    How hard is it to install the cameras? I'm pretty dumb with tools.

      dirt easy. as hard as you want to make it tbh…my relationship with Arlo has been love/hate tbh. It's gone downhill (for me) since they split from Netgear. Seems to be better on iOS but still it's load time is slower than what it once was.

        I agree. Now by the time an intruder (or delivery person) has come and gone, THEN I get the notification. It's so slow. Not to mention when you try to just have a conversation with someone through the camera, it's super delayed.
        It's not worth the money

              • Da dpG on 19/05/2020 - 16:59

                @michaelTito: it's good if you wire them.. but not if you use the battery way where it records when motion activated.
                "apparently" if you wire them up to a power source it's 24/7 recording and i think they made it free for you to be able zone record which is handy. but again i'm not sure..

            @michaelTito: Ditto.

            Was about to spend hundreds of dollars on security cameras for a house I don’t even have yet.

          I agree. Now by the time an intruder (or delivery person) has come and gone, THEN I get the notification. It's so slow.

          That was my experience with the original Arlo (the one with 4 CR123As), but when I switched to the Arlo Pro, I noticed the notifications were very quick. I have one outside a door, when I open the door from the inside, I get a notification on my Android phone within ~2 seconds, all the time. It's quite surprising for a battery-powered camera. Not sure if my experience is typical or not.

          • Da dpG on 19/05/2020 - 17:48

            @eug: So your notifications are real time? What about when speaking through your camera via your phone? Any lag there?

            • eug on 19/05/2020 - 19:26

              @Da dpG: Yup, surprisingly my notifications are near-realtime. I'm probably more surprised at how consistent it has been.

              I just powered up my spare Arlo Pro camera and pointed it at a stopwatch. The delay between the stopwatch and what I see on my phone (wifi off, connected to Telstra) is about 3 seconds.

              Talking to the camera, the delay is less than a second. But the audio coming from the camera is delayed by about 3 seconds.

              I noticed if the connection is interrupted, when it resumes, it resumes where it dropped off, so the delay is longer. Stopping and starting the video makes it go back to normal.

              The speaker on my Arlo Pro is barely audible though - I wouldn't consider it usable unless it was dead quiet!

                @eug: I bought the US 2 camera model for $350ish back in December, and just been super lazy setting it up. Saw this deal, which made me finally bite the bullet(I very nearly bought the 4 camera + smartthings combo from this deal….). Took 30 minutes max to setup app, base station, both cameras and mounting. Could not believe how easy it was.

                My impressions: Notifications are instant. Out of the box, delay was maybe 3 seconds, but it seems to have optimised itself and now is around 1 second on both cameras. Both the speaker and microphone are excellent. Geofencing works really well.

                Free cloud storage for 7 days, but I also added a 2TB external hard drive to keep the recordings.

                Connecting to live is about the only issue I have. Front camera always works within 5 seconds, back camera is hit and miss and can take anywhere up to 15-20 seconds.

                Overall for $350 it is an amazing little kit.

    Was playing up between Arlo 3 vs Arlo 2. Reviews I know Arlo 3 is better but can't pass up the 4 pack Arlo 2 bundle.
    Anyone have any personal experience with the two and if there is a massive difference other than clearer image?

    • eug on 19/05/2020 - 17:12

      I don't know about the image quality, but don't forget you get free 7 day cloud storage with the 2. You need a subscription for cloud storage for the 3.

      Hopefully Arlo doesn't pull the 2's free cloud storage in the future!

  • VlVh on 19/05/2020 - 16:59

    I would stay away from these unless you have proper outdoor wiring. The batteries will inevitably fail and they are such a pain to change regularly.

    • fruxo on 19/05/2020 - 18:19

      If you have proper outdoor wiring, then definitely get wired cameras instead of these. Much cheaper. The only reason to get Arlo is for the full wireless.

  • LittleTicket on 19/05/2020 - 17:13

    2 things:
    - Bunnings have the Pro 2 Solar Panel for $99 so just go there (beats the 30% $149 on RACV)
    - Been running a Pro 2 setup for nearly a year and no issues at all. Most of the time a lag issue will be caused by the upload speed of the home network. Can’t comment on battery failure although mine have been fine.

