Strong magnetic mounts for waterproof cameras; Web interface offers high levels of control; Free cloud recordings for up to 7 days; Built-in siren

The Arlo Pro 2 is an expensive piece of kit, but it's hard to think of any missteps it makes along the way. The footage it captures is excellent, the motion and audio detection works well and it's pleasingly flexible.

Battery powered; Sharp; 1080p footage; Seven days free clip storage

Expensive

The wireless cameras linked quickly and were very easy to install due to the magnetic way they connect to their mounts. 7 Day recording via Arlo cloud is free for up to 5 cameras and helps keep track of the recordings made. Very pleased overall with the performance, battery life and ease of use.

I cannot fault this product. Being wireless it is easy for us to move the camera whenever wherever, and the video quality is superb. Now I can monitor our house remotely :)

If you want multiple security cameras in and our of the home then the Arlo Pro 2 system is seriously good quality in all ways.

Not as accurate as some; Competitors offer more features

I use the term ‘successful' because NETGEAR is a master marketer. They have smick marketing material, lovely point-of-sale, copious positive blogs, and multiple nice websites. You buy because of the brand recognition – not because it is superior to other offerings.

No compelling reason to buy it over other brands; except perhaps the brand

A great performer when used indoors with a subscription, but overly pricey for that scenario

Wireless; weatherproof; good video quality; intuitive app
