do the research before you jump - Flash, no concurrent access, no SmartThings, etc.

Consider this a warning before you make the jump from one of many other security camera offerings out there - do the research first.  I chose to drop a large investment in NEST cameras as I did not like where google was taking the platform and how they were approaching integration.

ARLO looked appealing and so I made the leap to their ULTRA line with a large number of cameras, multiple base stations, and other accessories.

I have done nothing but regret it.

FLASH?  REALLY?

No concurrent access?

Force timeouts and no real 'security center' experience?

No SMARTHINGS Integration?

Marginal ZONE alert functionality and poor speed

Private wifi network forcing multiple base stations rather than tapping in to repeaters?

Be sure to understand what you want out of the system before you make the jump - and read the fine print.  It may work for you but I am disappointed and over invested.
