Great cameras, not the best software

TLDR: Cameras are great, 4k video is great, wide angle is great. Wireless installation is quick and easy. The cameras are great. The software is clunky at best. Timeline mode is only available if you pay extra and the camera is not connected to a power source. There are cheaper cameras that work better with software. Full Review: The cameras are great. They are very easy to use and install. Setting up the base station is very quick and synchronizing the cameras is easy. Night vision isn't badโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • A little shabby

So far so good, a few minor complaints

My dual camera Ultra 2 setup has been active for a little over a week. Very impressed with the camera quality and connectivity. Camera setup, picture quality, motion detection and communication range are excellent. Considering the cost of this camera setup you'd expect them to be good, and they are. I haven't owned any previous Arlo cameras, so I can't compare these Ultra 2 to the Pro or Essential models, but compared to other brands I've tried, they're far better across the board. Note that Iโ€ฆ

Some experiences with the Apple Homekit

I was very excited about the recently introduced Arlo Ultra 2 Spotlight Kit (two cameras and base). I thought it was finally a security camera kit that I can conveniently use with my Apple TV 4K, iPhone, Mac and Windows computers. However, I returned the kit today after a frustrating two day experience with these security cameras, at least for the Apple HomeKit environment (which is why I bought them in the first place). Pros * 180 degree field of view is really amazing (great color); Fisheyeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • No automatic controls
