    Works pretty well though I have issues keeping Bluetooth connected. I need to reconnect Bluetooth every couple of days, which becomes annoying.

    Over a short period of time connectivity to be able to see the camera stoped working. It’s a real shame since I use all Google products as baby camera for my kids rooms. All my Google displays end up having the same issue. SHAME.

    Every single time this thing updates it takes features away. Google is going to get rid of it at this rate soon. I would not recommend today, I would have a few years ago. Ideally they start to revert some of these changes and I can change my review.
