- View, download, and share: You can view, download or share any of the videos clips which the camera has recorded in the last week. You can share funny videos that have been taken from around your home, as well as download evidence to show to the police in the event of a break-in.
- A low-key camera: Arlo's HD camera is one of the smallest security cameras on the market, easily fitting into the palm of your hand. It's barely noticeable, making it less likely that it will be disabled in the event of a break-in.
- Just ask Google or Alexa: If you use either Google or Amazon Alexa's home assistants, you can ask them to call up the live stream from a specific room on your phone or tablet. This is a quicker way of accessing the live stream during a security alert, while also being more convenient overall.
- Protects your privacy: You control whether motion and sound detection is activated. You can create a monitoring schedule, have monitoring switch on based on your physical location (geofencing), or completely disable the cameras' sensors.
- Expand your system: Arlo's Premium and Elite plans allow you to store video clips from a larger time frame, while also allowing you to use more cameras in your network. Continuous Video Recording plans give you the ability to record absolutely everything that the camera sees.

Before it arrives (System Requirements)
It's a classic 1st world problem. Our long-awaited gadget arrives only for our homes to not fulfill a specific system requirement. Your new toy is now nothing but an expensive paperweight. To avoid experiencing disappointment, read the Netgear Arlo HD cameras' system requirements below:
- You'll need an internet connection with at least 1 Mbps of download speed. While most households should fulfill this requirement, you can contact your Internet Service Provider if you're unsure about the speed of your connection.
- You'll also need to have a home Wi-Fi network with an available Ethernet port. An Ethernet cable is used to connect the Base Station to your HD cameras.
Placing Your Arlo Cameras
Correct placement is vital when it comes to getting the best performance for your camera. Here's a breakdown on how camera placement can help you get better performance in three key areas:
To get optimal sensor performance, it's recommended that you position the camera at least 7 feet above the ground. While this is best achieved by installing the magnetic camera mount at this height on a wall, you can also simply place the camera on a shelf at this height.
The easiest way to get the clearest video possible is to tune-in to the camera's live stream as you initially place the camera. Netgear recommends that you tilt the camera's head slightly downwards, as this enables you to record faces more easily.
When it comes to keeping the camera out of sight, the best strategy is to place it against a white background (such as an outdoor or indoor wall). Placing the camera against a colorful surface will cause the camera's white exterior to stick out, making it far easier to detect. Another strategy is to place it on a shelf or mantelpiece where you have lots of different objects. This helps the camera to look inconspicuous, disguising it as part of your home decoration.
Following these tips will help you to get the clearest video, the most accurate notifications, and help keep the camera out of sight from others.Plenty of home security options

MoritzThe initial process of setting up the cameras and connecting to the Base Station can be a little time consuming (you have to set up each camera individually), but the process in and of itself is simple.
