Question

Besides the arlo pro 2/3 what is another good brand of wireless security cameras? Just trying to weigh out the pros and cons between them

Answer 1

I run 7 arlo cameras with the Smart AI, then a few Reolink Argus cameras as a backup option.

@outgroup which do you like better and why

---

I like arlo the best for the AI alerts and its a more polished app. Reolink is decent but too many false notifications but they are releasing a new cameras soon with AI smart notifications as well.  

---

If I had an extra $1, 000 I would get all arlo 2/3 cameras with solar panels, but solar panels after awhile look ., too tacky. and I don’t wanna invest in power cord options. EufyCam might be a good option as well.  

---

@outgroup what is smart AI? Sorry, new to this.  

---

Basically identify humans, animals, vehicles, packages from deliveries. So if you only want to be notified about humans it can do that instead of just a normal motion alert. Arlo has had this feature for years on their $ plans now others over last year or so are catching up.  

Answer 2

Blink XT. Eufycam. Ring Stick up cam

@kurt43666 I start at 100 and drop it 1 each time I get a false alert within 30 mins of a previous false alert

Steve, sent you a pm.

Steve, do the Arlo pro 3s require a subscription and a different base station from the pro and pro 2?  

---

Yes. They require a subscription to record to the cloud. They don't necessarily need a different base station but do come with one if you buy a kit. The base they come with is called a smarthub

I know that Tenable tested Arlo’s security last year and it passed a lot of tests with very little issues. Unlike ring and others.
