I recently told you about two accessories the Arlo Doorbell and Arlo Chime that work via an ArloBaseStation and that comes with the HD wireless camera that is what I looking at in this review as well as the all-important BaseStation
The Netgear Arlo Pro 2 is being marketed as the next level 1080p HD security camera with total flexibility. Judging by the features alone, it certainly raises the bar for security cameras.
Sharper detail means better monitoring and tracking, so the Arlo Pro 2 features 1080p HD quality video for you to record and watch. With 2-Way audio, you can also listen in and talk back through the camera from your smartphone.
The Pro 2 boasts sound and advanced motion detection, with instant notifications sent to your smartphone or email. It's possible to highlight areas in your camera’s view where you want to receive motion and sound alerts. This is available when the camera is plugged in and used indoors.
Something else you can use when the camera is plugged in and used indoors is the 3-second Look Back feature. It captures activity 3 seconds before a triggered event so you’ll always know what happened, from start to finish.
Netgear's Arlo Pro 2 is IP65-certified to withstand rain, heat or cold. Meanwhile, Night Vision turns on automatically in low light so you can see clearly in the dark.
The camera can be powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery for a wire-free option. Or, when indoors, plug it in to a power outlet to access advanced features.
You can keep a rolling 7 days of motion and sound-triggered recordings in the cloud for free, or hook up a USB drive to the Arlo Pro 2 base station for optional local backup storage.

While Arlo Pro 2 isn't revolutionary, it does upgrade perhaps the best wire-free security camera solution to 1080p, making some already good, even better.
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.
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...
Super easy to set up. I have one in a flower pot outside my front door, the 2nd one in my living room on a book shelf. I am notified of any movement OR sound when I'm not home. I brag on these to all my friends.
Just fitted this system for a Friend, it was so easy. And awaiting my purchase of the same item.
Very disappointing. I returned the Arlo Pro 2. Here are some of the system negatives. Netgear Arlo tech support - essentially nonexistent. Spent 3 hours waiting (mostly) and talking with support over 2 days. Resulting in zero answers. Expect to be lied to about follow up. DON'T ask for a supervisor.
It is a very good camera and is a tad bit better than the original Pro but it isn't a huge difference. Nonetheless it is an improvement and I do recommend this system. Very good app too.
Mobile app failed to "discover" the base station so never got as far as connecting the cameras. After an hour of trying gave up and returned for a refund.
This is not a 24/7 recording system . You can live view after the motion is triggered but thats what you want . Very easy to set up and install once you down load the app . This only works on Android an apple tabs and phones . Not on your TV !!! Like the systems of old .
