USELESS FOR MONITORING CORRIDOR

XJW — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 21:22:16 GMT

The Arlo camera is near useless for monitoring a corridor as motion is towards the camera. I have the same issue with my front gate and the only way I am able to get motion detection to be effective is to mount the camera in a position that provides an almost useless side and rear view of the subject. Arlo needs a standalone PIR module to be effective. Your competitors have them as they recognize the issue. Why don't you ? I am currently trying to decide whether to continue with Arlo and buy more cameras or give up and go to a competing solution that is more effective. Fix your product gaps. Make it a killer product. Or watch it lose to your competition. And stop working on hero pet projects when you don't have the basics working.

XJW,

I do not currently have information on the possible future availability of a standalone PIR module to assist with motion detection. However, there is a topic suggesting this on the Arlo Idea Exchange. I encourage you to support this idea by adding Kudos to help drive the importance of adding this feature to Arlo.
