Went from Ring to this, and wow what a game changer...if you're having 2nd thoughts about it, pull the trigger. It's like a professional security system for DIY homeowners. I'm ocd about my installs so everything is hidden and snaked, clipped and zipped along beams, etc so no wires are visible anywhere and cameras are secure. The only change I made was running pure copper shielded cat 6 instead of the cat 5 that came with the cameras, because of data speed and transmission time delays. Loving everything so far, but I need to space out my notifications because I've noticed I can't snooze from my phone. Anyhow, worth the price of admission for home security, no subscription, and amazing clarity and peace of mind. Will probably add a few more just because, why not?
