I have been doing research for a while now and keep coming back to this brand.

I like that it does not go through Google or Amazon but can If you want it to.

I like the 7 day free Audi/Video backup it gives you for free
Camera has two way audio and night vision and the base comes with a 100db siren as well.

Rechargeable battery comes with and a wall mount

Anyone on the board use these ? What is your experience ? Is it easy to setup if you know your way around a firewall ?

I used some several years ago and it didn't even need this..It loads directly to the web via its own portal..Gave mine up because the batteries were draining me

I have the Arlo Pro 2 system and love it. Super easy to install and great battery life and video quality.

I literally just plugged the base station into my router, downloaded the app, and voila it was set up.

I have the same system as Mr. Penguin and the only complaint I have is there's a decent delay between the motion detection and the actual beginning of recording. the video quality is good and the app makes it very easy.

I thought there was a way to have +/- a few seconds before and after

You plug it in to power and you can have the instant recording. If it’s on battery power, it takes a few seconds to power up and start recording once motion trips it.

The motion detection on them was horrible when I bought mine. Made it almost completely useless. It's been hanging with dead batteries for 2 years now
