I live on a farm and run 2 doorbell, 2 regular outdoor cam battery, 1 outdoor cam with the pt control and the outdoor cam plus. With all their sensitivity set on max the pt cam and regular ones can pick up a cat or rabbit at 35 to 40 ft easy. Facing the road and my driveway, it will pick up basically all cars that go by or neighbors riding by on a horse. Distance is probably 75 yards. Ring video doorbell 2 is the newer hardwired one with the birds eye view, which i think is worthless it limits the camera from pick up beyond 30 ft.
The outdoor cam plus is much better quality than the others, but I think the range it will pickup a human or vehicle is less than the older ones.
If your in town it may not matter if you can pick up a vehicle at 75 yards, but out in the country, it sure is nice.
I have a 2nd GEN in that bronze sorta colour. I do like the video doorbell however the bronze colour with the elements has gone to shit for lack of a batter word. I've been looking at replacing my ring with either a TAPO or Eufy. I want something that I don't need to pay a subscription for just to view past footage.
Sounds ridiculous but how well do your solar cameras work? You know, We live in Ireland after all lol. Looking to ditch ring this year and Eufy is my next purchase.
