    Because they’re wireless and the light flashes every time someone walks in front of it you have to charge the camera like every three days.

    Easiest set-up. Great quality. Picks up the slightest of movement. Adjusting the sensitivity of the motion detection is key for battery life. But other than that. Great product.

    Excellent picture quality both daytime and night time. Down side is battery is not removable so to charge it you must take it down. Also in order to view the video you have to sign up for Arlo' service.

    Easy to setup if you have 2.4ghz wireless. Camera has good resolution and in color. I didn't go with their plan to upload to the cloud. I can use their app and see what is going on and caught my dogs doing bad things =)
