I have four Arlo Pro 2 cameras and a doorbell, all outside. I was able to get close enough to power sources to have them all plugged in, I did have to add two outdoor outlets but it was worth it to not deal with batteries. Video is good, audio is good, the ability to talk back has a significant lag. The UI is pretty good but not perfect, despite my best efforts setting the activity zone my porch flag still sets off the doorbell alert sometimes, sometimes it still dings for a person when it’s my dog, you can’t change the alert tone so it sounds just like a text message, and it’s $10 per month per camera for them to continuously record, even with a local HD. Otherwise it only records the alert video and stores them for a week. Overall I’m happy and would probably get them again, I like that they aren’t tied to Amazon or Google who have a history of giving away or using camera data.
