Why Eco-Friendly Packaging Box?

 With an estimated 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic circulating our oceans right now – and that number increasing by the day – plastic is a problem. Brands and packaging specialists are quickly turning their attention to materials that can replace plastic.

As mentioned earlier, single-use plastic effects are catastrophic and do not end or even begin with wastage treatment. Most customers are only aware of the process that happens at the end, but the truth is that serious harm is potentially caused at every stage of production, from being a raw material to transportation, manufacturing, and disposal.

Therefore, switching to eco-friendly packaging seems like a feasible solution to cut back on polluting our planet and endangering its inhabitants. And for this, the packaging industry and businesses have a major role in allowing environmentally friendly packaging to be part of the mainstream and, eventually, exponentially reduce if not eliminate plastic use.

Alarm.com integrates Apple TV and Amazon Echo in cloud-based platform



SHaaS (Smart-Home-as-a-Service) provider Alarm.com has integrated its cloud-based connected-home platform with Amazon's Echo wireless speaker and voice-command device as well as the new HomeKit-compatible Apple TV. 

Alarm.com's new Apple TV app, available from the tvOS App Store, sounds almost identical to the Amazon Fire TV app that the company launched last June. You can use it to watch live HD feeds from your home-security cameras on the biggest and most convenient screen in your home--your TV. According to the firm, the app’s interface includes support for multi-user logins and the viewing of video feeds from across multiple properties. Although the company's press release doesn't provide details, we presume that this new app can be used to view up to four camera feeds simultaneously, just like the Fire TV version. 

If there’s one area in which the Apple TV version appears to be somewhat superior to its Fire Stick counterpart, it's ease of navigation. This is due to the Apple TV’s touch-sensitive remote, which lends itself to smoother navigation than remotes that only have a physical D-pad. 

“The Apple TV Siri Remote with Touch surface also controls Alarm.com’s pan and tilt cameras, making it easy to see more of what’s happening around the home,” reads the press release. Speaking of Siri, it reminds us that you can’t still use your Apple TV to control smart-home devices with voice commands; that’s only possible on iOS-based mobile devices. 

But even if the opposite were true, it would be of no consequence in this particular case as Alarm.com is not on the fairly short list of HomeKit-certified services and devices. However, just out of sheer curiosity, we have asked the company if it has any plans to support HomeKit and, by extension, Siri-based voice control in the future. We will update this article as soon as we hear back. 

If your connected home is powered by Alarm.com, and you own Amazon's Echo, you'll soon be able to tell Alexa to turn your lights on and off. 

if you find voice control to be an essential feature for your connected home, on the other hand, you'll want to know that Alarm.com has added support for the Amazon Echo and its voice-activated digital assistant Alexa. While this voice-control feature is limited to smart lights at launch, the company says efforts are underway to expand it to other connected-home devices in ecosystem, beginning with smart thermostats. 

“With Amazon Echo and its cloud-based voice service named Alexa,” says the company, “a simple spoken command, such as ‘Alexa, turn on the living room lights,’ triggers a response in the home.” Alarm.com says users will be able to control both individual lights and user-defined groups of lights. 

The Alarm.com app is also available for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android devices, Windows Phone and, of course, Fire TV. The app itself is free, but it only works with an Alarm.com-powered security or home-automation system, which you can purchase from an Alarm.com-affiliated service provider. 

These service providers resell Alarm.com’s service and hardware (control panels, thermostats, sensors, lighting controls, security cameras, and more) on a subscription basis, often subsidizing the price of the hardware in exchange for the consumer signing a long-term contract (typically two years or more). According to Alarm.com’s website, a system typically costs $100 to 200 up front and $40 to $60 per month, depending on which services you opt for. 

Why this matters: Alarm.com revealed last year that its smart-home platform had more than 2.3 million residential and business subscribers as of December, 2014. To put that into perspective, according to research firm Park Associates, the company enjoyed a 50-percent lead over its next largest competitor, iControl, at the time. And iControl is no slouch itself, being the brains behind the security/connected-home offerings from companies such as ADT (Pulse), Comcast (Xfinity Home), Time Warner Cable (Intelligent Home), and Cox (Homelife).

TCL's new X1 is the latest 4K TV to show off the power of Dolby Vision HDR

CES 2016 is shaping up to be the year of HDR, and one of the most vocal proponents behind high dynamic range imagery has announced a pair of new content partners and a new line of televisions from TCL to help move the ball forward. Dolby has announced that this year both Universal Pictures and MGM will be releasing movies in Dolby Vision, the company's forward-thinking, high dynamic range system that helps display images that are brighter and sharper than traditional televisions, with better contrast and a strikingly improved range of colors. Ready to display those titles will be the newly-announced X1 line of televisions from TCL, which follow LG's new 4K OLED TVs as the latest devices to incorporate the technology — what already appears to be a clear trend at CES this year. 

The 65-inch X1, set to launch in the US later this year, features a 4K UHD screen utilizing quantum dot technology, with a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. For point of comparison, the Vizio Reference displays that have impressed us in the past max out at around 800 nits, and your normal modern television display clocks in at around 500 nits. (This brightness is important when dealing with things like sun glinting off a car's bumper; in Dolby Vision, those highlights pop just like they do in real life.) Matched with 288 zones of local dimming, the direct-lit television also supports a much wider color gamut, a built-in Harmon Kardon sound system, and a curved screen. When all of the Dolby Vision pieces fit together, the result is an image that is sharper, clearer, and more lifelike than what we've grown accustomed to from traditional displays. So much so that high dynamic range has been seen as the vital technology that could finally make 4K a must-have upgrade for consumers — but as with anything, there have been wrinkles. 


