Installed these in my home and want to install in my vacation home  Is there a way to sync 2 different locations together or do I need to set up an entire new account on my computer and phone.?

It Depends. (TM)

 

If the total number of cameras is 5 or less, you can set everything up on one account.  If greater than 5, a new account will be needed to use the free plan.  If so, the remote site can be set up using a second email address (new account) and then can be shared using Settings, Grant Access to the first account's email address.  Make sure you select the cameras to be shared as well as whether admin rights are to be granted. When the invitation email's directions are completed, all cameras will show up in the one account.

 

Note that the guest account, even with admin rights, isn't quite the same thing as logging in using the master account but will be fine for most cases.

Normally the second base isn't a problem, they both end up in the same program ( limit is cameras, as J mentioned )

 

You will have 2 systems that run separately ( each has its own cameras , arming ,schedules, etc ) but appear together in the same program.
