Love this system, but it is not for CONSTANT STREAMING, 2 May 2015

WARNING - this is a great camera system, really clear both day and night. The night vision is fantastic. BUT it is not suitable for constant streaming i.e. if you want to sit and watch it over a long period of time. The batteries would go done very quickly doing this. In fact, streaming turns off (and has to be restarted) after 30 minutes. So, if you want to use it as a baby monitor, be aware of this. And remember there is NO SOUND on this system. Note that although the stream is 'off' most of the time, the motion sensing and recording on detection is still ON, unless you turn it OFF, which you can do in the settings.

What it is meant for is to 'check in' periodically for a few minutes at a time. Or to turn on after a motion alert to check what caused it. Motion alerts are sent to your designated e-mail, and this system records automatically for the time you set after it detects motion. It stores these little videos in the cloud, and you can check them to see what triggered...

*** UPDATE 2nd November 2015 ***

In my initial review of this product I gave it one star because there were so many problems with the cloud service. Fortunately, Netgear have fixed the major issues.

First off, a warning to BT Internet users. If you have a BT Home Hub 3, Arlo will not work with it. If you have a BT Home Hub 4 or BT Home Hub 5, it will work with Arlo, but you may need to make some configuration changes to your BT Hub.

My views on Arlo:

It is easy to set up, and if you have any problems, there is a tech support number you can call. Just be aware the number is 0844 so it is chargeable!

The wireless range is very good. I can place a camera 200ft down my garden and the camera still works fine. Netgear claim it has a range of 300ft, but in my experience 200ft is the limit.

The cameras are really...

Sleek and Stylish, 21 July 2015

So I've owned this camera after owning 2 previous Security Cameras. The first was the 'Samsung Webcam' which had picture upload to Google Photos. This Camera was Brilliant and did everything I needed to but due to googles terms and conditions it stopped uploading pictures to Google photos which in some aspects meant the camera was redundant. The second was the 'ucam 247' which is advertised as free cloud storage. However this is misleading since you get a 30 free trial with 'Cammy' (which is a very very good app) however the picture on the Ucam via the app was not very clear (even though it was supposed to be 1080p) and the Ucam app was horrible to use.

Now the main thing for me when purchasing a home security camera is the auto upload of pictures or videos to some form of cloud storage, whats the point of being able to take pictures or videos onto a SD card if the burgular decides to steal that !!!!!

In my opinion it makes it uselss, also while you can...
