The screen opens and closes for shooting, so if someone wants to film themselves, they can see how the filming is going. - It connects to the phone like a surveillance camera, but it is not considered or classified as a surveillance camera. - Shoots video and photos. - It has zoom. - It has filters (screen colors). - It comes with its charging cable (but without the plug). - And to be honest, sometimes when I want to access photos or videos, it freezes, but it doesn't take long and returns to normal quickly. And when you first turn it on, you have to wait a minute or less to shoot without it freezing.
