The two-camera pack with four bases costs $350; a single-camera kit is $200, and additional cameras are $160 each. That’s pricey, but the free cloud storage is even better than ’s $5-a-month offer. Still, it doesn’t have that camera’s sound-detection...

Completely wireless, small form factor cameras. Easy to install. Good color and night vision video quality. Free cloud storage. Weatherproof.

No audio recording. Lacks dynamic pan, tilt, and zoom functions.

Conclusions If the lack of a conveniently located power source has kept you from installing surveillance cameras where they are needed most, the Netgear Arlo Security system VMS3230 is for you. These neat little Wi-Fi cameras run on batteries and can...

- The cameras are completely wireless - They connect to the base station via wifi (no cable) - They run on batteries so they don't need to plug into power (no cable) - They are waterproof so they can be used outside - They look good - The base station...

- The video camera is in standby mode about 99% of the time - It only wakes up when "motion" is detected - This "motion" is not the same as other systems where motion is detected in the video feed - This system has a separate "heat-based" motion...

The setup and install are super fast and easy. Picture quality is good (not really 720p. Night vision is actually superb. Good range from base station. Battery lift is terrific.

Nice Camera

Must enable DHCP on your router no way to set up your own static IP address range. My network does not use 192.168,1,1, I need to set it up for 192.220.222.45. I really hated to send it back.

I am a commercial video installer. I bought the Arlo intending it to be a quick, temporary set up. For the price I am highly impressed by the ease of setup and the clarity of the picture. It took me approximately 20 minutes to set up. Depending on...

No cons

easy to install and adjust with magnetic mounting easy to set up laptops, iPad, phone -- not just easy, Piece of Cake! easy to use, modify settings

I'd like color choices such as camo without having to buy extra covers. Batteries need to last longer but there are better batteries on line.

The deciding factor for me was the fact that the system had 7 day cloud storage that is free. The camera takes very good pictures in normal lighting conditions and also low light conditions. I also was impressed by the IOS app finding it to be very...

The batteries are expensive and do not last very long at all if you keep the camera functioning where it has to make numerous recordings. The battery meter dropped one bar the first week. When you attempt to open the battery compartment door you slide...

A free add-on camera on this deal at newegg rocks!

Motion detection delay. wish it started recording immediately after object triggers motion sensors.
