Want a portable power bank, wireless AP SD card, and USB reader for your mobile

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:15.679
devices? Check the link in the video description to learn more about the ADA

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:21.920
Dash Drive Air AE400. Now, the irony of a product that is designed to uh prevent

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:26.800
theft of your devices is that it comes in the most like theft proof packaging I

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.960
think I've ever seen. You can't even open the thing. And now I've gone and ripped up the user manual. It's okay

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:36.559
though cuz we have another one. This is the Anova Pro Tag. So, the idea of this

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:40.399
is that it's a card-sized device. So, you can see it's quite slim, designed to

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.320
fit in your wallet or your purse or your passport holder or whatever else that

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.200
helps protect your belongings and makes it harder for you to lose your

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.160
smartphone, which I personally think is a good thing. All right. It uses

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.160
Bluetooth. It's compatible with Android and Blackberry smartphones. It can sync

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:57.120
to your mobile slot and Okay, why don't we just do what it actually does? Okay.

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:01.840
So, the phone alarm rings when you exceed the predetermined distance from your belongings, which is preset to 10

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.879
m, but can be adjusted. And it allows you to secure your mobile phone to you

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.159
can track down your stolen phone via SMS. If the SIM card is replaced, new

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:13.040
number details will be sent to you. That's very cool as well. So, it has 150

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.200
hour long battery life and is chargeable via a built-in USB cable. So, let's go

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.600
ahead and have a look at the actual device itself. So, there's three

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:25.000
different uh buttons or things on here. One looks like an LED indicator. The

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:29.119
next thing says power/discovery. And the last one says

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:33.439
distance. So it looks like that's how you configure the distance. Over here

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:38.159
appears to be the built-in USB connector. So you can slide that out

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:42.479
with a simple little thumb slider right here. Slide that in and out. And you can

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.840
charge it for that 150 hour battery. So let's go ahead and fire this up. There's

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:51.439
an app that you install on your phone, obviously. So let's see if we hold that

00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:54.159
down. Look at that. Comes with a little bit. Oh, no. It's flashing blue and red.

00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.240
So, we're going to figure out how to use this, and then we're going to do a quick uh test here. So, there's basically

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.479
three main menu things here. So, number one is the settings. So, you can set it

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.600
up to send an SMS to your saved number when the SIM change is detected. And

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.239
then you can also do mobile tracking with SMSing Protag base password to your

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.480
phone's to your mobile number to track your phone's location. So, there's a default password which you can change.

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:21.120
You can also change your alarm settings, whether you want it to ring on silent,

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:26.000
and uh what volume you want it to use when the phone itself is on silent. Next

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.640
up, you've got adding Protag devices. So, all you need to do to do this is

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:35.519
hold power/discovery until it flashes blue and red. So, hopefully that'll

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.920
happen pretty quickly here. There we go. So, blue and red flashing. Then you

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.120
click add device and it works like pretty much any other Bluetooth thing

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.840
where it takes a second and then fires up.

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:56.480
So, that takes about 10 seconds. And once that's done, it gives you a little popup showing you how it pretty much

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.360
works. So, you can snooze the alarm if you go too far away from the device. So,

00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:04.519
you can set an amount of time. Don't bother me about this for a little bit. You can stop monitoring until you start

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.640
it again manually, or you can immediately continue to monitor it, say

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:12.560
if you move closer to it, and you're ready to go. Okay, so we've got Protags

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:18.040
one and two. So, I'm going to go ahead and call this one. I'm going to change

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:20.800
the little setting here.

00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:24.000
Wallet. Okay. It helps if you spell wallet right. There you go. So, I'm

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:27.599
going to take this one and put it in my wallet. So, just for comparison, this is

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:31.599
3 mm, which isn't quite the thickness of a card, but it's the same shape as a

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.360
card, which makes it sort of something that at least can fit in a wallet. My

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:39.200
wallet's not that big, but it fits in there just fine. So, the Let's go

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.640
through the rest of the settings for our wallet device. So, there's a last disconnected date and time, last known

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:50.239
location, which you can check, as well as a proximity alert. So, the device is

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.560
already within range, and connected. Uh,

00:03:50.239 --> 00:03:55.599
delete this device. And that is pretty much it. So, let's go ahead and let's go

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:01.599
ahead and see how it works. So, I'm going to try and leave my wallet on the unboxing table, and I'll take this one

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:04.640
with me because I don't want anything bad to happen. So, it's time for a

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.239
practical test. Now, while this isn't the sort of thing I'd see myself using

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:11.760
every day, it's the kind of thing that maybe while I'm traveling would be

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.479
incredibly useful. So, you throw one of them in, say, for example, your luggage.

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.720
You throw one of them in your wallet and hope you don't lose your phone. So,

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:25.040
unlike the Kensington Proximo, an alarm doesn't go off cuz that one uses little

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:28.080
fobs that you can put on your keys, for example. And that one has an alarm that

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.680
goes off on the fob that tells you if you left your phone behind, which is

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.400
kind of neat as well, but only works on iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, whereas this one

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.919
is Android. So, there's there's some different sort of uh advantages and

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:43.680
disadvantages you got away. But I just want to show you guys basically how long

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:47.199
it'll take for me to go, okay, wallet secured. So, I'm going to put that in

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:50.639
the pocket where I also have my luggage pro tag. Then, I've got my wallet

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:58.000
protag, which I put in my wallet. I'm going to accidentally drop my wallet on the concrete and walk away.

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:04.960
So, we'll see how far I get. I'm at my motorbike. There's B-roll's

00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:07.120
car. And oh, there it goes. So, I can

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:12.360
snooze the alarm, stop monitoring, or reconnect. So, you lost your belonging

00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:16.960
wallet. Let's go ahead and go back there. And I'm going to try and

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.000
reconnect and see if it can uh see if it can pick that back up for

00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:27.840
me. There we go. wallet is now secured

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.800
and on now that I have been reunited with it. Thank you for checking out my

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:36.520
unboxing and first look at the Protag. Don't forget to subscribe to Lance Tech for more unboxings, reviews, and other
