![]() In this mode it can also record its video clips to a flash drive attached to the base unit. That's particularly useful if you have trees blowing in the wind or areas where shadows come and go in your camera's view. You can also set up activity zones to customize where in your image you want the camera to look for motion. If you plug one into power (using a typical microUSB charging cable) you get the capability to have it record continuously-although apparently only if you purchase one of Netgear's paid plans. The Arlo Pro 2 is almost two cameras in one. You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor, but it doesn't have any fancy AI features, so it can get set off by pets or birds if you don't have it adjusted carefully. You get 7 days of cloud storage of motion clips for free, with paid plans providing more. I think this might be because they rely on a wired base unit rather than each camera needing its own compute power. Batteries are at about 90 percent so far. They provide excellent video, timely motion detection, and impressive battery life. I've been using a pair of Arlo Pro 2 cameras for a month. I've used a variety of units, but hadn't found one that had the right set of tradeoffs-until now. Most devices that describe themselves as wireless mean they can use Wi-Fi, but still require power. The need for IR illumination, motion detection, and HD video is at odds with battery life. We've rounded up some of the ones we've been testing, along with some that are widely-used or well-liked for you to look through.įinding a quality wireless outdoor security camera has been something like searching for the Holy Grail. That means lots of choices-which is a good thing because each model is a little different, and picking the right one for you can be hard. Once the province of startups like Ring and August, it seems like every consumer electronics company is determined to take over the market for outdoor security cameras.
