PLUGHITZ Live Presents (Video)

iDevices is a favorite of Jeffrey, who personally uses one of their thermometers. This year, the company is launching 4 new thermometers which connect to your iPhone or iPad to help you know when the food is done.

The company also manufactures other products, such as the iSwimband, which allows parents to keep track of their child's time in a pool. When the device is under water for a pre-determined period of time, the device can alert a phone so that you know there could be a problem with a child or other person under the water too long.

The Kitchen Thermometer is available $39.99 to $79.99 and the iGrill ranges from $39.99 to $99.99.

D-Link always has a lot to show off at CES. One of the products they demonstrated was a network video recorder, which has the ability to record the video from up to 9 IP cameras. All video is stored on an internal drive and can be displayed via HDMI or D-Link's mydlink.

In addition to the NVR comes a low-light IP webcam. Capable of capturing video with light levels as low as 0.1 lux standard, with a built-in LED to illuminate up to 50 feet when the light levels dip below 0.1 lux. Obviously, this camera is compatible with the NVR above.

Both of these devices will be available in April for $379.

While replacing the touch keyboard is good for shorter text input, sometimes you just need a physical keyboard for large text entry. During CES, we write articles from the floor, and there is no substitute for the physical keyboard.

If you are an Apple user, the Kanex Multi-Sync Keyboard can fit that space. This full-size keyboard has the ability to connect to multiple devices through Bluetooth, with easy switching through the function keys.

Unfortunately, the keyboard uses the chicklet-style keys, which is not much better than typing on a screen. Hopefully we will see a future version of the keyboard using keys that are designed for real typing.

OmniMount has been a big part of our broadcast this year. Even the table in the broadcast booth is built based on their sit/stand desk base. It was obvious that we needed to bring them on to talk about some of their products.

One of the mounts the company is particularly proud of is the PJT40 projector mount. This new, universal projector mount is easy to install, requiring only a single person. I have installed other projector mounts in the past and it has not been an easy process.

The new mount is available now for $179.

Not all of the products at the show are for business, health or security; some are just for pleasure. That is certainly the place where BeeWi succeeds, bringing us a collection of mobile-controlled battle bots.

The robots, which will run $35 when they become available this year, are controlled by a smartphone or tablet. These bots can be controlled by devices running Android, iOS or windows Phone, meaning anyone can enjoy the ridiculous fun these toys provide.

When traveling, or even just in the course of a normal day, having a charger for your phone can be an issue. Somehow, you never have it when you need it. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out a way to charge a phone without the charger.

That time is now. GoProng is a smartphone case, currently available for the iPhone, that has a charger built-in. Just flip the plug out from the back of the case and plug it into the wall.

The iPhone cases start at $59.95, with common Android models to follow.

Goji Access is a smart lock that makes securing your home easier. With the built-in camera, you can see who is at the door before opening it, or see who was at the door if they have access and unlock it themselves. You can also send a custom greeting to the lock's screen.

There are 3 different ways to gain direct access: Bluetooth LE, smartphone and keyfob. Through the different key options, you can control the access based on time. For example, if a cleaning crew comes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the lock can prevent access to their key on Mondays.

Goji Access is expected to be available in March 2014.

Awarded one of the TPN.tv Innovator Picks, GeoNaute 360 is an action camera designed to take a full 360 degree photo or record 360 degree videos.

The video can be watched using the GeoNaute viewer, which enables the viewer to adjust the viewing angle at any point during playback. You can also edit the video using a standard video editing program, and play back in the app continuing to have the 360 degree option.

One of the really interesting aspects of the camera is its ability to record in 2K video at 25 frames-per-second. 2K is the resolution between standard HD and UHD, or 4K. The video is also compatible with the Oculus VR glasses, giving a virtual tour of a location. The camera will retail for only $499.

When a product comes to the studio that completely steals Jeffrey's attention, you know it is a cool product. Gazercam's line of camera stabilizers is one of those products.

Designed for phones, cameras and DSLRs, this digital stabilization system can keep photos and video stable in even the most stressful conditions. Jeffrey tests the Gazercam all through the interview and is consistently surprised by its ability to keep up with his movements. With the calibration system, you can even keep the camera stable at an unusual angle, allowing for comfortable holding and stabilization.

The Gazercam product line is not yet available, but, through the success of their Kickstarter campaign, hope to launch within North America in the first half of the year.

Services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Instant are great if you are Paramount or Universal, but what if you are a small, independent filmmaker? How can you get your content onto the web without just giving your content over to YouTube and hoping it plays? Also, how can you monetize your content?

FLM.TV has created a platform exactly for this purpose. Publishers can add content and charge a fee to watch it. Along with standard publishing, there is a concept for party watching, allowing a group of people to watch together, including with the publisher. This is a great way for the filmmaker to get feedback on the content being shown. The creators and cast could even create a live Q&A session through the system.

This is a great platform for any independent content creator - film, television or even podcast. For more information on the technology, you can check out FLM.TV.
