I have one inside a screened patio facing the door so I can see if an intruder comes in but I have noticed that I can walk around outside the screened patio and it doesn't pick me up. So, you can sit these cameras inside a window or inside a screen and view "live" but it will not send you notifications and if it doesn't send you notifications, it means it did not record anything to the cloud. If you have footage in your library, that is what they consider the cloud. From a desktop computer I have been able to save my video clips and if I have taken a snap shot of something while watching live, I copy the image and drop it into a blank Word document and save that. I have found the camera records about 12 feet in front of it and that the areas along the perimeter of the screen that you can see, ie the street at the end of your driveway, it does not record the cars driving by. It gives a good amount of coverage within the middle section of what you see on screen. There is a delay in it recording, sometimes just a few seconds, sometimes up to 10 seconds, so I get the person up close rather than when they've pulled into my driveway. But I am happy with the cameras reliability for the most part. As far as your last question, I don't know about international access.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.1. Motion detection does not work through windows reliably. Arlo cameras use two different kinds of motion detection, and both types are inhibited by glass, especially windows. You can read more about it here: https://kb.arlo.com/63 2. Arlo Pro Wire-Free cameras can detect motion from up to 23 feet away. 3. Yes, you have the option to save videos. We recommend saving videos as after seven days, those videos will be deleted and cannot be retrieved back. 4. Yes, you can access it anywhere using the Arlo app on your iOS or Android device or through the web client on your computer at https://my.arlo.com.
