I did get the drop cam as an extra camera indoors. I don't have it paired with my current system (Swann 3MP), which wasn't my intention. I have motion detectors inside my home which alert me on my mobile phone. I basically use the dropcam as eyes inside my house when the motion detectors go off. I might need to increase my internet speed because the drop cam drops signal quite a bit. That might be why they call it "dropcam." But the HD video is superb and I don't subscribe to the back service they offer.
