    I wanted to upgrade my original Arlo cameras and I am so happy I did. First of all, the response time is so much faster. Second, the video is so much clearer. Third, I eliminated the "hub" and everything is directly connected to my wifi.

    Relatively inexpensive. Battery life seems okay so far. Camera sure misses a lot though and the short clips ( while action is taking place) are very annoying. Sometimes won't record vehicle or person at edge of my driveway but will record traffic on street an extra 100-200 yards away !? The "zones" are pretty much useless. It somewhat filled a temporary need but thats about it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The cameras are really helpful. The only thing that annoyed us was the fact that all photos show cameras can turn and be set installed on the wall but they actually do not.
