[Review] Netgear Arlo Pro 2: Arlo, Is It Me You’re Looking For? {Platinum}


You Are Protected 

As Malaysia slowly descends into a state of turmoil where people resort to petty theft as a last resort, you can rest easy knowing that the Netgear Arlo Pro 2 is here to protect you. With the choice of having up to six cameras at one go, you can now keep your entire home protected and connected always. Each camera comes with HD quality live streams with integrated automatic night vision lens so you will know what goes on in your backyard when you’re not home.

Nothing Goes Undetected 

Each Netgear Arlo Pro 2 camera is equipped with 130-degree wide-angle lens so you will be able to see more, making it that much easier to strategically position each camera in key points of your home. The cameras also come with advanced motion detection through a wide-angle PIR motion sensor, which will ensure no movement in its line of sight goes unnoticed. If it does detect a potential threat, a 100+ decibel siren will sound through the built-in speaker in the cameras (which has caused a ruckus in my household on more than one occasion).

Be in Control Over Everything 

Thanks to the easy setup, you can connect the Base Station and all the cameras to your smartphone with the Netgear Arlo app. This way, you can keep tabs on each camera’s line of sight, which will record motion or sound-triggered events and is then saved on the cloud storage space. You will also receive instant mobile alerts in case the cameras detect any movements.

1 – Easy Setup
The Netgear Arlo Pro 2 was easy to set up as it required no cables aside from a LAN cable to be connected to the Base Station.

2 – In Rain Or Shine
The wireless cameras come with an IP65 waterproof rating so you don’t have to worry about the rain short-circuiting the camera.

3 – Easy Recording Storage
You can either choose to save your recordings on a USB drive or through Netgear’s free cloud storage.
