Edit: Just found out the door sensor needs a hub to work and I don't have one, going to cancel the order.

Really regretted it and returning it now. I ran into some of the commonly reported issues with connectivity and other flakiness such as things not working when theg/.; b instructions say they should, and some things work at first and then stop working. A lot more latency with the cameras, one to three seconds without the S3, eight to 12 seconds with the S3. I tried running on WiFi and Ethernet, with and without MultiBridge, tried different locations. And then the next day one cam stop showing video thought showing Online status, and the continuous recording of the E42 video is no longer available thought it was the day before. There was no way to Restart any cameras after linking to the S3, some cameras have Restart available before linking. Worse is there is no way to unlink with the S3 besides doing a Remove, and then have to re-add the device, tough luck if the device is in a hard to reach location.
And don't get me started with the Homebase3. All my stuff was supposed to be compatible. To this day it still isn't. I have one solar cam of three that has just never wanted to connect to it no matter what we did. Upgrades, downgrades, full resets, etc. I was the fing testing ground for their "upgrade."
Now don't get me wrong. For what they are and what they cost I guess I'm ok with them. The porch steel lock drop box is great for all the packages I get. And my delivery people like it too.
The doorbell cam has been great and even Alexa announces "someone is at the door." And the multicolor light cameras on the garage are pretty cool looking too. Plus now with the merge video of motion between one camera and the next it keeps a full view of the sidewalk across the whole front of my home.
As they say, YMMV, buy I'm Ok with them for now. I just wish they had an rstp stream in them.
Note: I also put 3 at my mom's home in AZ just using the onboard memory. They've been perfect there. Bought them on clearance at Home Depot.
(Btw, I am a computer/network engineer, so I know what I'm doing and understand these inside and out.)
