    The camera works well. I just wish the battery wouldn't drain as fast. It really only holds its charge for a couple weeks, not 6 months.

    Safety at a cost

    I have several Arlo Pro 2 cameras and love them. This new version I am not so happy with. First of all, the charging cord is extremely short (+/-5in); there is no way you can charge the battery without having to take the camera(s) down or purchasing a separate charger. The other thing is the video footage is saved for a fee which Arlo has made it standard on all of its cameras made after the Pro2. Now, it’s up to you if you find it helpful by all means go ahead and purchase it. In my case, I was not happy. I returned it.
