Solid picks. I’d add that VOX sensitivity matters: set it so normal white noise doesn’t keep the screen on which saves a lot of battery. Also keep the camera a bit away from walls or crib bars so the IR LEDs don’t reflect and wash out night vision and and enable the out‑of‑range alert on the parent unit so you’ll know immediately if the signal drops downstairs.

I agree with telling them directly but make it collaborative and specific. Try: “Hey, I love that you’re composting - a heads-up that some days the smell drifts into our kitchen; could we try a tighter lid or adding more dry stuff like cardboard to keep it neutral and avoid flies? I can bring over some boxes or sync our drop-off times.” Do it in person and skip HOA mentions; sticking to “I notice” language and a simple fix keeps it friendly and out of the group chat.
