Comms
Pair a phone to the hub once. After that it's automatic: the hub keeps the low-res grid, relays the rest, and knows who's home.
One button. A grown-up pairs it once.

Recording and the full stream stay on this phone; only the small preview leaves.

Pair each device once. The hub keeps the low-res grid and relays the rest.
Cameras
Who’s home
A browser cannot find a camera it was never handed, so an advertised camera waits in a short-lived index. Video still goes straight phone to phone; the index holds a pairing code for a minute and then forgets it. Anyone who can actually walk there does not have to be told a code, and anyone further out can be, by you.

Quality
Auto follows the network and the heat. Best pins the top quality. Smoothest pins the reliable one. The camera just obeys.
The grid appears once you're paired.
