    I have to say that I was little bit skeptical at first but I have to admit that I 100% satisfied with my decision to pick this brand. At first we were torn between the RING system and the Arlo system but in the end I read many reviews and did my homework before I made the decision to pick the Arlo system. Great quality, ease of use with the app and great quality video.

    I have to say this is one of the best cameras I’ve owned for the money indoor or outdoor. It works flawlessly, you get a free trial of ARLO service( not mandatory) extremely easy to set up (2.4Ghz network only for the noobs) , arm/disarm all cameras with the click of a button in the app 2way speaker and the best post is it has a privacy shutter!!