    • Da dpG on 19/05/2020 - 17:51

      What internet speed are you running out of curiosity? I'm running 25/5 mpbs and I still have lag

      • LittleTicket on 19/05/2020 - 18:24

        50/20. Remember that if your router is too far from the camera it’ll also affect performance. So maybe a mesh WiFi like this will do it good!

        • mr chow on 19/05/2020 - 18:28

          I guess that's why if you buy the arlo bundle it comes with the Samsung Smart things mesh for it to connect.

        • Da dpG on 19/05/2020 - 19:47

          it's plugged directly into my router though.. this is why i'm a little confused

          • LittleTicket on 19/05/2020 - 20:18

            @Da dpG: If the cameras are plugged directly in to your router then I’m confused. I actually don’t remember there being an Ethernet port on the cameras themselves?

    • fruxo on 19/05/2020 - 18:20

      We've had the solar panel for maybe a year or so, and battery is always at 100%. Just FYI for anyone interested.

      Edit: in Brisbane. But the solar panel is only in direct sunlight for maybe a couple of hours each morning.

    bought the Arlo Pro 2 4 camera last night and wanted to cancel it, but RACV don't provide a cancellation less the 24 hours of putting order. this is a Poor form I reckon. Won't be purchasing stuff from RACV anymore.

    • mr chow on 20/05/2020 - 10:27

      So you can still cancel it but only after 24 hours?

      • whtbox on 20/05/2020 - 10:36

        At first they refused, but after I told them I'm very dissapointed. They are happy to provide the refund now.

    • eug on 20/05/2020 - 10:27

      You won't buy from RACV again because you changed your mind on a purchase?

      • whtbox on 20/05/2020 - 10:33

        the problem is it's very difficult to find that information on their website. If you search Cancellation in their Website, it's all showing insurance cancellation information. the Tax invoice is no email information only phone numbers which when you called it told you to email instead. I'll buy their insurance product, but not goods that they are selling as their policy is no change your mind policy. I believe most of the store provides or at least more transparent about change your minds less that 24 hours of putting order. But it's my experience. So far after a Disappointing email to them they happy to provide a refund as I wrote the comments.

          I'll buy their insurance product, but not goods that they are selling as their policy is no change your mind policy.

          I think that's pretty normal - change-of-mind returns are not usually accepted unless it's a major retailer who can afford the labour costs and uncertainty involved - which usually means higher prices. Even the ACCC says you are not entitled to a change of mind return or refund.

          • whtbox on 20/05/2020 - 10:46

            @eug: Fair enough I guess, I can consider RACV is not a Major Retailer lol. But I'll keep this in mind for the future. Thanks for the information.

        • swifty7 on 20/05/2020 - 20:49

          Be careful with review sites like productreview.
          With any product, there will always be people who don't have the best luck, or have unrealistic expectations. Because they're angry or disappointed, they will look for sites like productreview and rant away.

          Sometimes their rants are warranted, sometimes they're just not aware about how technology works. Take a look at the first review - the first thing they say is "remember that the sensors for alerting you do not work through glass". All these battery-powered cameras, the Eufycam included, use a PIR sensor for motion detection. None of them will work through glass.

          The second thing they mention is that the camera can be unscrewed from the external wall mount. That is no different to any other battery-powered camera out there.

          For that, they give two stars.

          If I do read productreview reviews, I have to read them carefully to figure out if the user simply has no clue, or it's a genuine concern with the product.

          There's definitely a large number of users out there, me included, who have no problems with the Arlo Pro cameras. Because I have had no problems, I haven't bothered to seek out a product review site just to post a comment saying "Everything works great". So as a result you'll naturally read more negative comments on sites like productreview - so don't base your decisions solely on a site that attracts complaints.

        "Your order has been processed and is due to be shipped currently awaiting tracking numbers to be sent out"

        i have the original arlo and have been happy with it for years based on how old it is so this would be an upgrade. Value for money wise its great because i got the smart things bundle included so once i sell my old arlo system i would have paid only a minimal amount to upgrade to a better system for my case.
