WHY $295 for a keyboard?


To clarify, the USB keyboard doesn't cost $295; it's the 'internal board' we install into the Controller/Monitor Unit, the keyboard, and the labor that add up to$295. 

We provide a small keyboard that will fit inside the case but if it's too dainty for you, any USB keyboard should work.  Some keyboards won't allow you to use the Clear function, but you can still use the backspace button.


With the keyboard, you can enter the customer's name, address, and enter specifics about the defect like "cracked tile". It provides a more professional approach when viewing images and videos with customers.
