POSITIVES 1. Easy to install since it's wireless 2. Picture quality is superior to 6 year old wired system 3. Worth the money 4. You could minimize the number of static vs motion tracking cameras by strategic placement of 1 motion tracking as opposed to 2 or 3 static cameras...so plan your placement. NEGATIVES 1. PITA attempting to hook up through Apple Home ... not compatible from what I can figure out OVERALL A local installer quoted CDN $8000 to install a similar system with cameras and alarm. I've done it for less than CDN $1500.
