Update:
I installed the Cloud Key Gen 2+ and 4 cameras last weekend.
I went with 2 G5 Domes and 2 G5 Pro Bullet cams.
My old system was not POE, so each end of the Cat5e was broken apart for data/power. I put new ends on each wire, took down the old cameras and installed the new ones.
It took about an hour or so for the Cloud Key to run updates and get online, but once it came up all cameras were detected and I was up and running.
It was a great upgrade, and the app is very easy to use. Camera quality is miles better than the LTS system I was using previously

The app really is great, I don't know why other companies can't put out anything close. The only real complaint I have about the app is a detail about notifications. Notifications on the whole are excellent, but I really need to configure settings on a per detection zone basis rather than per camera. For example, I want to draw a zone to detect vehicles in my driveway, and another zone to detect vehicles passing on the road, but I only want notifications for the ones in my driveway. I can't do that. I can only turn on notifications about motion, people, and/or vehicles per camera. Right now I get around that by having a regular motion zone on the road, but I would really like it to classify as vehicles so they appear as such on the detections page.
Something to note about the app, by default live and recorded video play at an adaptive bitrate for performance and data consumption reasons. You can force high quality viewing if you need it, but it's kind of a pain to switch it on then back to automatic/adaptive again. Downloaded clips will be high quality though (except for timelapse clips).
