Review: Arlo Ultra is a 4K HomeKit-ready smart home camera with endless features
Hmmm, I bought a new house and like to decide on an eco system to build around. Nest vs Ring vs HomeKit.
Two things I don't like on the Arlo:
-Needing its own hub. Especially I am looking to implement an Eero mesh system (1 base + 2 beacon setup) which only has one available ethernet port that this would take. Sounds like you are forced to use the hub effectively ignores the mesh network while having multiple cameras spread around my property connecting to one central device. It would concern me that there can be wifi interference causing connectivity issues.
-Wireless recording. How long are the clip recordings? I know Ring only does 30 seconds which is not enough for many instances. Also are the recording lengths configurable? eg, 30 seconds - 5 minutes?
I want homekit to work, but I don't feel it's complete enough to meet my home automation needs yet.
