Genius DVR-HD500D Dual Lens Vehicle Recorder settles accident disputes once and for all

genius-dvr-hd500dHave you ever been involved in a fender bender before? Whenever there are no other eyewitnesses around other than you and the other person in the vehicle, it is only your word and the other person’s after lodging an accident report. If only there was a way for the authorities to see that you were totally not at fault apart from a verbal presentation. That is made possible with vehicle recorders, but the folks over at Genius have gone one step further with the Genius DVR-HD500D Dual Lens Vehicle Recorder that has just been announced to go for sale in North America.

The Genius DVR-HD500D Dual Lens Vehicle Recorder will see a couple of vehicle recorders, connected via a cable, do a fantastic job of making sure that nothing goes unnoticed in the event of an accident. There will be one recorder that is located on the front windshield, where it will record in 720p, while there will be another one that is located on the rear windshield, recording in 480p so that you have both ends covered. The Genius DVR-HD500D will be able to record road conditions that are both in front and behind the vehicle, simultaneously, where its 130 degree wide angle view and high-definition video capture would pave the way for excellent video quality during playback – which is extremely crucial when you need to pony up evidence that it is not your fault in an accident.

It made me wonder actually, how come standard vehicle recorders will only capture what is in front, and not behind? Looks like the folks over at Genius have already answered this particular issue, and just so that you know, the rear recorder will be hooked up to the DVR via a 19 feet long cable. Each time your vehicle is started, the recording will commence automatically, which means that all important evidence will be retained. All data will be stashed away on a microSDHC memory card, and the Genius DVR-HD500D will retail for $169 if you’re interested.

Arthritis Pain Relieving Lamp might just work wonders

arthritis-lampI suppose when you are at the end of your rope, and no longer have any more recourse when it comes to relieving the intense pain caused by your arthritis, then you would want to try just about anything as the situation gets more desperate. Instead of paying a visit to the nearest quack doctor or ask a snake oil salesman to drop by your home, how about giving the $149.95 Arthritis Pain Relieving Lamp a chance?

This particular Arthritis Pain Relieving Lamp will rely on far infrared heat in order to help soothe stiff, sore, and swollen joints. Located right behind the unit’s ceramic 6″ x 6.5″ glass panel, would be a 300-watt halogen lamp which is capable of radiating therapeutic heat over an area which measures 11.75″ x 15.75″. This particular therapeutic heat would be able to penetrate deep into tissue, which would be able to further ease pain as well as stiffness in order to boost circulation. When that happens, it is said to be able to speed up the healing process and help reduce inflammation overall. It will be different from lesser lamps that have limited adjustability, since this particular model comes with a couple of two large side handles so that users can easily tilt the head to any angle up to 50º in order to have it precisely target shoulders, knees, hands, or other areas affected by arthritis.

Pet Allergen Removing Air Purifier makes sure that Fido is not blamed for any sickness at home

allergen-removal-purifierHaving a cat or dog at home will certainly bring joy, as you can never quite tell what your furry friends are up to, as they do end up with some rather funny antics from time to time. Well, not everyone is born with the same kind of physical constitution, as some folks are allergic to the kind of pet fur that hangs around a room even when Fido is outdoors chasing down butterflies. There is the $595.95 Pet Allergen Removing Air Purifier which will help solve whatever issues with pet allergens in your home, thanks to the folks over at Hammacher.

The Pet Allergen Removing Air Purifier happens to be an air filter that was specially designed in order to help clean a pet owner’s home of allergens as well as odors cast off by dogs, cats, and other kind of animals which shed fur and leave a smell behind. This is made possible thanks to a medical-grade HEPA filter which will contain 15 lbs. of activated carbon that will capture 99.97% of particles which are larger than .03 microns. That would definitely go some way in making a home more comfortable for allergy-suffering family and guests, as the carbon blend incorporates ammonia-absorbing compounds which will eliminate common pet odors, which leaves air in the room smelling much fresher. There is a 360-degree intake which will draw air through a couple of pre-filters in an efficient manner, so much so that air in a room of up to 1,000 square feet will be exchanged every 30 minutes.

