    Good Camera and Clarity. The only application that is not convenient is you have to log in Arlo again to open the shutter on this taple top scanner.

    This little guy physically closes which is a huge help when having cameras makes a guest uncomfortable. But no support for my base station is just ridiculous. Why cant you make your product work with another at launch?

    Good price. The neck to adjust is a little tight but it can be moved up/down. The 2-way sound/audio is really good. Happy with the purchase. Reason for purchase: check on pets while away.
