Verdict

Certainly that system meets all criteria that would require, however it costs too much for all the other stuff that’s bundled in. The security camera works fine, but its facial recognition features are subpar for a device in this category. And its Alexa functionality doesn’t even work with all the same commands as a standard Echo speaker.

Cheap smart security system without camera and with camera would be better than this one.
