Limited possibilities of integration with existing smart home systems

Cameras are entirely wire-free (no power or ethernet cables), Highly customizable motion detection, Can be deployed indoors or outdoors (IP65 rating)
Hard to see detail backround in night vision mode, Setting up a separate hub might be a turn off, Magnetic mount leaves cameras susceptible to theft
The Arlo Pro is a definite improvement over the original Arlo HD. Its ability to function equally well indoors or outdoors is fairly unique, and the app's motion detection controls are some of the best we've seen. The idea of setting up a separate base st...

Can access from only one device at a time per account, No continuous-recording option, Limited sharing

Completely wireless No power cable, so you can put Arlo anywhere around the house, Weatherresistant Works outdoors and at temperatures as low as 4F. It passes the Minnesota winter test, Local storage USB ports on the hub for as much local video backup as
