Arlo Pro 3 Questions before I purchase

teronhexi — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 05:40:12 GMT

I've been looking at buying a 2 camera outdoor system for my home but my questions are:

How far away will it detect motion and activate recording?
I have two buildings on my property, one has very thick stone walls, can I have one camera on each building or does the Smart Hub living in just one building stop this being an option - is there a solution if so?
If I wanted to purchase additional 1st or 2nd generation Arlo cameras, for areas that are less important, will they be compatible with the Arlo 3 system?

Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to reply.

Hi @teronhexi

Hopefully this helps.

Q. How far away will it detect motion and activate recording?

A. The cameras will pickup most motion from approximately 25' https://kb.arlo.com/000062617

Q. I have two buildings on my property, one has very thick stone walls, can I have one camera on each building or does the Smart Hub living in just one building stop this being an option - is there a solution if so?

A. Multiple Stone walls, glass, drywall are all factors that can impact range. The base station connection to the camera signal works at about 300' in any direction. https://kb.arlo.com/35

Q. If I wanted to purchase additional 1st or 2nd generation Arlo cameras, for areas that are less important, will they be compatible with the Arlo 3 system?

A. I have provided an article with the base station compatibility here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062284
