Good option but there are better

I purchased this at the Gainesville, Va store. Read a lot of reviews, and can say that the reviewers must be using these camera's indoor because I haven't experience the same level of satisfaction using them as outside cameras. First with Geofencing, you are pretty much limited to sliding the bar on the software between 0 -100% and watching for the camera's LED to give you an indicator of distance..total pain. One of the four camera's continuously drops its internet connection and I have to physically remove and reinstall the battery in order to re sync the camera, only for it to drop the internet connection again an hour later and the darn thing is iin the same room with the hub and router. I sent a ticket into net gear and have yet to hear from them ..two days now still no word. ARLO is better than not having anything at all, and I would suggest that you buy the outdoor mounts if you decide to go with ARLO, because if you use the four magnet mounts outside, you should expect the cameras to shake in high winds. If you allow push notifications from these cameras expect to receive a lot of emails at least until you perfect the geofence monitoring boundaries. I still haven't figured out how to set the video capture to record longer than 10 seconds, not as intuitive as one would expect, and by the time the camera begins recording you are looking at someone walking away, definitely a lag, and this issue isn't only with ARLO, I noticed the same issue with my 4 Nest Outdoor Cameras I purchase at the same time. I wished I had better success with ARLO as NEST is really a prohibitively expensive system when you consider the annual fees associated with 30 day cloud storage for 4 cameras, you might as well pay a one time fee to have someone to install a wired system that has a wifi capability....live and learn I guess.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
