  • Two way audio needs improvement
  • Recording requires additional subscription
  • Some motions alerts were iffy
  • No ability to define regions for detection
  • Monthly $10 fee to record video You can see the video from the DropCam (Top) does a better job of showing detail – notice the side of the chair that is blown out in a competing camera. You can still see Chewie fairly clearly in his crate
  • But you can see the bright shelf corner even better. DropCam’s DVR featu
