I don’t have an indoor camera, so I can’t speak to how well this works with that type of setup, although it is supposed to be compatible. The mount that comes with the camera is not very good. I just set the camera on a shelf and it has stayed there for over a month so far. It’s also supposed to be compatible with Ring Chime, although I haven’t tried this yet. This camera is awesome! I love being able to look in on my little ones as they sleep. I have also set it up a couple of times to view people entering my home when I am not there. It is very easy for me to check on things from work and be so thankful that I have this service!
