re: Outdoor security cameras
Posted by TechDadHere on 11/23/18 at 5:35 am
Arlo user here as well. It has a mobile app that you can check on your phone, has two way audio as well. I think they're dropping good deals [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/black-friday-cyber-monday-arlo-deals/)]here[/link] now that it's the black friday. But you might not like its monthly stora...
re: Need security camera system for exterior of home
Posted by TechDadHere on 10/27/18 at 11:02 am
I agree on the Arlo pro. The surveillance, notification, the quality of the videos are great. But if you place it in a busy location, battery change is going to be a bit of a hassle. Not to mention their cloud subscription. I hope [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/arlo-pro-vs-arlo-pro-2-difference...
re: Arlo Reviews
Posted by TechDadHere on 7/29/18 at 4:51 am
another edge of Arlo pro 2 is the continuous recording. The arlo pro couldn't do that. It only records when it detects motion. Clearer recording on pro 2 too! ...
re: Arlo security camera
Posted by TechDadHere on 7/20/18 at 9:30 am
Agree on the sensitivity. It doesn't have to be the Arlo itself that needs to be adjusted. Might find few help [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/smart-security-camera-comparison/#arlo_pro)]here.[/link] Mine does the opposite though, I get false notifs every now and then.

re: Home Secruity Camera

Either of the Arlo pro and Nest should be good. Both of [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/arlo-pro-vs-nest-cam-outdoor/)]these[/link] cameras have amazing 2way communication which i think is necessary in every wifi cams nowadays. Nest got's a way better resolution though - 1080p...
re: Smart thermostat
Posted by TechDadHere on 6/10/18 at 11:14 pm
I have an ecobee4. It came handy since it's got built in alexa already. if you're planning to start a smarthome, it might be a good idea to [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/ecobee3-vs-ecobee4-differences/)]check it[/link]. It works great with our HVAC. But ecobee 3 is already a decent thermostat,...
re: Need suggestions for a home security camera system
Posted by TechDadHere on 6/8/18 at 1:24 pm
If you plan to install one outdoors, wireless cams might be something worth checking out. We have a bunch of it and everything's doing good so far. But I noticed that these cameras sometimes fail to work properly when there's an intermittent connection. That seldom happens to us anyway so it's sti...
re: Canary vs. Ring vs. Nest Question
Posted by TechDadHere on 4/20/18 at 12:37 pm
I used to have a Canary and i must say, the resolution is just great. We liked it then coz it really doesn't look like a camera at first glance, more like a speaker. I also noticed that it takes a couple of seconds to load, maybe because all of its controls are on the app? Idk. I read [link=(https:/...
re: Best Roomba vacuum knock off?
Posted by TechDadHere on 4/19/18 at 9:04 am
Eufy might work fine too. Before we got ourselves the Roomba, we first had Eufy and I can say the suction is awesome. The only reason why we switched to Roomba is because Eufy can't work with Alexa, other than that. Eufy is good. You can check [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/eufy-vs-roomba-which...
re: Nest cams vs others
Posted by TechDadHere on 4/17/18 at 2:54 am
I love Canary cams! They look like speakers at first glance. It's one of our choices when still finding a monitor for my toddlers. But ended up getting a different brand. I read [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/smart-security-camera-comparison/#canary)]this[/link] post that its sensors are a bit ...
re: Best affordable motion camera for trespassing
Posted by TechDadHere on 4/11/18 at 4:27 am
Rootin' for arlo pro as well, if against the arlo. It has similar features with the previous arlo but the improvements on the pro is something to consider. Speak&hear thru the camera is awesome. It also sends notifications, sometimes there's too much false notifs though. I found [link=(https://smart...
re: Best Home Camera System
Posted by TechDadHere on 4/8/18 at 7:19 am
We had the arlo. It's great that i get to hear through the cams, it has a motion sensor too but sometimes it gets a little too sensitive that it sends false notifs. You can check few [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/smart-security-camera-comparison/#arlo_pro)]details[/link] about it. The resoluti...

I think arlo pro is good enough. Most of the wifi cams nowadays have monthly cloud fee, though there are [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/smart-security-camera-comparison/#arlo_pro)]some[/link] that doesn't. I just feel like it's batteries aren't so great. ...

It's good but you might want to check further [link=(https://smartrobotichome.com/smart-security-camera-comparison/)]details[/link] about it. I've seen Piper nv which is quite similar with arlo pro. Only it's cheaper. One thing not so nice about this though is the video resolution....
