After a recent break and enter at our property decided to look into security options,spoke to sales staff and did my own research finally deciding on the Arlo 2 wire free. I am a 69 year old pensioner with moderate technical expertise but had the whole system installed,positioned and functioning...

The Arlo Pro 2 is an expensive piece of kit, but it's hard to think of any missteps it makes along the way. The footage it captures is excellent, the motion and audio detection works well and it's pleasingly flexible.

Battery powered; Sharp; 1080p footage; Seven days free clip storage

Expensive

The wireless cameras linked quickly and were very easy to install due to the magnetic way they connect to their mounts. 7 Day recording via Arlo cloud is free for up to 5 cameras and helps keep track of the recordings made. Very pleased overall with the performance, battery life and ease of use.

I cannot fault this product. Being wireless it is easy for us to move the camera whenever wherever, and the video quality is superb. Now I can monitor our house remotely :)

If you want multiple security cameras in and our of the home then the Arlo Pro 2 system is seriously good quality in all ways.

Considering the Arlo Pro 2? Read our review first...

Superb video quality; night and day; Wireless; Waterproof; Built-in siren; 7 days cloud storage for free

Not as accurate as some; Competitors offer more features

Weatherproof; Speakerphone; Good battery life and can act as phone battery backup

Narrow field of sound; Weak treble tones

I use the term ‘successful' because NETGEAR is a master marketer. They have smick marketing material, lovely point-of-sale, copious positive blogs, and multiple nice websites. You buy because of the brand recognition – not because it is superior to other offerings.

• 1080p video and 720p stills are reasonable quality when you can achieve it

No compelling reason to buy it over other brands; except perhaps the brand

A great performer when used indoors with a subscription, but overly pricey for that scenario

Wireless; weatherproof; good video quality; intuitive app

Many features not available when used wirelessly; expensive; Many features not available when used wirelessly; expensive

I own 12 of these for as part of a complete home protection system and four of the Arlo lights. They are great cameras in terms of picture quality, but trust me when I say that with any normal use on even 50% sensitivity for motion and voice recording, your battery may last AT BEST, 2 to 3 WEEKS.
