What it is.

You can use the device to switch on the kettle, watch the camera at the front door, call a voice assistant, or turn on cartoons for your child. The main feature is the camera on a movable gimbal. It swivels and tilts, so it can observe the room or work as a CCTV camera with a wide viewing angle. There is an infrared light for night, so this thing can be used as a full-fledged video surveillance system.
