ve worked surprisingly well, but I'd like something with a bit more placement flexibility (which the Arlo's battery power offers) and HomeKit integration.
In my opinion, look somewhere else. I have five Arlo Ultra cameras around the house and one Arlo Pro 2 in the garage. I’ve struggled with the range of the cameras and ended up buying a second base station to solve that problem. The configuration of the cameras is overly complicated and the app isn’t very intuitive. I had one Nest Cam before going with Arlo and Google hands down has a much better user experience overall. I have nothing Google in my home now and I have many many Apple devices so it hurts my soul to say that. Ultimately I’m dealing with Alrlo because I’m all in on Homekit, but I’m definitely missing a lot of what Nest had to offer. (less)
Thanks to Ring and Orbit I will never again get fooled into buying something that says Homekit is coming soon, unless I’m perfectly happy with it not having Homekit compatibility.
