For those worried about privacy, the top of the display features a dedicated camera shutter button. Simply flip the button to for peace of mind when the camera isn't in use. Personally, my camera gets the best use when I'm traveling, because it allows me to check on my home and my pets with Amazon Guard Plus.

It was designed with recycled plastics, aluminum, and fabric to keep it eco-friendly, and it's very easy to set up. Just plug it in, connect it to the internet, sign into your Amazon account, and you are ready to go.
