Pros: Snapshot capture, Notifications
Cons: Pre-roll buffer, Law enforcement policy transparency
Physical security is solid in pull tests, but there are concerns about a plastic mounting bracket on some kits and about losing footage if an on-device-storage unit is stolen.

Cons: Light adjustability, Wi-Fi range & stability
Tamper resistance is limited but present through included mounting hardware and a secure hex key.
Pros: Complete kit in box, Design aesthetics
