Should I get an Arlo Pro 2 system?

[lekanhaji]

Hi all, I’m looking for an security camera system that is Apple HomeKit compatible and records video when it detects motion and then sends that to me via email or alert or stores it in the cloud somewhere.

From what I’ve read Arlo does that I think. But they are quite expensive.

Arlo hasn't made the Pro 2s for a long time, and they are on the end of life list for 1 January 2025.

Any Pro 2 cameras you purchase would be used.

Arlo does make other cameras that have this functionality, but all the current cameras require an Arlo Secure subscription to get cloud storage

Many Arlo cameras support basic homekit functionality, but none support homekit secure video.
