Alexa in tow, Nucleus Anywhere Intercom helps you keep in touch

The $250 Nucleus Anywhere Intercom allows you to check on your family, wherever they are.

You can use the Nucleus for voice or video chats from device to device and from the device to your phone.

The Nucleus even works with Amazon's digital assistant Alexa.

Say the word, or words, and you can command the Nucleus -- via Alexa -- to make a call, set a timer or control your smart home.

You can set the Nucleus on this kickstand, or mount it on your wall.

Make a call, and you don't even have to wait for the other person to pick up to check on a room or make an announcement.

You do have privacy options if you don't want family members spying on you.

You can even slide a physical shutter over the camera lens.

Not only does the Nucleus work with Alexa, if you also have a Ring Video Doorbell you can use the Nucleus to see who's at the door.

Send an invite out, and you can connect your Nucleus to your friends' devices as well.
