Happy Thanksgiving!

Got one a few weeks back after trying a couple of other systems. Very pleased with it.

Tried Arlo (twice) but too much delay between the alarm and the start of recording.

Blink was bought by Amazon, BTW. I think Ring is also now owned by Amazon.

How close?
Thanks

Did you get the outdoor version?
I assume it will work indoors for one of the camera also?

The hub is ~40 ft (and 4 walls) away from the furthest cam and keeps a decent connection.

No difference between how indoor and outdoor cams operate, it’s just that one is white and the other black.

I got them because of reports of 3 mountain lions in the neighborhood, and have recorded foxes, bobcats, and raccoons roaming around the house after dark.
