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 here now that it's the black friday. But you might not like its monthly storage fee. The only problem I have with arlo is the battery. We went from charging every 5months to every 4weeks. We ended up replacing the batteries.

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!

can you possibly track down the address where it's supposed to be delivered?

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 check it. It works great with our HVAC. But ecobee 3 is already a decent thermostat, it can also work with alexa, only with a separate purchase.

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 about a comparison of canary over others. I think it would've been better if it has button controls or something. though, it really is great for its price.

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 this post that its sensors are a bit too sensitive, though the recordings are immaculately clear, which ofcourse, is more impt.

There's nothing faulty I can find with nest. We have the Nest thermostat. Ours went up and running very smoothly, the installation was quick. But later on we found out it can't work with our apple homekit (since it's owned by google), But overall, got no grudges against Nest.

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 details about it. The resolution is clear too.

If you already have Alexa, then ecobee 3 might be better. I think it is the only edge Ecobee4 got over the Ecobee3.

I agree on smart things!! the back up power is just important. Tho I read that it's got only few networking protocols supported.

I think arlo pro is good enough. Most of the wifi cams nowadays have monthly cloud fee, though there are some that doesn't. I just feel like it's batteries aren't so great.

I think the 800 series will do. it can clean as much as the Roomba980/960. The extras on 900s just aren't worth it.
