  • Leading to disjunct video clips that didn't seem

The editors didn't like

  • Add-ons
  • Such as more batteries

  • Setting up a separate hub might be a turn off
  • Magnetic mount leaves cameras susceptible to theft
  • Pricey
  • Requires a hub (included)
  • Can access from only one device at a time per account
  • No continuous-recording option
  • Limited sharing
  • Expensive

  • Netgear's $250/£300 Arlo Pro provides indoor and outdoor security monitoring in a single camera. You get seven days of free event-based cloud storage, and its rechargeable battery is supposed to last for up to six months

  • The Arlo Pro is an even smarter DIY cam than Netgear's first-gen Arlo, but competitors are closing in fast with innovative designs and updated apps...
