I've been looking at Amcrest as well but with this whole system:

They have a ton of positive reviews but I'd also like to hear from you real people if you have any insight into their quality.

Just gonna mention Arlo agian.

I'll post this link to their site and some of my video for real world use.

That Arlo video looks great! I don't know if I'm super sold on the video just going to the cloud- I think I'd rather have it where I can... have it.

Do you get the 4-6 months out of your batteries like they say?

Closer to 4. But that camera is the busiest. I'm done w/ hard drives for storage. They're useless if stolen, unless you also have a cloud service, and only last a few years. They're constantly working, run hot and are noisy. You can download any video you want and store it. And their app for my phone works better than others I've used that have to access your hard drive to retrieve video.

Motion sensitive.

How much is their cloud service? I was on phone and didnt find it right away. The packages are attractively priced, but if it's more than like $10/m that kinda sours me a bit.

Free if you don't store all your video. So, free up to so many gigs.

My night owl cams are all programmable to be motion sensitive in customizable fields of view. Can view any camera live remotely. No batteries to ever replace. No maintenance. DVR is hidden away in the attic is basically impossible to steal. You can also set it up to backup everything to a networked drive (or cloud storage, if you prefer) in real time. No monthly fees. Set and forget.

So I'm back on the camera train. Looking to purchase and of course me being somewhat lazy like the idea of the Arlo, however not the idea of constantly changing batteries.

Another concern I have is the possibility of it getting hacked, what are your thoughts on that since it is wireless?

The website says temperature range on the low side is 32 degrees. Do you agree to that? Obviously a concern of mine in CO is that we do see much colder temperatures.

I'm not a technology guy, so reading the website I am confused about some things. Can you view your camera from your smart device as soon as you it gets detection or do you have to access the cloud first then view it? I realize it doesn't have not stop recording unless there is detection.

It's wireless. It's vulnerable.

Batteries would piss me off. If the base station gets turned off, loses power, your batteries die at a VERY fast rate (radios, unlinked, consume power like crazy).

32 Degrees isn't enough for outside here. Most of the camera's we use for our customers have heaters in the outdoor enclosures.

I can't answer your questions about viewing, but I am sure Jefe will chime in.
