Streamline your creative process. Writing and drawing with Surface Pen feels natural, with precision ink on one end and a rubber eraser on the other. Sketch, shade, and paint with artistic precision—the 4,096 pressure points respond to the lightest touch. Tilt your Surface Pen to shade your sketches just like you would a graphite pencil, using the pen tip that feels right.²

Nice feel. Writes okay. Sometimes requires multiple taps to choose things. Not quite as good as your finger but more precise when that control is needed. Not the greatest for right clicking but that could be do to my lack of experience with a stylus.

Very nice camera. I use it outdoors and gives a nice picture and video. Wireless range is decent. It's roughly 100 feet from my indoor router. It has disconnected once in the 7 months of use. That was in bad weather. It requires a subscription to store video. I'd give it 5 stars if I could record the video myself.

Works well. It keeps the camera charged. It was buried in snow for a couple of weeks and resumed charging when the snow melted. Worth the investment!

It's okay as a dock for the Surface Pro 7. It would be better if it had HDMI ports so you wouldn't need conversion cables. For that price it should.

Camera and doorbell work well. Installation can be tricky if you don't know what you are doing. In that case have it installed.
I have a 24v transformer which was a little too much for this doorbell with my mechanical chime (even though it says 16-24v is okay.) The camera function causes the circuit to be always on which caused a hum and my chime to break.
I researched the issue and after replacing the chime I installed a resistor to lower the voltage getting to the chime and it has been working great.
Requires a subscription to store video.

Will the images record upside down if the camera is mounted under a deck or is there a way to correct the image?

It will record upside down. You cannot adjust the aspect in the software. You have to buy a special mount to hang under something.

The E series is obsolete. However, I found replacement heads at Best Buy Online and on ebay. There are third part replacement heads but they all seem to have poor reviews.

is this wireless?

because one of the pictures listed in the slides, shows an antennae, so you might want to remove that picture if it's not of the actual device which I doubt it is.
Not wireless.
