Users can control cameras' pan, tilt and zoom functions directly right from the phone. A number of highly functional screen options are also available for the KX-NT400 including:

o Company Portal Screen for accessing delivery schedules, order-tracking software and other critical applications while simultaneously speaking with a customer
