Good price, but there were better deals to be had around black friday. I just installed this system (with 6 total cams) to replace an aging Arlo gen 1 system that Netgear was going to convert to subscription required despite being advertised and sold as never having fees (never again buying Netgear products).Some tips for setup and coverage since it seemed like this used some special wireless connection, but the homebase just puts out a 2.4Ghz wifi signal.1 - the homebase can operate wirelessly to your existing router/wifi. May just need to hard cable initially to update the firmware to latest. This will allow you to place the homebase in a better spot for coverage.2 - Use the unifi design center (design.ui.com) -free- to map out both wifi connection and camera coverage.2a - for wifi, a AC Long-Range is the homebase dupeand any yellow coverage zone on 2.4Ghz (-75dBm) should be good for camera connection. Draw walls as needed to help refine. This matched my physical testing at 2 locations before installing.2b- for cameras, I used G4 Pro as the dupe to get a quick map of coverage and options.3 - Connect (sync) the cameras prior to installing since they must be close to homebase. I labeled post-it notes (cam03, porch) and stuck on each camera, then went outside with all cams in a box and mounted them.I did have an issue with 2.4ghz channel interference from a repeater, but didn't need the repeater anymore, so I just turned off, but I didn't see any easy options to change the homebase channels. Keep this in mind if you have a crowded wifi space around you.Been working great for a week so far with no issues and solar charging has been going well even in grey winter days with minimal sun.

Replacing my Arlo camera's after they now want to raise their price to $220 a year for multiple cameras. BYE. Rebuilding with Eufy 4k now.
