Grandparent-friendly setup takes all of 10 minutes. Unlimited free video calls via Skype. Calls look good overall and sound a million times better than on a laptop. SD and USB ports for plug-and-play photo sharing

Really easy to setup! Works right out of the box. Picture and audio very clear

Yes it is expensive but for people who are not technologically astute, this product fits the bill. I got it for my parents ; Remote has limited functionality but it does the job
