My impression is that the basic advantage of the WCO over a Blink XT2 is that you can also use the WCO as a GoPro or WiFi capable game camera. ( once you wrap it in camo tape of course 
)
You can take it off grid to do scheduled recordings and time lapses, etc and view/control it from your phone.
So it’s sort of three different cameras for less than the price of one of the competition.
Not quite as good at any one function, but if you wanted to buy only one cam, or had limited funds, you could do more different things with it.
Agreed. For anyone doing long term remote security work, this is not the cam to get.
It seems more for the nature enthusiast who wants to move it around and film different things.
