It records 2K with HDR on dual-band Wi-Fi, identifies people, animals and vehicles on device without a subscription, keeps recent events free and buffers an hour internally if the internet drops, includes a siren and integrates with Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 is much cheaper and carries a 2-year warranty against 1 year, offering motorised pan and tilt coverage with free 24/7 microSD recording and customizable motion zones, but it records 1080p, has no siren or RTSP, lacks Home Assistant support and puts person alerts behind a subscription. Buy the Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) for the sharper picture and free intelligence, and the TP-Link Kasa EC70 for cheap pan-and-tilt coverage.
