This question is regarding the Arlo Security System (https://www.arlo.com/en-us/security-system/arlo-security-system.html) only, not cameras. We are considering purchasing but can't find enough detail about the system's durability to believe it's anything more than a toy right now. Specifically:

 

Does the hub/keypad have any smart tamper resistance built in? What's to stop a thief from breaking in and immediately smashing your hub keypad with a baseball bat, or unplugging it/removing the backup battery if you purchased it, thus preventing it from contacting the monitoring center?

 

We are considering switching from Simplisafe. The simplisafe hub is a separate device from keypad and can be hidden. It also sends a signal to their monitoring center as soon as a door/window is opened and then if a "correct code"/clear signal isn't sent within a minute, even if the hub is unplugged or bashed in, they know to dispatch police.

Does Arlo's Security System have any feature like that? Where is the documentation?

The keypad can be put somewhere that is accessible but is not seen if that is what you are wanting. As long as it can be plugged in. The all in one sensors have 8 detection functions.
