Arlo Wire-Free HD Security Camera Review
As a working mom, I do worry about my home security which is why I was very interested in reviewing the Arlo Wire-Free HD Security Camera to find out if its’ many features would provide some peace of mind while I am at the office.
7 Reasons Why I like the Arlo Wire-Free HD Security Camera
1. The camera is Completely Wire-Free. I know most of you with homes probably don’t care about this but I hate wires. If you saw my television or computer area, you would be laughing at all the wires that are here, there and everywhere. The last thing I need is having another wire going from a security camera to its’ base. So how does the Security Camera work? The cameras are battery and wi-fi operated which means you can position these cameras anywhere. Woohoo!!
2. The camera is waterproof. Again I live in an apartment so I don’t need a camera to watch the outside of my house but this a feature that homeowners will like being able to watch who is coming and going.
3. Small size – Look how small it is so you can hide it and actually move it here, there and everywhere.
4. The camera offers a motion-activated recording option. Fantastic feature since it saves you battery life and storage space. Most importantly this offers the owner a visual proof of unwelcome guests (let’s hope that never happens, right.)
5. Remote access: Want to check your home from your smartphone, tablet, or computer? Check! I love that you can connect up to 15 Arlo cameras to the cloud for easy, all-in-one check-ins with easy to schedule feature so you can determine which cameras are to be on and when – all from the arlo app.
I uploaded the app to my iPhone, my iPad and my desktop. The below pictures are of my living room area. And you can also name each camera (which I haven’t done yet) so you can keep track.
6. Easy Set Up – You just have to download the Arlo iOS app or Android app to monitor and manage your home security.
7. I can check up on my teenage daughter. I pretty much know where my daughter is during the day as well as after school. That said, once in a while, I have given permission for her friends to come over after school to do their homework. Do they always do their homework? Most times but they do play a lot of xBox. And frankly, I do not allow boys in my home unless I am there. Period!! So yes, call me a helicopter parent, a phrase I am proud to be called. Again it’s all about my peace of mind.
Do I recommend the Arlo Wire-Free HD Security Cameras? Yes! As a single mom, I really do like the idea of being able to monitor my home (and daughter) whether I am at the office or when I am away from on business. Plus, the easy set up and that the camera wire-free allows me the freedom to pick it up and move it where ever I want, when I want.