Like many things on the bleeding technological edge, high dynamic range has found itself the subject of a sort of mini format war. Dolby first started showing off its system several years ago — we were impressed after seeing Dolby Vision demos at the end of 2013 — and last year Vudu started adding Dolby Vision titles like Mad Max: Fury Road. But at the same time, companies like Samsung and Fox announced that they would be rolling out content and systems using a slightly different flavor of HDR, one that could work with televisions that weren't as bright as those Dolby required. When the official specification for Ultra HD Blu-rays was settled upon last year, it included that different, non-proprietary version of HDR as a standard, meaning that when Warner Bros. announced that it would be releasing 35 4K Blu-ray discs in HDR in 2016, those titles would have to support the non-Dolby version of HDR. 





But 4K Blu-rays still support Dolby Vision as an option, so with the landscape far from settled each new content and hardware partnership becomes even more vital. Dolby's long-term strategy is for as many titles to be mastered in its format as possible — something mastered in Dolby Vision can still gracefully degrade into the non-proprietary version of HDR if needed — hopefully making it the de facto choice on the post-production side of the industry even if it doesn't win in all of the television sets out there. Making the situation even more fluid, Dolby has also been bringing high dynamic range imagery into movie theaters with Dolby Cinema, a laser-based projection system that takes advantage of many of the same strengths as Dolby Vision and arguably creates a more organic, fluid pipeline from theater to home release, particularly for filmmakers like Pete Docter who have been quite enthusiastic about Dolby's solution. 

Of course, as with most television news at CES, it should all be considered a work in progress until customers can actually sit down at home with their new television and watch 4K HDR content for themselves. With the 65-inch X1 just the first in a line of Dolby Vision televisions from TCL — and the LG model already catching our eye as a contender for best television of the show — this may be the year that Dolby Vision finally starts to shine.See all of our CES 2016 news right here! 

Tablo brings live TV and OTA DVR capabilities to Apple TV

The much-anticipated Apple TV streaming service may have stalled, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to watch live TV with Apple’s newest set-top.

 

On Tuesday, Tablo announced a tvOS app that will let you watch live network television with an antenna on your 4th-generation Apple TV. This gives cord-cutters the ability to watch local news and live sports programming. The Tablo app also provides over-the-air DVR capabilities so you can record shows and watch them later. Tablo offers a 2-Tuner DVR device for $220 and a 4-Tuner DVR device for $300. These OTA DVRs require an external USB hard drive to store your recorded programs.

Tablo’s app for Apple TV will be available in the Spring, and it will be the first service to bring live TV and DVR recording capabilities to the Apple TV. 

Tablo also offers a subscription service of sorts. You can also subscribe to Tablo’s TV guide for $5 a month so you can browse and record upcoming programming. You can use the Tablo DVR devices and tvOS app without a subscription, but you will only be able to browse and set to record same-day shows. 

According to TechCrunch, the Tablo tvOS app is easy to setup but it takes some time to format the hard drive, scan for your OTA channels and download the TV guide subscription data. After that, however, navigating the app is straightforward with three sections: My Tablo, Live TV, and Recordings. 

One big perk of Tablo’s tvOS app is that it’s responsive to Apple TV’s voice-enabled remote control and Siri commands, so you can skip commercials by asking Siri to fast forward. 

Why this matters: Previously Tablo introduced similar apps for Roku, Chromecast, Fire TV, and Android TV, as well as mobile devices like tablets and smartphone. The company seems to think that live network television is still vital to would-be cord-cutters, especially programming like local news and live sports that can not be found on Netflix or Hulu. 

Apple seems to think so, too. Sources have stated that one of the reasons that the Apple TV streaming service has failed to get off the ground was that it was too difficult to include local programming. Thankfully services like Tablo can help fill the gaps in the meantime.

Samsung's New Flagship TV Is Like a Remote for Your Home

A TV used to just be a TV. Now, televisions aren’t just trying to be electronic hubs for all your entertainment needs. They’re also trying to become control centers for your future home—more all-in-one PC than boob tube. 

Samsung unveiled its new flagship SUHD 4K TVs at CES 2016 today, and it sets the stage for what to expect out of televisions moving forward: Console-level gaming without a console, smart home controls, and super-bright backlight systems designed for HDR viewing, all wrapped up in a slick, elegant package. 

The sleek KS9500 is Samsung’s new flagship model, and it certainly looks like it gets the “TV” part of the equation right. It’s a quantum-dot enhanced, HDR-capable set that pushes its brightness beyond 1,000 nits. That brightness comes in handy for things other than HDR: Samsung says the new set has been designed for viewing in both bright and dark environments, as consumer studies have indicated that most people watch their stories with the lights on or in broad daylight. 

And whether it’s powered on or off, it looks beautiful. The clean, curvy lines and metallic stand are similar to last year’s great-looking JS9500 SUHD set, but there are a couple of things missing. One, the bezel: The new set’s screen appears to just float in midair above the stand. And two, the screws: Samsung says it concentrated on giving the JS9500 a unibody look, and it designed the set to look smooth from all angles. 

But the KS9500 is also a smart-home hub, designed to work with SmartThings-compatible components. During a demo, Samsung showed how the set could be used to set up and control lighting schemes and be used as a big-screen baby monitor. It’s not just a fancy way to turn off a light or see who’s at the door from your couch, as you can group several IoT devices together and create “mood” schemes with one click. 

Samsung also announced a partnership with PlayStation Now and Gamefly that will bring games to the KS9500 without having to buy a console. Some slick conveniences are built into the set, too, such as the ability for it to recognize connected components and let you control them all with the included remote without having to configure anything.
