Need advice in purchasing a camera

Ceesa2 — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 17:52:31 GMT

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a Pro 2 system. I will need 4 outdoor cameras and 2 indoor (Pro 2 or Q?) I am also getting the video doorbell. I am hoping you can help me with the following questions.

-Does the doorbell count as a camera?

-Recommendations for indoor: Pro 2 or Q?

-I realize that the plans are for up to 5 cameras, what will I be paying for the Premier Plan with the above set up?

Thank you!

Yes.

I don't own the Q, so I have no personal experience. Some factors to consider:

The Q connects to your home wifi or home ethernet; the Pro-2 connects to your base.
The Q needs a power connection, the Pro 2 can run on battery.
The Q uses pixel-based motion detection, the Pro 2 uses PIR detection. One consequence is that the Q can detect motion through glass.

If you only get a subscription for the doorbell, you'd pay $2.99/month in the US. If you get a subscription for all 6 cameras, you'd pay about $11.50/month.
