Arlo Pro 2 Review - Is It Better Than The Original Arlo Pro?

  • In October Netgear released the new Netgear Arlo Pro 2 Wireless Security Camera System. The Pro 2 system adds a few new features including 1080p video, the new "Look Back" feature, activity zone detection, and 24/7 Continuous Video Recording. The Arlo cameras are also capable of integrating with smart home devices like the echo dot, smartthings, hub and IFTTT app.
    Netgear has also released the Arlo Solar Panel which works with the Arlo Pro and Arlo Pro 2 and it does a great job of keeping the cameras charged. However, it does not provide enough power to enable the "powered" features such as "Look Back", "Custom Activity Zones", and "CVR".

    I usually don't have much patience to videos but listening to you compare the two types of cameras was amazingly painless and effortless!! Thank you so much

    Loved your review, very clearly explained. My son just purchased me a Arlo home security camera for my apartment as a bday gift, seems I had some unexpected guest stopping in and helping themselves to some of my things. Thanks to the Arlo pro I am feeling secure again, the video takes are very clear and I love the idea that I cab download a app to my phone that alerts me in someone enters and I can save it to my 📱. No more stressful sleepless nights!! Thanks to Arlo home security and my son's for purchasing and helping me get it set up..

    I got a 5 camera system a month ago, and it works great. I found that I have to turn individual cameras off when it is very windy, or heavy rainfalls, or snow. I have 2 cameras wired, and 3 on battery. They are all outdoors. Even though the resolution at night is not great, they pick up remarkable motion. For instance, they pick up rabbits in the backyard just by the whites of their eyes in motion. Similarly for raccoons and cats. This morning, the motion was triggered by two large deer ambling in the back yard.

    • @xxxdpgxxxx1389
      @xxxdpgxxxx1389 5 років тому

      Lyrics Mania no take out the battery if you’re going to connect it directly wired , if you leave the battery in along with it directly powered you will get an error

    • @ChrisMajestic
      @ChrisMajestic  5 років тому

      I recommend leaving the batteries in the camera so they can still record if you lose power to the camera. It will deteriorate the battery life over time but it's still worth having a battery to fall back on

  • @robertscorp2000
    @robertscorp2000 5 років тому

    This gentleman succinctly explained what I needed to know about the Arlo pro 2 cameras vs. Arlo pro AND pointing out concerns, restrictions and realities of the system in a non complicated way. Saved me hours of searching Arlo forums, UA-cam, etc. I believe you to be not just intelligent but wise. Wisdom to me is often born from intelligence fostered with patience, humility and being non political, non biased, sharing and caring...in one word - LOVE. Thank you very much Sir. HEY! Just read Philip Roll's comment below - I agree with his assessment also.

    Excellent Job on this tutorial. I love my Arlo systems. I have two totaling 13 cameras in locations 100 miles apart. One even runs off cellular wifi. It's amazing the security I have accomplished without wire. Some of my cameras are connected at least 300 feet from my base station.

    One way to save on these could be to purchase a Pro2 for the “main area” where you may need call and response features and then pickup the older cams on eBay for other areas where you just need a visual.

    One of the best tech reviews I’ve ever seen on YT. Detailed and thorough and without unnecessary fluff (enjoyed knowing what’s in the box but I don’t need to see you unboxing it and describing every detail to pad video length). As the video went on, I thought I was watching a video review from CNET or Wired!
    One tiny, hopefully constructive critique; reach out to Arlo and get an official response on why the cameras don’t support zones/continuous recording on battery. I think it’d made the review even more complete and really solidify you as a subject matter expert.
    Amazing work and you’ve got another subscriber!

    Damn good review...Well done. I have had my Arlo pro 2 5 camera system for about 1 month now, love it....BONUS!!! I had caught a sale at Costco for a 3 camera Arlo pro at Thanksgiving with a $200 gift card so it costed me $100 out of pocket with the $300 sale....When I went to pick it up at my local Costco and got home I noticed they accidentally sent me an Arlo pro2 5 camera system(Est $900 retail)...Ah, the struggle for the next 3 days with my conscience!!!...lol.....I did the right thing and called Costco to let them know the error after prayer and the internal struggle......Costco said thank you so much for your honesty and they couldn't remember the last time someone called notifying them with this big of a cost error.....Costco said thanks and enjoy your free upgrade! :-) :-) :-) Now I sleep better at night with upgraded monitoring and a clear conscience...It does indeed pay to do the right thing.....THANKS COSTCO!.....Again, great review.

    Good review covering the details 👍🏼 my one problem with Netgear is that they don't seem to really care much about fixing problems with existing systems and seem to just move on to the next one instead. The first generation Arlo were okay, but had a lot of bugs, many of which have never really been addressed. Doesn't say much about their priorities.
    I do know somebody who tried the Pro 2 system and they did have the connection bugs. They called Arlo who would not even admit there were issues, so they took it back and got the regular Pro system and it has worked fine so far.

    Just purchased the pro2 "plus audio doorbell ( wont be using doorbell) I'm 65 yrs old and tho I know enuff to install he system and have a smart phone, I know nothing about computers, apps etc. so as I watch several videos on the pro 2 I get really lost/confused when you guys start "rattling off" all the adjustments and settings that are done using the phone. I know how to make calls and send texts, that's it. I can't believe the kit does not come with a more comprehensive user manual (pro 2 for Dummies) that explains all that stuff. I was just wanting an easy wireless (outdoor) security camera system to keep an eye on the front of my property. I'll probably have to call Best Buys "geek squad" to come and teach me how to use this system after I install it or just return it. Thanks for th video.
