Any suggestions for the best use of a second base station.  I went to purchase a 5th camera for my system and best buy sold me one that came with another base station.  They were confused about the price so ended up selling my the one camera kit for 189.00.  Anyway, I thought I might just stick the base on ebay but wondering if there is a good use for it before I just sell it.

The main reason for a second base is 1) expand your coverage area 2) have a second location

 

 

You can really onLy expand yor area with a second base.... Place one at each end of the home and sync the close cams to each... Use either Ethernet or a wifi extender with an Ethernet port to relocate the second base...

 

You can also have a second location ( up to your service level of cameras) , like a vacation home or elderly mom... There is no limit to number of bases on any service level.

Two base stations means two sets of log in, correct?  Or can I have two bases on the same account.

Number of bases is unlimited.  The limits are soley on the number of cameras in your account based on your plan.
