Don’t have a spot, but using a FireTV is like that too. Way too much spam. Way too much of Amazon trying to sell me something that should be included in Prime, but isn’t. I guess maybe they were having trouble selling the full size Show for $239, so the introduced a smaller version for $89.

Too bad the security camera footage can only be viewed on them if you pay for a monthly cloud fee. They don’t allow you to stream security camera footage directly over your WiFi. Their cameras are too expensive plus require the cloud subscription. I use Amcrest cameras that are cheaper and better, plus I can stream footage via my WiFi network which is behind my firewall and I don’t have to worry about who is watching it outside of my network. I can view my security streams on my phones, tablets, and computers. Other than that I really don’t see much benefit to having an Alexa device with a screen because it just doesn’t do much on the screen.
