From my own perceptive, I would caution against buying Arlo. I have employed Arlo products since their first generation. I find they easy to set up and install, and competitive in terms of features.

 

My latest 'best' are their Ultra 2's and they have mostly pros including an important improvement over my Arlo Pro 2 and Pro 3 cameras - the Ultra 2's have less false alarming from moving tree shadows for example (not much mentioned by anyone else here). However, as a customer-oriented company Arlo sucks.

 

As I posted elsewhere, regarding the latest outage that surprised many of us customers "Worse still, Arlo Corp. 1. realized they had a problem, 2. they have (to this time) not proactively communicated to subscribers, 3. there has been no response from Arlo Co. about a remedy, plan or timetable. With many of our best cameras being down, this leaves many of us feeling, if not actually, vulnerable. When outages occur Arlo management should directly notify affected subscribers - this is a norm for most of the better security/fire alarm companies. As this Ultra 2 outage resulted from Arlo negligence, their remedy for this should not inconvenience customers further. Arlo Corp. should also offer some tangible expression of apology in the form of some financial credit against subscription renewals, if not refunds."

 

Ultra 2's have now been out of service some days, no official word to customers yet.

 

I suggest you consider alternative camera makers; most will catch up with each other in terms of tech features, but customer service should be a big weight in the choice.

Hi Martin,

 

I don't think you understand my question.

i would like to control the Arlo camera with Crestron, have you done this before?

Ah-ha, now I understand. You have Arlo cameras but wish to control via Crestron.

 

No, I have no first hand experience with Crestron.
