  • Wireless, weatherproof,
  • Expensive, relatively poor video quality and real time viewing, requires buying/replacing batteries
  • The Arlo is a relatively expensive outdoor camera that did not wow us in any of our tests. If you like the idea of a wireless outdoor camera, we would suggest looking at the Canary Flex...

  • Night vision, the ability to add on cameras in case you need more
  • the Camera to app lag is significant at 2.7 seconds lag, and the battery while outdoors issue could be problematic over the course of time

  • Ultimately, Arlo Cameras are well built, easy to manage, and allow both insurance companies and property owners to save money. Though both parties benefit from the installation of security cameras, it should be noted that not all insurance policies will o...

  • The Netgear Arlo two camera security system retails for $300 (Amazon) at the time of this review. The base system with a single camera can be had for about $170 and each camera adds about $130 to the system. A single base station can support up to five ca...

  • Abstract:  NETGEAR's recent entry into the home security space is designed to make it easy to monitor and record your home or office remotely. Unlike other systems on the market, the Arlo is truly wireless. Other than connecting the base station to an outlet and you...

  • Abstract:  Next I go to the app's library, where Arlo stores short clips of captured video. The most recent one has an 11am timestamp. I watch as my husband's feet walk into the bathroom and stand there for a minute. He pivots and places a bowl of dog food on the fl...

  • Wireless, palm-sized cameras, Good image quality, Weatherproof, Easy installation, Cloud support out of the box, along with free cloud storage, Dedicated base station that doesn't mess with your existing WiFi network configuration, Easy to upgrade, You ca
  • Not compatible (for the moment) with popular NAS models, No audio, Application should be easier to use, The provided power brick for the base isn't a universal voltage one, Netgear should use rechargeable batteries instead (and, why not, provide a charger
  • The VMS3230 Arlo Surveilance kit with two cameras retails for $350. The basic kit (VMS3130) with one camera costs $200, the kit with three cameras (VMS3330) costs $450, and the most expensive (VMS3430) kit with four cameras will set you back $500. Wireles...

  • Easy to install, Portable (great for renters), Reliability, Weatherproof, Approachable
  • Limited to base station's wireless range, Base station can't connect to home network wirelessly, No Internet, no Arlo, No API, No HA integration
  • When I first learned of Arlo's existence, the weatherproof (IPX5) 720p wireless cameras and flexible installation were killer features, but I have to admit that I was a bit put off by the price of the hardware ($350-$500). Arlo certainly isn't cheap, but...
