I recently scrapped my Sighthound/IP Camera setup for an Arlo Q setup. Arlo Q is not battery powered, and has a POE option, making it virtually the same (I think a bit better) as Nest. 1080p, night vision, motion detection, two way audio, intuitive mobile app.
I was getting tired of random issues with Sighthound and not finding great compatible cameras in the $100-200 range, and the Arlo Q price and feature set is perfect for me. I know the other Arlo cameras get a bad wrap for being battery powered, rightfully so, but if you don't need wireless power (or specifically want POE) the Arlo Q is great.

Yes... the Q cam is a very good camera.  IMO, prob one of the best Arlo produced.

BTW, if you didn't know the Q cameras ( or Q Plus ) use pixel change detection ( when picture changes it triggers ) over the normal IR detection. That and the "look back" 3 seconds on record file make for great vids.

 

As to the bad side, the Q cameras are now legacy, and are slated for EOL in Jan '25 and are no longer produced.
