I thought the handheld to pc function worked okay. I called my dad with it. He installed the desktop app to his dell laptop with the built in camera. Used it to show him all the projects I have going on around the house. Even went out in the yard to see how well it worked in the sun. I couldn't see the screen, but he said the video looked pretty good. Not too bad for a video call from a handheld in the middle of nowhere Alaska to just north of Dayton Ohio.
