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.

Work great! Disappointed they don't work through a window because of glare. Was afraid to put them outside due our severe winters. But so far impressed how well they are working.
We were big fans of the original Arlo Pro. There were really only a couple things that we thought could be improved and the Arlo Pro 2 does just that. In our opinion, the Arlo Pro 2 is the best wireless security camera system you can get. Here's what to expect:
Wireless cameras that can be used indoors or outdoors; Crisp 1080p video quality; 7 days of video storage for free; Built-in siren to deter potential burglars; Long battery life
Expensive; Geofencing is not perfect; Two-way audio is average at best; Activity Zones and Look Back features only available if plugged-in
NETGEAR has added great new features to its Arlo Wireless Cameras while still keeping them simple to use and install in just about any location.

Nighttime video At night, the Arlo Pro 2 video is darker than I'd like; It can be hard to make out details more than a few feet away from the camera, Slow to wake up It takes 7-8 seconds for the camera to wake up and begin streaming live when operating on battery power, Clunky app The Arlo app...
It's really no surprise that NETGEAR has such a huge share of the security camera market (nearly 50%), given how good the Arlo Pro 2 is, in a number of areas. The Arlo Pro 2 excels in setup, video quality and even the software it is using.
