This little guy physically closes which is a huge help when having cameras makes a guest uncomfortable. But no support for my base station is just ridiculous. Why cant you make your product work with another at launch?

Good price. The neck to adjust is a little tight but it can be moved up/down. The 2-way sound/audio is really good. Happy with the purchase. Reason for purchase: check on pets while away.
