Actually yes....

as a matter of fact , I find the Pro to have better night vision over the Pro2

Ok! Thank you. There seemed to be an issue with speed, pixelation, and freezing. I’m currently wondering if I need more internet speed or better position.

Well. tho Arlo recommend at least a 1MBS upload, ( that is for the original Arlo cameras ) , the newer cameras like the Pro/Pro2 use a bit more data thruput.... I would say for really good response at least almost 2MBS upload for good response.  Some people are limited by their service so it may be an issue

 

I run 14 cams right now ( Arlo, Pro, Pro2, Baby cam, and Q ).... but have very little issues due to a very high upload speed.

Remember that when a cam is streaming, it can use 500Kb to 1 Meg ( depends on cam and level of quality )... and that is for each cam that becomes active if someone moves thru multi cams
