I upgraded my original ethernet Abode hub hidden away in the data closet to this latest stylish appliance. Its built in camera, sensors and WiFi support means you can place it in the best location in the house without an ethernet connection (after setting it up). The 24/7 video quality streaming quality is excellent with a non-distorted wide frame view and great night-time support. It supports ALL existing Abode sensors, with the added advantage that all of them are now available as devices or automation triggers in HomeKit (in addition to Abode’s native automation capabilities). Sensors run for 5 years or longer without needing to replace batteries. You can access the security functions and cameras directly within Apple’s Home app on mobile devices and Macs, including remotely, and control everything via Automations (including geofencing triggers), Siri, Shortcuts, and Widgets. Best available security platform for the HomeKit smart home. The only item missing from my wishlist — no support yet for HomeKit Secure Video, which means if you want secure cloud recording you will need to purchase a monitoring plan from Abode.
