yeah, I would have a hard time getting used to that.

I am amazed -- now that I have that "capability" -- at how often it
comes in handy!

E.g., all of the RG6Q CATV drops for the house all terminate above
the ceiling by the front door. There's no easy way to access them
AND *see* them at the same time.

But, I can slip the camera into that space, put the glasses on and
then "watch" what I'm doing without having to actually see past
my arms (through the access panel).

The camera's autofocus capability makes it tolerant of positioning
"errors".

I've added a bit of lighting to my house but it seems there is never enough, so
always keep some small. bright flashlights everywhere

Yeah, when HF used to have the freebie giveaways, I'd make a point of
collecting the little 3AAA LED lights to scatter around the house
for "close in" work. A shame they are AAA instead of AA!

(And, had the battery compartment been a bit LONGER, I could have slipped
an 18650 lithium cell in there in place of the alkalines!)

assortment of AT devices that I've examined and evaluated over the
years...]
