Netgear Arlo Pro night vision cam review: safety meets smart
Gone are the days when security camera installation was tricky like rocket science. With the rise of IOT devices, setting up CCTV cameras is now incredibly easy. Currently, the hottest product in this category is the Netgear Arlo Pro, which boasts of a pair of wireless cameras with night vision.
The camera units feature a minimal design. The base station, cameras, and even chargers are made of sturdy plastic. In fact, the wireless cameras are weatherproof and can withstand the rains. These cameras hold rechargeable batteries, so that you can install it outside the house too. Arlo Pro kit is sturdy and has a modern design.
The Arlo Pro is unbelievably easy to set up. Simply download the Arlo app on your smartphone, and it will guide you through the rest of the process. The current app- addicted generation will hardly take five minutes for the entire process. You can place the Arlo Pro on a table or any other surface. Netgear also bundles a neat wall mount that can hold a camera using powerful magnets. The base station can communicate with the cameras at the range of 300+ metres. The range may vary depending upon the walls and other obstacles.
The wireless cameras beam HD videos. You can access those in real time on your phone. You get a wide 130- Degree view. What’s missing here is the ability to rotate the camera. That would have been a killer add- on feature. The cameras are equipped with IR night vision technology enabling you to keep an out in the darkest hours. The built- in mic and speaker allows twoway communication. The base station is fitted with a powerful siren. It can be set off remotely using the app to scare off the intruder.
The Arlo Pro ( VMS4230) puts smart in the security cameras. It comes with night vision, remote controlled siren, two- way audio, and cloud backup service. However, much like its features, the security system is also high on the price. Another downer is that the wireless cameras lack remote rotation feature. All things considered though, if money is not an issue, the Arlo Pro ( VMS4230) is an ideal guardian for your house for ` 44,900.
