Best answer
My understanding being a new buyer and after talking to their customer sales last week it is mainly the key pad having dedicated buttons for police and fire and EMS. And the window /door sensors are a bit smaller. But personally, my main interest was in the cams and they did not change

If you mean the doorbell, the 2 has better quality picture and a removable battery. The 1 has to be taken off the wall and brought inside to charge, which takes two or three hours.

I believe there is some type of comparison chart on the website? With regards to Battery . both Model 1 and Model 2 can be wired to house doorbell wiring, if the location has it. Our Model 1 is wired so we never have to remove to charge.

From what I can see online, it's just an updated keypad, motion sensor, and different shaped door/window sensors. I believe the base station is the same.
