Well, they're expensive... so they must be good, right?

I would not say they are expensive at $318 for base station plus 2 cameras at best buy if you say so.

I think I read in the description that the Arlos only offer cloud storage of the images/video they take. With only satellite internet service available here, that was a non-starter for me.

If I recall correctly, you must sign up for a subscription plan to store/review/use video. No go for me.

I feel I got shafted when I bought the Netgear predecessor to the Arlo which has all the same functions. Then a year later they came out with the Arlo and dropped support for my system.

Wouldn't trust netgear to not do it again.

coobie, you are actually correct, my word choice was poor since in fact I think all cameras are expensive. Let me say instead overpriced, because no matter what their absolute price is you are paying too much if you get them, in my opinion.

Thanks for updating us. Can you get the cameras to write photo/video data to a hard drive somewhere on your network?

And can you see the output of the cameras when you are away from the home, via the Internet?

Thanks again!
