To recap
With audio/motion-detection kicking capture into action the Arlo’s built-in battery can last for a long time, ensuring peace of mind and longevity – without the necessity for pricey monthly billing costs to worry about. Sure, Google’s Nest alternative is a more advanced system, but it’s far pricier with ongoing costs, which is how Arlo earns its keep.
