| 10 | 1 | WIMPy | The terminal comes in a rather high spec'd case that would have been water tight until the unit had been screwed into it from the bottom. |

| 15 | 2 | WIMPy | The terminal looks like it would be more at home in a small conference room setting. |
| 16 | On to is a simple PAL LCD monitor attached via a hinge so it can be tilted individually. |
||
| 17 | 3 | WIMPy | The only speaker is in the monitor and has a rather low volume. |

| 22 | Originally it comes without camera. I added a cheap chinese FPV camera. The supplied mounting bracket was taped on top of the monitor, which works very nicely. |
||
| 23 | The monitor runs on 12V DC, as does the main electronics. My unit came without a PSU. |
||
| 24 | There is no built in microphone, either. |
||
| 25 | Apart from the audio section including an LED VU meter, the user interface consists of an IR remote and on screen menus. |
