Not a huge difference, but still a significant difference. Response time should still be quicker in home vs from another house - after all, the neighbor might be multiple flights of stairs away on top of needing to go through the yard, unlock the door, etc. The monitor doesn't provide early detection of other dangers like if you're in the building, such as smoke detectors going off in other rooms of the house - you should hear it, but a baby monitor is not likely to pick it up.
