I needed a camera for my holiday home and looked carefully at reviews on the Internet. There were other brands, but I saw that people regretted buying these and wanted to go back to Arlo.
I ordered 2 cameras and they were installed within minutes. I have a camera aiming at my garden and one at the front. I can install the cameras outside if I want tot pick up every movement, but for now they are inside.
When inside, they do not detect movement, but I can watch any moment live. It makes me smile however, that when I moved around in the house, they do detect movement via the glass reflection.
They are small, give a good picture and are so easily moveable.
I had some curtains installed, but was home sick, but my husband was there with the camera so I could follow exactly what was going on. So this would make a perfect baby monitor as well. It also gives sound.
You can disarm the camera from hearing sounds or movement on your ipad, iphone etc.
You can change the view to 180 degrees should you want to.
I was afraid of the battery life, but it has been in the house for 3 months now and still registers over 80% battery life, so no worries there.
I know it is not cheap, but installing a security alarm will cost you £250 yearly on maintenance and about £500 on installation.
I feel safe, I like having a look at my garden once in a while whilst in the city, so all in all it is a very good buy for me.
