardly unless you go through and completely disable the security for the certificates.  It was really frustrating and unless you're fairly good with computers and the security setup the software would be flat out unusable.

The hardware on this motherboard is second to none; but unfortunately the thing is highly hindered by the massive amount of bloated software that you must install in order to get the hardware working. For instance; if you wish to install the Audio Drivers it will against your will install Sonic Radar. The Audio Drivers will constantly cause software to crash whenever you boot your system until you install Asus Suite 3. Now you have 3 separate pieces of software when you only wanted to install an Audio Driver. To make matters worse; the Asus Suite is basically a system monitoring application. If you already have something like a Corsair H100i; then you will now have software redundancy unless you wish to forfeit your ability of controlling the H100i by uninstalling Corsair Link.

Even worse, Asus Suite is not a single application but a set of stand alone applications: each with their own interface. Several of these applications want to boot up when Windows starts and will eat up your task-bar and increase boot times.

Verdict:
It is unfortunate, but the software is just a mess. Every motherboard I have ever owned has been an Asus but it is sad to say that this may be my last Asus motherboard. It is trivial to pay for high end hardware when the software required to run that hardware brings down the entire machine making it feel as if you had never upgraded your system in the first place.

**update**
The Bluetooth drivers will pop a message in the bottom right corner of the screen each time you toggle caps lock, nums lock, or scroll lock. This may either cause your game to minimize or flicker. There is no way to disable this without manually editing the registry.

**update**
The fan connectors are not PWM even though they are 4 pin.
Quoting ASUS: "Chassis fan headers control in DC mode only - and that will control 4 pin fans but not in PWM mode."

The problem with this router is not the hardware, it's the software that comes with it. After initial installation, it became impossible to do anything - to add another device, change the password, etc. The software just gets stuck in an infinite loop (right now, for example, it is trying to "retrieve router settings" for the last half an hour). Then there are endless cryptic error messages ("Unhandled error, please see liloblog for more information" - excellent idea: I'm going to spend this weekend reading 'liloblog'!).

Prime example how (some of) modern technology can quickly turn into a frustrating time sink.

This software encapsulates how bad software can make the computing experience so aggravating.  I was looking to make a custom countertop to wrap around an island.  A pretty basic task.  But that was supported in this version - only the Architectural version.  Tried to upgrade, but it wouldn't take my product code.  So I downloaded the trial.  The trial wouldn't allow file saves (one of the few companies with such a restrictive trial policy), and it hung the computer several times to the point I couldn't even bring up the Windows task manager.  So I backtracked to the original purchased software and hangs as well - for about 5-7 seconds after moving an object.  I have a very capable computer with loads of memory and dual core i7's.

Good riddance!  I will go back to the free Ikea designer.  It's slow, but at least it works.

I like the hardware, but this is a filing system, so have to consider the software too.
The software is unstable and crashes often. The worst thing: sometimes I scan something, and discover that it wasn't saved! - impossible to scan important stuff this way.
Also, the desktop software is difficult to export from if you put your scan in folders (export one folder at a time...), and it's not really developed anymore because they want you to buy their cloud services (presumably, a system as closed as the desktop one).
