I bought it due to price. I had a Gen 1 that I really like. Gen 2, while works fine, is but a shell of the Gen 1. Does not stay in place due to light weight of product(plastic v metal), but it adequate for our use. Using at 2nd home, is able to be added to current phone app so both places can be viewed, but it's a bit obnoxious that one has to have a separate account(ie, pay more) to continue recordings. Setup process was a breeze. Again, operation is marginal due to quality/weight of item. Camera seems adequate. Would recommend to those knowing what they're really buying depending on their need. I'd rather have a Gen 1 at the same price.