Stradivarian Smartphone Speaker delivers superb audio quality without costing too much

stradivari-speakerThere are smartphone speakers, and then there are smartphone speakers which offer you plenty of bang for your buck. Hammacher has unveiled the $39.95 Stradivarian Smartphone Speaker which you can tell gets its namesake from the famous violin maker, which obviously would translate to having it something to do with sound. In fact, what makes the Stradivarian Smartphone Speaker so special is the fact that it has the ability to amplify a smartphone’s audio without having to rely on a wireless or wired connection.

All that the Stradivarian Smartphone Speaker needs would be physical contact, where a compatible smartphone would be placed face-up on the speaker sans any connection, wireless or otherwise. How does it work its wonder? Well, it will align a smartphone with the speaker’s patented induction “sweet spot” so that audio will be amplified via a pair of down-firing, 2-watt speakers. There will be a quartet of silicone foot pads which will offer stand-off from any playing surface in order to eliminate unwanted vibration from the speaker’s housing, so that sound can reflect off the playing surface in order to fill up an entire room. The Stradivarian Smartphone Speaker would be powered by a rechargeable, removable battery that delivers up to 10 hours of playback from a mere two-hour charge thanks to the included USB charging cable.

Galileo has been named after the well known character from the past, where it happens to be a revolutionary iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform this time around that comes with infinite spherical rotation capability so that it will open up the doors of iPhone owners to a world of photo, pano, and video possibilities.

Jasper Eisenberg, Marketing Manager at Motrr, said, “We are thrilled to release Galileo, a device platform we hope will inspire creativity and allow for more immersive experiences with people from anywhere in the world.

Smurf Booklight brings some smurfi-ness into your life

smurf-booklightI am not sure about you, but I find the idea of blue characters running around the place, being extremely small in size, to be rather cute. Especially when they have been turned into a couple of mediocre full motion pictures that delight the kids more than the parents who are viewing it with their little ones. Well, one thing is for sure – the $19.99 Smurf Booklight is a surefire way of earning even more money for the Smurf empire in terms of merchandise, and hey – if it happens to be one of the few ways to encourage your little ones to start picking up the reading habit, why not?

The Smurf Booklight has been modeled right after AstroSmurf, where this star-bound Smurf’s jet pack will hold a couple of bright white LED lights (which are obviously energy efficient, of course), as it clips itself securely to your books using a cool red rocket. Accompanying the Smurf Booklight would be a flexible goose neck cable which makes sure that you will always end up with the necessary kind of coverage required. Three AAA batteries are required to power this Smurf Booklight that measures 2.5” in height, making us wonder whether that is, in fact, the actual height of a smurf. After all, no live specimens have ever been captured for further study, right?

Electric Paint Pen with Conductive Ink helps keep the kids occupied

electric-paint-penKids are easily excitable beings, and it does help if you happen to have something which is able to keep them occupied, especially during those long road trips, or in a particularly lengthy flight. Nowadays, most parents or guardians do from time to time, abdicate their position of being a nanny to the Nintendo 3DS or some other kind of mobile device. Well, whatever happened to being interactive with your own kids, and to have them cultivate other hidden talents such as drawing? This is where the Electric Paint Pen with Conductive Ink might come in handy, as it could unearth the next van Gogh.

Basically, the Electric Paint Pen with Conductive Ink will retail anywhere from $12.99 all the way to $19.99, depending on the kind of model that you choose. Either way, it will allow you to draw a circuit using conductive paint, which is a pretty cool process once you have gotten some experience with it. The Electric Paint happens to be a multipurpose electrically conductive material that is perfect for all of your DIY projects, except that it has been the recipient of the wonders of miniaturization, sized down all the way to being a pen applicator. This basically means you are able to paint circuits on walls, floors, tables, shirts, but do not try it on your skin! This is definitely an electrifying idea which is a radically different way of cultivating the drawing talent, no?
