Review on Arlo Pro VMS4230S-100NAR: Wireless HD Camera Security System (2-Camera Kit) - Top Rated, High Performance Solution by Jerome Pritchard

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy install, variable results

Batteries should last months. I got three cameras and made sure they were all fully charged before installing them. One at 75%, one at 50%, one went down today. I've been wearing them for a little over a month. All on the street, in front of my house (same conditions). When I tried to charge the batteries, the spring-loaded part fell out. Again. Resetting is almost impossible for me or my mechanically inclined daughter with small fingers (due to the spring being loose and falling off). So basically I can charge two at the same time. Didn't think it would make much of a difference other than apparently I would have to do it once a month. I had to order a new charger. Equally troubling is the fact that their detection zones differ - one records motion from the street - after an object has passed my house, the other - about a foot and a half closer to the street - only captures it after it's in ten . camera legs. There doesn't seem to be a way to set this. That means someone will be on my doorstep when the recording starts, even if they're coming out of my driveway. I wish there was a grid with a label - you can see that on camera, but it's recorded. when I can actually watch the live broadcast (at home or away). I've read reviews of the app and people are upset with the difference between the original app and this new update. that their detection range is different - one will record movement from the street - after the object has passed my house, the other - about a foot and a half closer to the street - will only record it once it is within ten. camera legs.
