    The audio quality is excellent, much better than my Arlo Pro 2 camera was. Everything works well. It works with the base station so local recordings can be made. But if you have no base you can’t record locally. The picture is good. And the response is excellent. Unfortunately some of the features go away unless you pay after the trial period.

    It only includes a three-month subscription plan, and after three months, you have to pay a subscription of 24.99 per month to view the record video, but these are not found in the description, or it is displayed in some hidden places.
