Hi everyone,

 

just purchased an arlo pro set (4 cameras) and I'm having some challenges setting it up. I have a few questions I'd like answered if possible.

 

1). Do you need significant internet speed for the system to run smoothly in live mode? What would be the recommended minimum download/upload speed?

 

2). Our older system allowed for constant audio transmission from the camera to monitor in an other location. So, if we were in the warehouse and someone would walk into the store it would transmit the sound at all time, like an open channel. Is this possible with the Arlo Pro? Can there be a constants open audio channel that would allow me to hear whenever someone comes into the business?

 

thanks in advance.

#1... Min upload by Netgear is 1MB/sec ... whatis your data thruput...you can test at   https://www.speedtest.net/

 

#2... No, the Pro cameras do not keep an open mic... they are "motion detect then record" type cameras... the mic is manually operated at time of use
