Latest pro version released in 2025. Cheaper than a 3 cams kit ($509.94) - shipping via US

Wider field of view compared to Eufy S220, for those who are wondering (160' vs 135') - yes it needs a subscription for best features, but seemingly faster playback via the cloud (compared to Eufy and others) - App is pretty good too.

  I wonder how it compares to the Ultra 2

    4K vs 2K resolution is the primary call out difference otherwise they are pretty similar, there are a whole bunch of extra features which are available on the new gen stuff like licence plate detection but it seems a lot of it is pay to play, also the Ultra 3 launched a couple of days ago so might be worth looking at those if you already have Ultra 2 …

  Arlo is pretty much useless unless your prepared to pay the ongoing subscription fees. Better to buy something without subscription fees to use even basic features.

      I've had the Pro 2's since Feb 2018 and they've been perfectly fine. What are your complaints?

        The pro 2's were the last generation to work without subscription. anything newer than those requires subscription.

          @breadylonglegs: Lucked out then. The new app loads faster too. Batteries have held up well.

  I have the Pro 2 and Pro 3. Pro 2s work fine, except changing/charging the battery can be a hassle. Pro 3 is easy to charge since the cable magnetically attaches, but recently I've been having issues where I need to clean the pads on the outside cameras before they will start charging; I think theres some corrosion or something.

  Big issue with the Pro 3s is that they sometimes decide to not record, not even to the USB attached to the base station (local storage); it might have to do with cameras randomly deciding to be offline, even when the camera is in the same room as the base station; sometimes they recover by themselves, but most of the time I have to give it some power and lo and behold, they start working and the battery still has 60% or something. Other (rare, but still annoying) times you want to look at live footage, but nope, just keeps spinning, so the service is not something you can depend on.

  Only the main user (account that set up the cameras) can access local storage through the app and if you log in with another device, it kicks the first device off so you can't just share the main user account.

  The event notifications are not fast enough to catch someone still at the door.

  The motion detection while on battery is pretty limited (3m?) and seems to be infrared based. On battery there's no pre-recording, so you only get footage slightly after the trigger. Only when it's connected to external power does it do proper motion detection with ok range and some pre-recording. I'm not sure if it's battery only behaviour, but after it stops recording, theres a period of time where it won't retrigger, so someone could totally trigger it, wait for the light to turn off then run past quickly.

  You can only set 3 modes per location, before the app rehaul you could create more (possibly any number?). I reckon they limited it so you must pay a subscription per house/device you want to control independently from others.

  It took them nearly 2 years to fix accessing local storage via VPN, a feature mentioned in the support docs since release.

  Overall I would not recommend Arlo, if their service was solid, I would understand but they are not reliable which isn't good for a security camera.
