It is easy and reliable.(A usb webcam requires a computer, which complicates things.) You don't need this camera, but it can be useful if you get creative.

I don't leave it on all the time, but I use it occasionally on a whim:

1. Started a 3d print, then went out to dinner, checking on the progress from my phone. Not required, but I was curious.

2. Put it in the corner of the game room and recorded an epic foosball match. I then grabbed the footage using the online timeline view and uploaded the clip to YouTube. Frivolous, but fun.

3. Checked in on my cats during my vacation. I know...

4. Timelapse of moving into a new office.

my understanding was that it _was_ USB. I'm guessing that it's actually usb-esq power and wifi?
