I'm new to Arlo.  I just recently bought a 4 camera Pro 2 system and was wondering about an Arlo Q for the inside.  Why would I select a Arlo Q instead of another Pro 2 camera?  Just curious if there was something I was missing that makes it better for the inside. I do see that the Q is cheaper than the Pro 2 camera but is that the only advantage?  Thanks!

The Q camera is more sensitive to movement at a greater distance as it uses Pixel change VS PIR tp detect movement.

( means Q sees changes in the picture )... this allows the Q to work thru glass without issue.

 

Also the Q is always plugged in so never needs a battery change and hook directly into your home wifi.

 

The downside ( which I actually like as I arm inside and outside on diff schedules ) can be that the Q camera will not arm as a group like the Arlo cameras with base.

If you run a Q cam and Arlo cameras, each must be armed separately
