LiDAR uses lasers to map your home and works in any light condition, while camera-based systems (vSLAM) rely on visible light and photos. LiDAR is more reliable overall, but camera systems are cheaper and work fine in bright, simple homes.Is LiDAR worth paying extra for?

It depends on your home. If you have a large house, complex layout, multiple rooms, or want precise room-by-room control, LiDAR is worth the investment. For small, open-plan apartments with simple layouts, a cheaper camera-based model may be fine.
