I did because I want to be able to use my camera with my Amazon Alexa devices.
Even that and getting your camera connected are pretty straightforward.
It took me longer to get the camera angle where I wanted it than anything other step.

You pull up the camera from the app on your phone.
In the app, you could arm the system.
There are also tweaks to manually turn the lights on and off and to control the microphone.
That makes it super convenient for me.
Overall, the picture quality of the camera is about what you would expect from a 1080p wireless camera.
My biggest complaint is that the light isn’t as bright as I would like it to be.
Is it Worth It or Not?
So, in my opinion, yes, it’s worth it.
Just don’t expect the glare of the spotlights to wake up the neighbors if someone comes snooping around.
