Weaknesses

The Average Performance rating comes from a balance of metrics; for instance, the Storage Capacity of 25 GB suggests you should have enough local "insurance" to review a few days of activity if your internet connection happens to drop, yet with the 2 MP Resolution you should find the 1080p image sufficient for identifying who is at the door, though digital zooming will quickly lead to pixelation.
