CRI Genetics DNA Testing Kit


Ancestry questions? Your DNA has answers.

-Reinvent the way you see yourself—with Dual Ancestry Reports + Advanced Ancestry Timeline

-Our Advanced Ancestry Timeline takes you back 50+ generations, to find out exactly WHEN and WHERE your ancestors are from

-Get the FULL picture of your family history, by matching your DNA with 642,824 genetic markers

-Founded by a Harvard-trained geneticist, who proved a Nobel Prize-winning theory

-Unique BioGeographical Ancestry algorithm gives you the power of genetics, anthropology, and history—combined

-8-Week Efficiency Guarantee – The lab process of examining DNA can be very time-consuming, especially if there are several customer samples coming in at once. At CRI Genetics, we offer a unique “Efficiency Guarantee” to ensure that you’re protected from delays. If we can’t get your reports ready within 8 weeks of receiving your DNA, you get your money back. This doesn’t happen often, but if it happens to you, we don’t want you to pay for your reports!(most get done within 4 weeks once received at the lab)

- Your information is secure – The moment we receive your DNA sample, we separate all personal information from it and encrypt ALL data. From that moment forward, we only know your DNA through a random serial number on your DNA collection kit. We do not share your information without your explicit consent and we take extra steps to ensure that our security is never breached.

YoLink Smart Home – Starter Kit


The whole family can benefit from some amount of home automation. Whether you are interested in remotely testing smoke detectors, lowering your monthly electricity bill or arriving to a warm and well-lit home each evening, there are many smart devices available to make it happen.

The YoLink smart home starter kit features a variety of sensors to monitor doors, windows and water usage, in addition to a smart plug and hub. YoLink brand products harness the power of Semtech’s LoRa® wireless radio frequency technology, empowering complete and reliable coverage and automation of your home.

Ucam


Ucam was born out of a partnership with Tenvis, a verteran in the IP Camera space known for manufacturing best-selling home security cameras including “Amazon’s choice” for pet cameras. Ucam runs on IoTeX’s infrastructure, which applies two important guiding principles: “privacy by design” and “full user control”, with blockchain based identities serving as the credentials for Ucam’s login and video feed access control. In short: ​Blockchain-powered privacy meets best-selling secure hardware.

With Ucam, neither IoTeX or Tenvis has ANY access to device data and we couldn’t sell it or share it with advertising partners even if we tried. How is this possible? When you first open your Ucam and pair it with your phone, you will be prompted to initiate a blockchain-login. This blockchain-login process generates a SINGLE encryption key which is stored under root access on your phone. From there, every part of Ucam and the Ucam application’s design is meant to give users modular access over video feed access control and privacy. Ucam is literally dripping with privacy. Don’t take our word for it. Try it for yourself.

Pavlok 3


We all love to set new goals. We’re just not always good at sticking to them.

YubiKey


The YubiKey is a physical two-factor authentication (2FA) device to protect your online accounts like Gmail, Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, and more. The idea is that without physical access to your YubiKey, hackers can't gain access to your accounts even if they have your username and password. According to a Google study, physical security keys — like the YubiKey — are the most secure form of 2FA that can protect against sophisticated cyber attacks like phishing. YubiKeys range from $27-$70 depending on the functionality and form factor that is desired, but for a majority of individual users, the $27 version is more than enough.

The YubiKey 5C NFC is our newest release and available for $55. Due to it's near-field communication (NFC) and USB-C support, it's truly the best security key for a modern user. It is great for both individual and enterprise users because it has multi-protocol support, meaning it's compatible with more consumer friendly open authentication standards, like WebAuth and FIDO2, and also enterprise protocols, like smart card.

The Security Key NFC, available in USB-A, is available for $27 – this key only has the FIDO standards, making it really great for individuals who don't need the extra protocol support, while also being a bit more budget friendly.
