I’m glad I bought it. I like the door to close the cam if I need it closed. I know I can turn it off in the system but it comes in handy so I don’t have to forget to turn the recording back on. I like being able to watch my dogs if I am away from my place or talk through it to them. It does throw them off but they are getting used to it. I feel safer with this so when I’m out of town it’s nice to check my place. I may sound paranoid but things have led to me getting this.
